As you might have experienced, many of us during one stage of our lifes or another finds the need to set new goals. Like me for example - lately I found I haven't really had any significant achievements. My everyday life consists of waking up, going to work, coming back late, have dinner, surf the net and go to sleep. Sounds so ordinary does it? I know, it's completely different to when I was in uni doing full time work, full time / overloaded studies.
As I recall back to a typical uni day, I would at least have to learn one new chapter on Artificial Intelligence, finish off a tic tac toe game, or to prepare for an algorithm exam the next day. Where as at work, I do the same things day in day out, occasionally learning a few things if I'm lucky. I can just feel how slow I'm progressing...
Just like how Khalil Gibran described in his poem about work (http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/work-chapter-vii/):
"Life if darkness saved by urge...."
I have the urge to improve, I want to be better than others. And I know to be better than others will be more demanding, and means I can't just follow the crowd. Dad, Mum and Aunt has helped me half way, now I have to tile the other half for it to be complete.
To do that, I must have GOALS so as to know which direction to head in. Discipline to not deviate from the direction, Determination to keep moving towards the goal and Daringness to make it to the goal in shorter amounts of time.
