CHAPTER 7
GOAL-SETTING
Setting & Achieving your goals
Knowledge helps you to reach your destination provided you know what the destination
is.
An ancient Indian sage was teaching his disciples the art of archery. He put a wooden
bird as the target and asked them to aim at the eye of the bird. The first disciple was
asked to describe what he saw. He said, "I see the trees, the branches, the leaves, the
sky, the bird and its eye.."
The sage asked this disciple to wait. Then he asked the second disciple the same
question and he replied, "I only see the eye of the bird." The sage said, "Very good, then
shoot." The arrow went straight and hit the eye of the bird.
What is the moral of the story? Unless we focus, we cannot achieve our goal. It is hard to
focus and concentrate, but it is a skill that can be learned.
On the journey to life's highway, keep your eyes upon the
goal. Focus on the donut, not upon the hole.
