Do not judge character by accomplishment. Sizing up a life using easily quantifiable things rarely tells the whole story.

Do you see a man in a high place? Do not admire him simply because of his achievements. For you do not know what he lost or who he sacrificed at the altar of his dreams. Do you see a man in a lowly place? Do not look down upon him simply because of his underachievement. For you do not what he gained or who he blessed by walking that path.
