Popular quotes about Goal! Wisdom and inspiration are here! | page 42
Each one of us has some goal we want to reach, and we must work toward that goal one step at a time. You canโt reach toward that goal and expect it on the first try. All your small steps will bring you just a little closer. You must continue to work toward this goal. You may take a few steps back or be at a standstill, but you will be learning from each step. Through hard work, self-confidence and motivation, you will find ways to move ahead. You alone can help yourself to move ahead in life and gain personal satisfaction. You only get out of life what you put into it.

Hermann HesseI believe in goal-setting. I don't care what it is. If you want to drop 10 pounds, increase your bench press, jump higher, or win a Super Bowl, you have to set that goal for yourself before you go out and achieve it. I think you have to regulate it, and see how you're building toward it every single day. Am I getting closer to that ultimate goal? Am I doing everything I possibly can today to be successful? I'm always very cognitive of my goals.
Larry FitzgeraldPolitically, the goal of todayโs dominant trend is statism. Philosophically , the goal is the obliteration of reason; psychologically , it is the erosion of ambition.

Thinking men cannot be ruled; ambitious men do not stagnate.
Ayn RandSet a goal to achieve something that is so big, so exhilarating that it excites you and scares you at the same time.

Bob ProctorIt is important for you to have a goal. You simply can't get there if you don't know where you are going. Begin to build in your mind a dream. The write it down and make your goal realistic. Aim high enough that you will have to stretch your ability and your potential to reach it.

Greg LakeDespite wanting to work in publishing, I was a publisher's worst nightmare: I rarely bought new books. So my goal was to publish the kind of books I would buy, and read. My reading habits have changed since starting the press. The only other "goal", per say, is to continue to experiment. I don't want the press to ever fall into a formula, or to be pigeonholed - "They do great reissues of modernist poets!" - I want to keep pushing, exploring the kind of title we can get away with. And working with authors who challenge the way I think about writing, editing and reading.

Unless we create specific goals that match our purpose in life and unless we keep a clear vision of these goals, we may eventually falter and fail.

Look at it this way: The slower you run the distance, the easier it will be to show off by improving your time the next race!
