Why is it important to choose the right target?

Goals are the direction of life. What kind of goals you choose means what kind of living realm you will enter.

But goals are not desires. Goals are more specific and often set a time limit for themselves. It has the emotional factors of desire, and more importantly, it is up to oneself to make the decision and choose one's own goals. But when choosing a goal, you must choose it correctly. Choose a goal that is achievable and suitable for you. Otherwise, it is better to have no goals.

There is a joke:

Once upon a time, there was a man named Brown who had a dog named Jack. Brown works in a foreign company. Although he has a worry-free life, he always dreams that one day he can surpass his boss and become rich.

One day, Brown had an idea and said to Jack: "If I could teach you to fly like a sparrow, everyone in the world would be happy to pay me. By then, wouldn't we be rich?" !" Jack said happily. "Wait a minute, I can't fly! I'm a dog, not a sparrow!" Brown was very disappointed: "Your negative attitude is indeed a big problem. Everything must have a goal, there is no goal It won’t work. I have to give you lessons for a few days.”

So Brown gave Jack lessons every day after get off work, including courses on goal management, strategy formulation, and time management, but not on flying. Learned nothing.

On the first day of flight training, Brown was very excited, but Jack was very scared. Brown explained that the apartment they lived in had 15 floors. Jack would start from the first floor and jump out of the window, adding one floor every day, eventually reaching the 15th floor; and after each jump, Jack would It is necessary to sum up experience, find out the most effective flying skills, and then apply these to the next training. When he reaches the highest level, Jack learns to fly. Poor Jack asked Brown to consider his life, but Brown didn't listen at all: "This dog doesn't understand the meaning of dogs flying at all, and it can't see my great goal." Therefore, Brown did not hesitate. Open the first floor window and throw Jack out.

The next day, while preparing for the second training flight, Jack again begged Brown not to throw himself out. Brown took out a pocket-sized book "High Performance Goal Management" and explained to Jack: When you face a goal, you are always afraid of not being able to achieve it, so you will stop and forget the goal you set. Next, there was only a "pop" sound, and Jack was thrown out from the second floor again.

On the third day, Jack adjusted his strategy to procrastination. It requires delaying flight training until the most suitable climate conditions for flying are available. But Brown was already prepared for this. He took out a progress chart, pointed at it and said: "Now that we have a goal, we must get closer to the goal every day, right?" So this loyal dog knew that he would not jump today. It just means jumping twice tomorrow.

It cannot be said that Jack did not do his best. For example, on the fifth day, it added ailerons to its legs and tried to become a bird; on the sixth day, it put a red cloak around its neck and tried to turn itself into a "superman", but all this failed. It's all in vain.

By the seventh day, Jack had broken his legs and was deaf in his left ear. He no longer begged Brown for mercy. It just looked straight at Brown and said, "Master, I am a dog, not a sparrow. If you want to kill me, don't use this method!"

Brown pointed out: "The truth of life is The goal is to succeed through continuous efforts after setbacks. We cannot give up on our goals..."

"Shut up and open the window," the dog said calmly, and then he looked at the building. He jumped down to the next level. Poor Jack was crushed like a leaf.

Brown is extremely disappointed with Jack. The flight plan was a complete failure. Jack hadn't learned how to fly. It landed like a bag of sand dropped from a building, and it didn't heed Brown's advice: "Fly smart, don't land hard." Now, the only thing Brown can do is analyze the entire process and figure out what went wrong. After thinking carefully, Brown laughed: "Next time, I can just find a smart dog!"

Although this is a joke, it makes us understand a philosophy: success or failure does not matter. It depends on how grand your blueprint is, but on whether you have chosen the right goal.

If the goal is wrong, no matter how great and rigorous your goal is, it will be in vain.

Although everyone has their own unique way of making decisions. But unfortunately, many people think that their choice may not be the right one. This is natural, because people cannot predict the future, cannot see in advance how beneficial their choices will be, and are afraid that their wishes will not be fulfilled in the future.

But who can control the future? The most important thing is to seize the moment. As long as you feel you are right now, that's fine. What if it's the other way around? Change it right away!

So, when it comes to selecting goals, it is most advisable to make good use of existing resources. Believe that you can make appropriate adjustments as the situation changes; if you realize that your choice is wrong, give up as quickly as possible and give yourself a new choice.
