OUR ACHIEVEMENTS OFTEN INDICATE THE CENTRAL FOCUS OF OUR LIVES.

The tower of Babel was a great human achievement, a wonder of the world. But it was a monument to the people themselves rather than to God. We often build monuments to ourselves (expensive clothes, big houses, fancy cars, important jobs) to call attention to our achievements. These may not be wrong in themselves, but when we use them to give us identity and self-worth, they take God’s place in our lives. We are free to develop in many areas, but we are not free to think we have replaced God. What “towers” are in your life?

PERSONAL ACHIEVEMENTS DO NOT DIMINISH OUR DEPENDENCE ON GOD.

Samson was physically and emotionally exhausted. After a great personal victory, his attitude declined quickly into self-pity-"Must I now die of thirst?” Emotionally, we are most vulnerable after a great effort or when faced with real physical needs. Severe depression often follows great achievements, so don’t be surprised if you feel drained after a personal victory.

EVEN OUR ACHIEVEMENTS SHOULD REMIND US TO BE THANKFUL TO GOD.

During times of vulnerability, avoid the temptation of thinking that God owes you for your efforts. It was his strength that gave you victory. Concentrate on keeping your attitudes, actions, and words focused on God instead of yourself.

 ACHIEVEMENTS DO NOT CHANGE OUR POSITION WITH GOD.

James and John wanted the highest positions in Jesus’ kingdom. But Jesus told them that true greatness comes in serving others. Peter, one of the disciples who heard this message, expands the thought in

1 Peter 5:1-4.

Most businesses, organizations, and institutions measure greatness by high personal achievement. In Christ’s kingdom, however, service is the way to get ahead. The desire to be on top will hinder, not help. Rather than seeking to have your needs met, look for ways you can minister to the needs of others.

OUR BEST ACHIEVEMENTS ARE EFFORTS AT THANKING GOD FOR WHAT HE HAS DONE.

Most religions prescribe specific duties that must be performed to make a person acceptable to God. Christianity is unique in teaching that the good works we do will not make us right with God. No amount of human achievement or progress in personal development will close the gap between God’s moral perfection and our imperfect daily performance. Good deeds are important, but they will not earn us eternal life. We are saved only by trusting in what God has done for us

(see Ephesians 2:8-10 in the Bible)

Yes.Created cannot match nor can surpass the Creator.
We need to keep in mind that we are like chaff in the fields,..when a wind blows we are gone.
To keep ourselves humble before God and honest  in our daily life is achievement

Thanks for the refferal.
Mr.Raghuvanshi, True, the pivotal mistake mankind does is not able to define realism and religion. 
In Hinduism: Karma is the beginning of Knowledge. Next is Patience. Patience is very important. The strong are the patient ones. Coz patience teaches, holding back U’re inclination to seven emotions or the sins as talked in bible:
Hate, adoration, joy, anxiety, anger, grief, fear. Then you’ll soon know all manner of things and be in eternity.
