Do more of what works.

Missions is not the ultimate goal of the church. Worship is. Missions exists because worship doesn’t.

The goal of early childhood education should be to activate the child’s own natural desire to learn.

The goal of all life is death.

Paradoxical as it may seem, the purposeful life has no content, no point. It hurries on and on, and misses everything. Not hurrying, the purposeless life misses nothing, for it is only when there is no goal and no rush that the human senses are fully open to receive the world.

Our goal is to find an outstanding business at a sensible price, not a mediocre business at a bargain price.

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.

I’m not a big believer in long-term planning and far-off goals. In fact, I generally set 3-month and 6-month dreamlines. The variables change too much and in-the-future distance becomes an excuse for postponing action.

One should not pursue goals that are easily achieved. One must develop an instinct for what one can just barely achieve through one’s greatest efforts.

Happiness, wealth, and success are by-products of goal setting, they cannot be the goal themselves.
