“Always strive to aim for the highest peak of the goals in life you have set, this way if you manage to reach even half way toward a goal, landing in the middle is not such a bad place to end up.”
“It is a paradoxical but profoundly true and important principle of life that the most likely way to reach a goal is to be aiming not at that goal itself but at some more ambitious goal beyond it.”
“The end goal of all of this striving is to live joyfully, and that there are often more direct ways of achieving this than conforming to rigid standards set by social custom.”
“In the measurement world, you set a goal and strive for it. In the universe of possibility, you set the context and let life unfold.”
“Better to have a big goal and reach half of it than to have no goal and reach all of it.”
“Always set your goals higher than you could ever possibly reach. That way, when you barely fall short, you're still better than everybody else.”
