To the victor go the spoils… or, in the case of school kids, to the achievers go all opportunities. How many, I wonder, learn to work the system instead of actually learning?
An achiever is one who rises only to fall. Empty unless in motion. Unhinged unless in swing. What is an achievement? What is success in a mortal coil? One scale to be shed & shed again.
Don’t let anyone ever bully you into being one of these on the ‘over’ side. Achiever? Really what the hell is it anyway? If you get up each day loving the world you live in, seeing the greatness in others, wanting to help those less fortunate than you are; if you can look in the mirror and say, I can do better, I will do better, for the people I love, then you’re an achiever, for sure.
“In my younger days, I was taking orders from the White House Chief of Staff. I have friends in high places, hell, some of them even have statues around here!” Matt swung his arm around, pointing vaguely at the Capitol building in the distance. “But this lady has connections! I tried to get her records from several agencies, but they had suffered an ‘accidental removal’ – which is what they call it when they ‘disappear’ somebody. No social security number, no medical records, no tax records, no criminal record; the lady doesn’t officially exist. And you don’t get like that unless you know the right people, and know them well, or you know how to twist their arm.” “So you found nothing on her?” Doyle asked. “No, one of my people eventually cracked it using the recording of your meeting with her. He ran her voice against the database of mobile phone calls to find a voice match, and Bingo! Here’s what we got on her.” Doyle took the folder, and started flicking through it. “Thanks, I didn’t think you’d have to go to such great lengths!” Matt smiled. “Everybody loves an over achiever! But the hard part will be making sure she doesn’t find out that we’ve found her.”
He had been an over achever all his life. He never settled for the B in class, or the cornerback on the football team. That’s how it has always been for him. Win or go home. But that was all about to change for David.
An achiever is someone who does something significant. To achieve is grand for each specific person because of it’s individuality that can be associated with it. My goal in life is to become a grand achiever because I have many things that I want to achieve.
I have been called an aver-achiever. I love to go above and beyond what I need to do. Unfortunately, this has gotten me into trouble, because sometimes I feel like I should do so much and I become paralyzed.
I am quite the achiever as I have been enlightened in a way that I know that I am the creator of my own Universe every minute of every day and everybody else can once they realize the true talents of spirit and energy inside of themselves…don’t sell yourself short. We are all awesome.
An achiever is someone who works really hard for many things and reasons. Sometimes, an achiever might work too hard. Our society pushes achievers often, making us feel like we are constantly underachieving.
I would call myself an’ Achiever ‘ in some situations. When it comes to sports i’m more determined to achieve in that environment, other than school of course. I’m in no means, a over-achiever. Yes, It’s a priority of mine to win, but it’s not number one. Number one to me is to work with all my might to become better than i was yesterday.
The party his parents threw for him was in full swing. Friends and family mingled, sharing mutual pride and gratitude. Their back claps, hand shakes, and hugs were suffocating. He retreated quietly into the solitude of his bedroom where there were no plaques or trophies to measure his worth.
Was she brilliant at studies? Was she a high achiever?
No…but she could be. How did it matter anyway? She had to slog her way to school, day after day.
Fifteen years on, she’s noticing a significant downfall in her toddler’s learning patterns.
Was it her mistake? No. Did she think it was her mistake? …she kept quiet.
She checked things off the list definitively and with great relish. Check. Check. Check. She looked up through her bangs at the room, looking at all of the details, assuring she had missed nothing. She would have her assistant check afterwards as well, but this moment was her private victory party, a mental lap around what she created.
She was an achiever. An over-achiever, maybe. She was at the top of her class, every single one of them. Universities were clambering to get her to study with them – even international universities were interested. It was all an illusion, though, for things were not right at home.
One point in time was all it took to start a straight line, and follow it toward the unknown. I had begun to look for a way out for quite some time by then, and a simple shove would push me over the edge.
It felt really good to accomplish something after such a long drought of inactivity. Apathy had become her worst enemy, and so she had battled with herself daily. Despite her best efforts, it had all come to naught, and the constant defeats had weighed her down. But not today. Today, she had won. And she decided then that it was only the first of many.
Her. Him. Them. Always other people. Never me. I have never been an achiever. I have always wondered if it was because of the ways I was brought up or maybe I never really was born to achieve things. I hate it.
Someone has truly achieved success in their lives when they are happy with themselves, their partners, and just their overall life (careers, family, friends, money, travelling, nice house/apartment, decent cars, etc). They can call themselves an “achiever” in life when they have reached this level of success.
achievers are people i cannot stand they always do something worth remarking on and here i am left sitting beneath my apple tree thinking that i may as well fall asleep but inevitably an apple will fall and hit me on the head knocking me out of my reverie and just such an apple just fell and now i wonder why it fell
“She’s such an over-achiever, like, wow.”
That’s all I could hear from those prissy girls at the back. I mean, Amanda tried her best, and her A+ on the project showed it. What those girls don’t get is that no matter how hard they try, they can’t be nearly as pretty as her.
Everyone strives to be an achiever in this life. No one wants to be a loser. Some try to over achieve; others try to barely achieve. I pray that I achieve all that God has for me. Nothing more; nothing less.
I am not much of an achiever. In fact, I don’t think I’ve achieved anything noteworthy in my whole 18 years of existence. Strange. I guess when I was in 6th grade I got the Presidential Award for Academics, but that doesn’t really count, does it?
He hadn’t always been an over-achiever. It seemed to have started after his first wife died, when he was sitting at home watching tv when he knew damn well he was supposed to pick her up from work. He always felt like he was responsible for her getting mugged while standing there waiting; that if he had only done the Right Thing that day, she’d still be alive.
Marcus was an overachiever, and so was Margaret. Max didn’t care. She stood in the front yard as her siblings kept tucked away in their rooms, working on complicated calculus problems and massive history essays and God knows what else. Max wasn’t interested in any of that. She just listened to music and smoked.
Her mom was watching her outside the second story window. She didn’t have to look behind her to know that. She was considering blowing the smoke right at her as a symbol of “Go away,” but she understood, deep down, that it wouldn’t deter an overly concerned parent.
he was an over-achiever for sure, but it was not his fault. he could not quite say it was in his genes — his parents were some of the less achieving people he knew, though not for lack of trying — but he was quite sure he was born with it. his eyes told it all, you know? clear, rainy eyes for bright future days, all that crap. i wanted him so much I got wet just listening to his rough voice during meetups.

