I would like to be remembered as a guy who had a set of priorities, and was willing to live by those priorities. In terms of accomplishments, my BIGGEST ACCOMPLISHMENT is that I KEPT the country safe AMIDST a real danger.

My biggest ACCOMPLISHMENT has been MAKING a transition from ATHLETE to AUTHOR.

My MOTHER and FATHER didn't treat my BROTHERS and sisters the same, so to treat 12 PLAYERS exactly the same, that's a great accomplishment.

In the BIG picture, few of our careers LIVE up to the DREAMS we nursed when we were YOUNG. In fact, one underside of success is that it's nearly always penultimate, and so EVERY accomplishment merely raises the bar.

2013 was a year of great accomplishment for DUKE: our first full year as a combined COMPANY.

I don't have any FEELING of accomplishment about ANYTHING unless there's a LOT of RISK to it.

In Japan, mothers insist on achievement and accomplishment as a SIGN of love and respect. Thus to FAIL places children in a HIGHLY shamed situation.

I think I usually play the woman that, after the person TRIES to GO for some extraordinary feat of ROMANTIC ACCOMPLISHMENT, they happily wind up with me.

Part of me believes that the completed record is the final measure of a pop MUSICIAN's ACCOMPLISHMENT, just as the completed film is the final measure of a film artist's ACCOMPLISHMENTS.

Carole King's SECOND ALBUM, 'Tapestry,' has fulfilled the promise of her first and confirmed the fact that she is one of the most creative figures in all of pop music. It is an album of surpassing personal-intimacy and musical ACCOMPLISHMENT and a WORK infused with a sense of ARTISTIC purpose. It is also easy to listen to and easy to enjoy.

Simply as an exercise in efficient politics, Obama '08 rewrote the textbook. His ACCOMPLISHMENT was historic and one that transformed how race and politics intersect in our society. Obama is the leading edge of this CHANGE, but his success is merely the RIPPLE in a POND that grows DEEPER every day.

Being acknowledged for your work is ALWAYS a GREAT accomplishment, whether it's people in my CITY, KIDS in the street, all the way up to the Grammys.

I like to have a SENSE of ACCOMPLISHMENT through work. I'm busy golfing and attending activities, but I think of holding a meeting as playing golf. I think my approach is very good. I don't feel I lose a lot of fun things in LIFE EVEN though I am busy all day.
