Goals

 - Do I really need goals? Are they a false notion of hope? - 

Goal: The purpose toward which an endeavor is directed; an objective

Meaning without goals there is no direction and no aim, purpose is fleeting or accidental. Like a ship at sea without a map or navigation, lost amidst the vastness of the ocean. Imagine being the captain of that ship, what do you feel? That feeling is not truth, not strength therefore we must adopt goals to arrive at truth and strength.  

To adopt & live the student creed:

  • Nobody can teach you as well as you can learn to teach yourself.

  • Being a good student means that you are learning, not just doing the work.

  • Not everything you are assigned or asked to do is equally important.

  • Making mistakes is the price you pay for real learning and growth.

  • The point of a question is to get you to think — not simply to answer it.

  • You’re in school to learn to think for yourself, not simply to repeat what the teachers or textbooks tell you.

  • You will not find all subjects interesting and fun, but being actively engaged in learning them is better than being passively bored and not learning them.

  • Few things in life are as potentially difficult, frustrating or frightening as genuine learning, yet nothing else can give you so many rewards and so much power.

To comprehend, cultivate,  & apply true strength - see definition of strength post

In summary, the long term overall goal of this blog is:


(what)        To continue in the ongoing struggle of seeking truth 
(how)          through the active process of learning 
(which)       in order to use the tool of strength 
(who)          to build upon oneself 
(why)          to accomplish constructive goals effectively and efficiently

the where is any, the when is now
