How it's used
This idiom carries a heavy, formal tone and is often used with a sense of historical gravity or grandiosity. It is rarely used in casual daily conversation unless the speaker is being deliberately sarcastic or hyperbolic to mock someone's self-importance.
Examples
He has made many remarkable achievements in his life.
Who can actually name any of his great contributions?

Common phrases
to build up remarkable achievements
Common mistake
Learners often mistakenly use this to describe small personal successes or daily tasks, which sounds unnatural and overly dramatic. It is reserved for significant, long-lasting impacts or historical legacies.
