Who You Meet May Surprise YouYou should always be able to find out what others think about your accomplishments and comments. The best way to do this is to have a conversation with the person who has spoken to you, no matter how brief it may be.The best way to accomplish this is to get a journal or notebook, take down the accomplishments and add a date, and then record the comments of the person who talked to you. Many people find it is more effective to put an asterisk next to their comment and write a short description of the accomplishment and comment. That will make it easier to remember what the comment was. Just keep the comments to a minimum, no need to name-drop.Here's a great trick to discover accomplishments. Go to a local library and browse through a book that has an index. Most of these books have columns on the front that are supposed to list the author and the year the book was published. Most, if not all, will list the author and the year in which the book was publishe d as well.On the right page, look for the column titled: 'Academic Achievement' and see if any of the accomplishments are there. If so, chances are good that some of the accomplishments are from you, even if they didn't say so in the person's initial email.Another method to uncover your accomplishments is to ask someone who has met you ask them what their thoughts are about your accomplishments. This method works best when you start a conversation when you meet the person. It is also recommended that you only use this method when they are familiar with you. Using this method you can find out what other people think about your accomplishments.Another great place to find achievements is online. Most websites will allow you to search by achievements. This allows you to find any achievement that someone else may have gotten involved with and talk about it with someone else.Another good thing about doing this is that you can share your accomplishments with others. You can find out about what others think of your accomplishments as well as if you can help anyone else. If you can't then the world of public service will come into play.These are just a few places to find your own accomplishments. Whatever avenue you decide to go with, make sure you know what your accomplishments are, that way you can begin to achieve what you desire.
