Progress may not seem as it sounds for everyone neither may it be loud... As the progression of music is not dependent on how loud it is, but how well it follows a note to achieve a melodious and harmonious rhythmic sound. Loudness of music can lead to noise.

Your progress must not be measured by the activities for which the World has reckoned success with. It may just be a growth from who you were yesterday to who you are now. If there's is clear and positive difference, then, that my friend is progress! You do not have to allow the world's standard and the activities of those around you to define your progress, in as much as you keep moving forward with those little steps.
