Why not pursue your goals? What is there to lose?

[Findesemana]

Part of living really is progress....well at least in terms of getting what one wants out of life.

I posted this because the Mahatma was a great man, and this is IMHO one of his best quotes. Nothing happens in life....EVER...without some initiative and action.

My major life goal at the moment is to get standard knowledge.....it's what the masses have, so can I. it's the key to life and dates for me....

I believe this strongly also.... I know I can get the standard knowledge all others got, but then I reckon if we want things in life, we can:

- Itemise what we want

Write down a list of what we want/need. My example is standard knowledge, but I will use another example, let's say buying a car. One can highlight one's car needs, colour, make, model, etc. for me, it's to know when people got knowledge, and from whom.

- Determine how to get it

For me, it's about getting it by seeing who denied me knowledge. And who took time to not provide it to me. For getting a car, it's about spending time to read papers, go online, speak to friends/family, etc. about this. This also includes how to get one's target.

- Measure and repeat

If the plan isn't being met, then measure and then repeat, until one reaches the goal. If one doesn't have means to get a car, then save money. If one doesn't have the proper licence, then get it. for me, I'm on the path to my goal of standard knowledge, and i intend to get it in the next few months.

- When the goal is accomplished, celebrate!!!

You've put in a lot of hardwork, so it's time lay back and enjoys the fruits of one's labours!!

@Findesemana "Measure and repeat" is very important. If you aren't measuring something it is almost impossible to change something and make it better. Thanks for sharing this, they are all very good points.
