Fiddle sticks!!!
Methinks the goal nonsense was fabricated be the American business machine - another opium for the masses maybe?
I could be wrong?

Goal setting when properly done is a great force to use. But most do not understand how to use it. The same with positive thinking......people are missing a great tool because of their lack of understanding its application. Things in life make money being built up or torn down. Such great tools for life are being torn down and replaced by more modern sounding methods made only for the purpose of selling with no intent of changing lives.Methinks the goal nonsense was fabricated be the American business machine - another opium for the masses maybe?

Most people live by unintentional goals anyway. Their desires are goals undefined and most of the time unfullfilled do to lack of planning and time limiting.....only driven by desire for a random something.

"If you really want to hear about it, the first thing you'll probably want to know is where I was born and what my lousy childhood was like, and how my parents were occupied and all before they had me, and all that David Copperfield kind of crap, but I don't feel like going into it, if you want to know the truth."

"You know that song 'If a body catch a body comin' through the rye'? I'd like--"
"It's 'If a body meet a body coming through the rye'!" old Phoebe said. "It's a poem. By Robert Burns."
"I know it's a poem by Robert Burns."
She was right, though. It is "If a body meet a body coming through the rye." I didn't know it then, though.
"I thought it was 'If a body catch a body,'" I said. "Anyway, I keep picturing all these little kids playing some game in this big field of rye and all. Thousands of little kids, and nobody's around--nobody big, I mean--except me. And I'm standing on the edge of some crazy cliff. What I have to do, I have to catch everybody if they start to go over the cliff--I mean if they're running and they don't look where they're going I have to come out from somewhere and catch them. That's all I'd do all day. I'd just be the catcher in the rye and all. I know it's crazy, but that's the only thing I'd really like to be. I know it's crazy." --The Catcher In the Rye by J. D. Salinger

Don't you love this one?
"Old Selma Thurmer - she was the headmaster's daughter - showed up at the games quite often, but she wasn't exactly the type that drove you mad with desire. She was a pretty nice girl, though. I sat next to her once in the bus from Agerstown and we sort of struck up a conversation. I liked her. She had a big nose and her nails were all bitten down and bleedy-looking and she had on those damn falsies that point all over the place, but you felt sort of sorry for her. What I liked about her, she didn't give you a lot of horse manure about what a great guy her father was. She probably knew what a phony slob he was."
