I think that the greatest achievement in life is simply being happy. I am not sure if there are specific "lengths" that you could go to achieve happiness; it is more a mental choice.
There are moral and legal boundaries that one could cross in a quest to experience further happiness. An example of crossing a legal boundary is the use of illegal substances. I would not cross that boundary because getting in trouble does not contribute to an overall positive outlook on life.
There is a plethora of moral boundaries one could cross to achieve happiness. You could exclude a person from a group activity to feel included, and many many other things which have been discussed during ADL assemblies and Health classes. Moral boundaries are tough because each person's "moral compass" is different and for most instances that moral boundaries are crossed there is 20/20 hindsight, which can lead to guilt. Being happy is an achievement because it requires constant adjustments.
