Of all the thing you've done in your life so far, what are you most proud of, and why?

My Logistics college.

Not because of the achievement, but because of the two amazing years I had. In 2013 I started my classes at night and I meet some great people, learned a lot of new things that I will carry forever... It was a very, very happy part of my life. I still remember studying with my teachers and friends, the group reunions to make college work, getting back home late at night to watch speedruns,

And my group was one of the best of the class! Our presentations always got a lot of claps. The teacher was very proud of us.

It's not the achievement that matters to me. It's the journey to reach it.

I suppose I'm most proud of my daughter for who she is, and what she stands for. As for me, there's probably a few things I could pat myself on the back for but in reality, I think just being able to make it this many years without my mental-state completely taking me down is something to be proud of. It hasn't been very easy. In fact, it's mostly been like crawling through a trench alone during a war with one missing leg and five open wounds while the bullets whiz past my head constantly. But I'm still crawling. Still pushing toward that line.

I don't consider any one of these things achievements. But they are 2 of the things I'm most thankful for.

First, was when I was 12 years old. My little brother age 9 at the time got Aplastic Anemia. This was in the 80's. He was pretty far gone and was given a little less than 5% chance of survival with a bone marrow transplant. Despite the both of us having different blood types, my bone marrow was a match. They nuked his ass with radiation and chemotherapy. Then they drilled 3 holes into my pelvis bone on both sides and sucked out the marrow. The marrow kicked in faster than they had ever seen in that time period. Afterwards; they said with the amount radiation and chemicals they put him through, that he could end up with other cancers later and would never be able to have children. Almost 40 years later now, he has never had any type of major ailment and he has 2 daughters. He also has my blood type now.

2nd would be the birth of my son 25 years ago. He has become kind of distant recently, but hey, he's got to become his own man.

I guess finishing my college degree after almost dropping out. This college degree made it possible for me to move to Japan.

My daughter.

Nothing else I've done comes close to this.

Being a father is something that cannot be measured or compared honestly - at least for myself.

Mine comes down to kids too I guess, just not my own.

I'm autistic, so I don't think I will have my own kids as they'd very likely be autistic too and I don't think I'd be a good parent for a special needs child as I can barely look after myself some days.

I work as a teacher in a program for autistic children though, and seeing them grow up and become more confident and happy is probably what I'm most proud of.

For me, pride is mostly a fleeting feeling. There are probably some things I can think of and still feel some pride even after a long time, but the feeling fades. In fact, I think pride is fundamentally fairly incompatible with the way I think. I do my best, and I don't mean my utmost best, I mean the best I can realistically do in any given situation without having to stretch my limits, and it has served me very well so far. What matters in the end is how happy I am with the choices I've made, and it's that happiness that dominates and pushes pride to the side. I don't know if there's something I could do but haven't done yet that could make me feel more pride, but right now it seems unlikely.

I'm not particularly pride of anything, but I feel varying degrees of happiness about all the choices and achievements, if you'd call them such. Pride itself is a feeling I generally feel but for a short moment. It feels like something others might require of me sometimes, which feels really awkward to me, because pride is not a feeling of value to me personally.

As for the achievement I'm the happiest about, I don't think anything in particular stands out. If something was to stand out, it would mean I could probably achieve something comparable again, after which it would not stand out. If I couldn't, it would probably be more down to luck than me, so why would I feel particularly happy, let alone proud, of it? Of course I could feel happy about the outcome, but I feel like that's missing the point of this thread if I could not feel particularly happy about my part in the process as well.

I don't think I can think of an achievement I feel truly proud of. Maybe at one point I was proud of making two music albums and getting them released officially on most platforms, but now, not so much - I had plans for a lot more music but I've failed to keep going, so that project's been dead still for over 3 years now. Had motivation not dried up and I'd followed the plans I had, I'd probably be very proud of it currently, instead I'm only disappointed in myself for letting that happen.

Other than that, I really don't know. My life hasn't exactly been full of achievements. But maybe I should take some pride in that despite everything, I'm still going.

Getting two music albums officially released is an awesome achievement!

As is hanging in there when things are tough.
