[color=green]Why are Goals Important?[/color]
On the best sunny day, the most
powerful magnifying glass will
not light paper if you keep
moving the glass. But if you focus
and hold it, the paper will light
up. That is the power of
concentration.
A man was traveling and
stopped at an intersection. He
asked an elderly man, "Where
does this road take me?" The
elderly person asked, "Where do
you want to go?" The man
replied, "I don't know." The
elderly person said, "Then take
any road. What difference does it
make?"
How true. When we don't
know where we are going, any
road will take us there.
Suppose you have all the
football eleven players,
enthusiastically ready to play the
game, all charged up, and then
someone took the goal post
away. What would happen to the
game? There is nothing left. How
do you keep score? How do you
know you have arrived?
Enthusiasm without
direction is like wildfire and
leads to frustration . Goals give a
sense of direction. Would you sit
in a train or a plane without
knowing where it was going?
The obvious answer is no. Then
why do people go through life
without having any goals?
