7. Goals
Setting the path to your goals
Alice in Wonderland example
Alice comes to a fork in the road and doesn’t know which way to proceed.
She sees the Cheshire Cat and asks:
“Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?”
“That depends a good deal on where you want to get to, ‘ said the Cat.
“ I don’t much care where…” said Alice
“ Then it doesn’t matter which way you go, “ said the Cat.
“…so long as I get SOMEWHERE, “ Alice added
“ Oh, you’re sure to do that, “ said the Cat
(Alice in Wonderland, Lewis Carrol, 1866)
The excerpt illustrates the importance of setting clear goals.
