I believe that there are different types of achievements in life and as a teacher. A personal achievement for myself would be graduating from college. Another achievement would be to see your students improving at a skill that you were coaching them. An example would be teaching the skill of shooting a basketball correctly and the student making a shot. Another achievement could be receiving something like a coach of the year award where you are competing against other coaches.
The different achievements you describe each have unique characteristics. Achieving a personal goal vs. maybe achieving a goal of helping someone else achieve a goal vs. achieving a goal in the eyes of your peers. Each one has a different feel and a different sense of accomplishment.
