| COULD THIS BE YOUR NAMETAG? |
In today's society, it is common to meet people that put forth lackadaisical efforts to achieve any semblance of success in educational accomplishments or a professional career. It is refreshing for me when I stumble upon someone who tries to exceed expectations and/or achieves a goal with a standard of excellence. However in my experience across different industries and various cultures in corporate America, I have learned "Achievers" are not highly accepted.
Sometimes viewed as arrogant, achievers possess a self-starter, self-motivated mindset that does not require pep talks, detailed instructions, and micro-management. This is opposite of most people who require clear guidance, step-by-step directions, meetings, and encouragement.
Achievers, unlike most people, are not easily distracted from their purpose. If they get off track, it does not take long for them to regain focus and set new goals. Nonetheless, it takes some time for the average person to regroup mentally if there was ever a goal in mind.

Self-sufficiency bothers individuals, especially those who desire to feel needed. If there is nothing for them to contribute, their self-worth diminishes when achievers are around them.
Oftentimes, under-performers believe they are intentionally being embarrassed about what they did not accomplish. It is completely happenstance. The achiever has no ill intentions, in fact normally oblivious, because he is focused on the prize.
I speak from my own experience that we, the achievers, are here to accomplish goals individually or collectively and we are not trying to show off our abilities. There is no need to be alienated because our motto is simple - The moment you become complacent with mediocrity, you have erased the possibility of excellence.
