The Great Achievement

By Happy Jubilant Shikundu

The great Achievement is a philosophical-motivation book. The book reflects on our daily basis experiences where we speak of dreams, set targets or what we aims to chieve. However, it also indicates that along the way, there are challenges. The book reveals the importance of carrying on with our dreams regardless of the given circumstances. After all, our dreams, successes and achieving what we want in life is bigger than our failures hence this book continues to encourage people to look at downfalls as an opportunity for second chances and realizing new ways of doing things and discovering what we might be capable of than what we think. Yet it does not hide that in every set goals there might always be obstacles. there could be loss of hope, there will be time where nothing seem to make sense, but that doesn't mean we should quit. Its also tells that winners are those who run their races to the end. It is my believe that what matters the most in everyone's life is reaching their dreams. After all, we all set great things ahead of our lives and that is what must drive us through our lives than our failures. It is also my knowledge that no matter how lovely, and great our dreams could be, reaching them might be challenging but quitting is never an option.

Preface

We all have what makes us happy and that which when we can achieve in life can complete us. My motive behind this book was because and mostly beyond any inspirations from other people, but rather a deeper interest in doing what I enjoy doing, which is expressing and sharing my understanding about life through writing. With that said, I cannot shy away from the fact that behind any success, there might be a helping hand or a second person.

Above all, I would like to take this moment and extend my gratitude to Mr. Simon Maluleke who showed an interest and believed in some of the work that I used to share with him, with the rough copy of this book included. Thanks to him for encouraging me to give myself time to explore and to unfold my wings and see if I could not fly. I believe it is through his inspiration that led to the success of this book, and I am grateful for that.

Expressing my thoughts in writing has always been part of my life. Luckily, I had Mr. Maluleke on my side who is an excellent storyteller. After showing him a draft of this book, he encouraged me to put a little effort into it and do something about it. Today I am sharing my understanding of life and its experiences with other people through this book because of him. I do have few friends who I have also shared my writings with, and their appreciation of my potential also played a huge role in the result of this book. I would also like to thank my entire family for believing in me. I am also grateful for the support and interest they showed in my potential.

I will not forget my parent’s love because it is through their guidance where great things unearth in our lives. My wife’s support on the success of this book cannot go unnoticed. She had to have restless nights as I used to wake up midnight and put together ideas that resulted in this book. To everyone who played a role in my life either direct or indirect, thank you so much. I trust that with this book, people’s lives are going to be touched and transformed into better.

This book is not only meant for me, or only fulfilling my desires of encouraging other, either way, it completes my wish of touching and motivating other people through the art of writing and in sharing ideas and guidelines on how we can go all the way to achieving our goals in life.

Review

This fiction booklet is an inspirational manual that takes us on a journey of the importance of persistence and always keeping our eyes on our set goals than challenges we might have to go through. For us to reach our destinies and our desired goals, one needs to scrutinize, to be inquisitive, to sacrifice, and to be focused. The writer recognizes challenges and failures and tips the audience to respond to them in a wise approach, that is, to take them as their experiences than reasons to give up on their dreams he believes that our dreams are bigger than our challenges.

The search for understanding and for truth leads to one’s stoppage to watching others do things – it leads to one’s getting into action – trying until one becomes perfect. One can reach his or her destination if one believes in himself and a little bit of luck. However, as it was said, luck is attracted by action. That self-confidence is like sowing a seed. What we sow is what we reap. Once we have harvested, we sit down and enjoy our sweat product. All successful people have worked hard, so the writer encourages his audience to work even harder.

Foreword

Basically, life revolves around the same incidents, but simply because times, days, and years are different and openly because we are different as human beings, we ought to encounter the same experiences but in a different way. In this book, we are going to look at the importance of facing our challenges and obstacles. Either way, this booklet is not going to surprise us by introducing new and unknown challenges. It is also not going to come with its own or new ways of facing challenges, but rather, it is important to look at the importance of facing our challenges knowing the importance of enduring and to keep carrying on because there is nothing bigger than what we are hoping to achieve.

This book is not that different from the subjects or courses that we do at school. For example, as Mr. Shikundu, I can be a mathematics teacher, and teach students how to solve for Z and X on a simultaneous equation, only to find that no one understands a thing. However, on a very same subject and same chapter, comes another teacher and uses different techniques of transmitting the knowledge to the learners and he yields good results or to finds that learners understand him better than me. At this note, I would say to all of us that, life’s circumstances do not really change, but the how and the when does change. In all that, the attitude we use to approach our challenges in life is the key difference to the results we may get. Hence, in this book, there are different ways to help us keep our heads up even when life could be throwing severe obstacles on us.

Relationships serves as a good example in showing that sometimes it takes a little understanding, sacrifice and compromise to conquer the challenges. However, that comes with love (in a relationship). A very simple definition of a relationship state that, a relation is the state in which two or more things in this case being people are connected, then this is said to be love. When we love someone, we are sometimes ought to change how we do things, we might also need to change how we are used to live our lives and those are sacrifices we make for love.

What does this mean in our lives’ daily encounters? This simply means that a good connection with things we believe in does not just come and fall like rain, but there are certain things that we have to do or rather, there are certain expectation of us if we have to make it happen. Then, if achieving our goals need or demands time sacrifices and compromising of other things, then let it be.

A simple but very important question is, are we ready? Because with readiness comes seeing beyond challenges,
