My 3 most substantial accomplishments & why

I've just stack ranked over 30 individual values as defined by Microsoft. The top 3 come in as: 1) Family Happiness/Friendship 2) Fame/Advancement and 3) Health. Loyalty, Individualism, Inner Harmony and Personal development narrowly miss out. Aligning my achievements with my values yields:

Family Happiness/Friendship: My family has been my eternal anchor. My mom is one of my best friends; my sister my best friend. There is nothing I can't tell unhesitatingly them. As a slightly dependant extrovert, once an unpopular nerdy Frasier-esque teenager, relationships are very important to me and I am very proud of my deep bonds with my family and friends. Every one of my close 6 friends I want to know 20 years from now. They are mentors to me in different ways, from their values to their corporate advice, but come Friday evening we paint the town red and give the cast of 'The Hangover' a run for their money. I didn't always know I was an extrovert and wasn't always very social; my ability to entertain and bond with people, even strangers, is one of my unborn traits that I'm proudest of! I've made no compromises in seeking out the perfect posse; the people in my life highly influence who I am and who I will be. I pride my ability to read people, their motivations and their values, and with these amazing people around me my life couldn't be any happier. I have the perfect support system in place! In my continued uncompromising desire for long-term perfection I need to add the perfect female companion to the mix within the next 5-10 years; this is a work in progress and will lead to, I believe, a completely perfect solution as far as that which lies within my control. Wish me luck!

Fame/Advancement: At the end of every day I ask myself: how have I been productive; what have I done to improve myself or the world? I want to make an impact, achieve impossible tasks and be recognized for them. Fortunately this is something that comes naturally to me. It wasn't always such smooth sailing. Academically I was always strong and believed destined for greatness. My first 2 years of corporate experience, at the tactical Amazon.com with management only interested in short-term wins I underachieved and questioned where I would go. However, the move to a broader role at Microsoft where I've successfully built a business from ground up and honed my interpersonal skills, including the ability to influence many without authority, has put me right where I want to be. I believe I have all the potential for achieving great things; the onus is on me to identify the right opportunities and make a difference to the world, both in the corporate world and subsequently in the non-profit space which is so perfectly aligned with the greater good of society.

Health: And lastly, none of this is sustainable without a healthy mind and body (which is elegantly aligned with cosmetic benefits). As a part of a family not blessed with metabolic powers and part of a society taught to gorge at mealtimes and avoid healthy pre-meal snacks that "ruin one's appetite", I enjoy a productive day during which I feel energetic, taut and empowered. Daily weights/cardio is the best stress buster. I attribute to my diligent workout routine two other gains: 1)the ability to successfully overcome a genetic predisposition to depression and anxiety through a regular influx of serotonin and 2) to act as a forcing function to master the skills of time management and rigorous prioritization: the ability to put things in context, evaluate the pros/cons of every problem in true Obama style. Only with this 2nd skill can one regularly make time for essential non-work hobbies such as this.

As the rapper T-Pain says: "On a mission to be, what I'm destined to be...I'm destined for greatness"
