‘Setting goals, aligning your schedule for realizing your goals, being the best in what you do, and striving to be amazingly successful to make a difference – many people think these are all boring stuff; they think these go-getters are very tedious, taking life very seriously; they think these go-getters are incompatible with being compassionate, socially conscious and a good person! Utter nonsense.
Setting goals makes one stay focused and promotes personal growth; Aligning the schedule shows they never betray themselves; And realizing a goal gives an immense sense of achievement; being the best in what you do gives the pleasure of personal satisfaction, a job well done; and being amazingly successful awakens joy, makes us feel that we have not walked the planet in vain. Of course, not everyone knows that these go-getters get goofy and play most of the time!
Settling for mediocrity has its own sad costs and success is not a dirty word!’
