How about artistic vision?

Or is it impossible....since almost all types of accomplishment is so suffused with commerciality that activities such as poetry are even tainted with commerce/a price tag?

Art and science are great accomplishments
One of my favorite books is a true story about a guy who has sailed around the world a few times in a crappy little sailboat. He's seen many things, met many people, appreciated a multitude of cultures. He doesn't have much money at all, but he's a winner in my books.
