If you want to achieve some really big and interesting goals, you have to learn to fall in love with hard work.
Steve Pavlina
I am not here as a public official, but as a citizen of a troubled world who finds hope in a growing consensus that the generally accepted goals of society are peace, freedom, human rights, environmental quality, the alleviation of suffering, and the rule of law.
James Earl Carter, Jr.
Goals help you channel your energy into action.
Les Brown
You can surmount the obstacles in your path if you are determined, courageous and hard-working. Never be fainthearted. Be resolute, but never bitter.... Permit no one to dissuade you from pursuing the goals you set for yourselves. Do not fear to pioneer, to venture down new paths of endeavor.
Ralph J. Bunche
A birthday is a time to reflect on the year gone by, but to also set your goals for the upcoming year.
Catherine Pulsifer
Discipline is the bridge between goals and accomplishment.
Jim Rohn
Your ability to negotiate, communicate, influence, and persuade others to do things is absolutely indispensable to everything you accomplish in life. The most effective men and women in every area are those who can quite competently organize the cooperation and assistance of other people toward the accomplishment of important goals and objectives.
Brian Tracy
The greater the loyalty of a group toward the group, the greater is the motivation among the members to achieve the goals of the group, and the greater the probability that the group will achieve its goals
Rensis Likert
Theories and goals of education don't matter a whit if you don't consider your students to be human beings
Lou Ann Walker
The purpose of medicine is to prevent significant disease, to decrease pain and to postpone death... Technology has to support these goals-if not, it may even be counterproductive.
Dr. Joel J. Nobel
The life of Zen begins, therefore, in a disillusion with the pursuit of goals which do not really exist the good without the bad, the gratification of a self which is no more than an idea, and the morrow which never comes.
Alan Watts
The secret to productive goal setting is in establishing clearly defined goals, writing them down and then focusing on them several times a day with words, pictures and emotions as if we've already achieved them.
Denis Waitley
Every day you spend drifting away from your goals is a waste not only of that day, but also of the additional day it takes to regain lost ground
Ralph Marston
Goals are a means to an end, not the ultimate purpose of our lives. They are simply a tool to concentrate our focus and move us in a direction. They only reason we really pursue goals is to cause ourselves to expand and grow. Achieving goals by themselves will never make us happy in the long term; its who you become, as you overcome the obstacles necessary to achieve your goals, that can give you the deepest and most long-lasting sense of fulfillment.
Anthony Robbins
Discipline is the bridge between goals and accomplishments.
Jim Rohn
