People with goals succeed because they know where they’ve going.

It takes no particular brains or talent to make a living and support a family. So we have this plateau of so-called “security”, if that’s what a person is looking for. But we have to decide how high above this plateau we want to aim. What’s your goal?

Have you ever wondered why so many people work so hard and honestly without ever achieving anything in particular, and others don’t seem to work hard, yet seem to get everything? They seem to have the magic touch. You’ve heard people say, “Everything he touches turns to gold.” And you noticed that a person who becomes successful tends to continue to become more successful—and , on the other hand , have you noticed how someone who’s a failure tends to continue to fail?

Well, it’s because of goals. People with goals succeed because they know where they’re going. It’s that’s simple.
