MONDAY THOUGHT 1/14/08

I know a man in his late 30s who can barely read and has no math skills. But I admire him because, last month, he set the bar impossibly high … at least for himself.  He plans to have his GED (high school graduate equivalency diploma) within two years.

Will he make it?  Beats me. But if he doesn’t try, he definitely won’t.  If he does try, he just might.

What do you want?  Are your dreams just wishy-washy wishes … or steely-eyed goals? Are you hopeful that a windfall will plop in your lap … or determined to climb the tree and pick the best fruit? It’s your call.  Set your goals, focus your efforts, refuse to give up … and enjoy the challenges; they’re all part of life. — jri