i’ve been both an under achiever and an over achiever. Neither have been great.
I am a achiever I achieve a lot of awards not really I’m not that great but celebs achieve a lot of achievements so they are achievers.
while I sit here, scared, angsty and shy, you go.
I’m an over-achiever. Getting things done is generally considered a good thing, but some people, including me, try to do way to much……………
Overachiever
Under-achiever and over-achiever are two different kinds of achievers and ways of achieving goals.
Don’t let anyone ever bully you into being one of these on the ‘over’ side. Achiever? Really what the hell is it anyway?

You were successful in your activity, you made it to your goal, you are an achiever.
This website is so neat.

I achiever a book in front of the table. was a literature book, began a read them and like it

achiever means you have achieved some thing more than once like he is a good achiever at winning in video gams and sports.
The party his parents threw for him was in full swing. Friends and family mingled, sharing mutual pride and gratitude. Their back claps, hand shakes, and hugs were suffocating. He retreated quietly into the solitude of his bedroom where there were no plaques or trophies to measure his worth.
He has always an achiever, reaching for the stars in whatever he does. I always wished I could be like him but I can’t, because i’m me.

She fought hard. She won. It was the greatest moment of her life, and then she was gone, dead, perhaps. Gone.
He said my French Exits hurt his eyes.
Ghosting, that is what I do, I’m an invisible achiever of silent goodbyes.
She was an achiever, but as she tried to do what was right her thoughts got in the way.
I am not much of an achiever. In fact, I don’t think I’ve achieved anything noteworthy in my whole 18 years of existence. Strange. I guess when I was in 6th grade I got the Presidential Award for Academics, but that doesn’t really count, does it?

Snuggled up under a rug she waits. Quiet. Ready to pounce. Scorning the over-achiever. Knowing that words bleed from her veins easy when they are cut.
