Goal Quotes
-
Each of is an arm of Kannon, enabling Kannon to do her work. Like her, we're also overwhelmed, but when we reallize that the millions of pieces are all operating as one, then there's no problem. The reason we get overwhelmed is that we're attached to a certain result or taht we want to achieve a certain result or that we to achieve a certain goal. If we weren't attached we wouldn't be overwhelmed. It's endless. And we just take one step after the next.
Bernie Glassman

What is important is that complex systems, richly cross-connected internally, have complex behaviours, and that these behaviours can be goal-seeking in complex patterns.
William Ross Ashby
-
Eddie played good but with the position we were in there was no excuse for us not to have two points at the end of it. It was a bad result, to give up a short-handed goal and to not score on a 5-on-3.
Brian Leetch

Intelligence plus character-that is the goal of true education.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
-
Science is but a perversion of itself
unless it has as its ultimate goal
the betterment of humanity.
Nikola Tesla

I can't believe it. To lose (a race) that close, I don't what to feel, to be honest right now. Should I be happy? Should I be sad? I don't know. It's a weird feeling to finish second in this kind of situation, so close. We got ourselves back a little bit into the championship, and moved up into fifth. Let's keep moving. We gave it all we had, but we just couldn't push ahead on the final lap. Being realistic, Dan (Wheldon) is probably going to win the championship, but it would be a great goal to have two Marlboro Team Penske cars finish in the top five in points.
Helio Castroneves
-
He handles it well, but to give him a five-goal cushion, I'm sure he appreciates the effort from the boys.
Bob Hartley
-
Don't talk too much, be focused on the goal and achieve it.
Andreas Nikolaus "Niki" Lauda
-
The league is sending a clear-cut message: We want a great brand of hockey, we want it to be exciting. I think we've reached that goal so far in the season and incidents where there will be an intent to injure or there will be an injury, there will be a price to play.
Bob Hartley
-
The goal isn’t to make something everyone will love; the goal is to get excited, and make a thing where something wasn’t before.
Wil Wheaton
-
Let us have compassion for those under chastisement. Alas, who are we ourselves? Who am I and who are you? Whence do we come and is it quite certain that we did nothing before we were born? This earth is not without some resemblance to a gaol. Who knows but that man is a victim of divine justice? Look closely at life. It is so constituted that one senses punishment everywhere.
Victor Hugo
-
Lacking an external focus, the mind turns inward on itself and creates problems to solve, even if the problems are undefined or unimportant. If you find a focus, an ambitious goal that seems impossible and forces you to grow, these doubts disappear.
Tim Ferriss
-
To efficiently produce quality products sounds like a good goal. But can that goal keep the plant working? I’m bothered by some of the examples that come to mind. If the goal is to produce a quality product efficiently, then how come Volkswagen isn’t still making Bugs?
Eliyahu M. Goldratt
-
The goal is to learn to be nurturing with yourself so you can feel free.
Deborah Day
-
We have all learned everything we know physically—from walking to running a marathon—by trial and error, so there's no reason to become our own worst enemies when we suffer a setback. From time to time everyone falls short of their goals. It's an illusion to believe that champions succeed because they do everything perfectly. You can be certain that every archer who hits the bull's-eye has also missed the bull's-eye a thousand times while learning the skill.
Amby Burfoot

I actually recommend as little actual counting as possible in a life partnership. But, when there's a sense of injustice brewing between you, some counting is inevitable, and so my advice is to count using as broad a scope as possible. It's not just hours worked or chores done, either, and it's not even just about the household - it's a system of Whole Marriage Thinking. It's about hours worked, chores done, goals supported, emotional needs met, everything. What it all takes out of you, what it all gives back. It all factors in.
