Setting goals is easy... planning isn't easy. That is
what I meant by "burden with disadvantages and limited resources".
It's because of all the planning and forseeable problems that could
possibly arise that makes one stop and think twice. Depending on
how big the problem is... it is capable of deminishing that drive
to work towards that goal.
Nope, i dun think setting a goal is easy. Some of us could not
achieve our goals because we are too unrealistic. Set a realistic
goal. Once you have a long term goal, think of all the short term
goals that you must achieve first before reaching that long term
one. This is the divide and conquer concept.
Planning a goal is more important than setting one. And believe me,
you can't plan it alone. You got to talk to many people. People who
are more experienced than you. Assimilate all their thoughts and
conjure something of your own. Something that suits you best.
Yes, you will face problems when executing your plans. Hence I
mentioned that the "world is dynamic, so you should not be static".
You must be ready to change your plans when the world is changing.
There is more than one way to Rome.
There are always uncertainties in our future. Nobody can avoid
that. But there are basically 2 things you can do about it :
a. Minimise the risk
b. Do not minimise the risk. Set a flexible plan and live with the
risk or even make use of the risk to your advantage (agility of
plan)
These are the 2 method most commonly used by companies all around
the world to tackle with uncertainties in the market.
It's a risk that one has to take... go for it despite all the
difficulties or take a step back and wait for better
opportunites.
Yes, there is always risk involved. Do take the risk. But when i
say "risk" i mean "calculated risk". Eliminate as much risk as
possible and analyse whatever that is left. Then decide if you can
take these risk.
when taking risk, one has to ask himself if he can face the
consequences of the worst situation. If he can, by all means, take
that risk. If not, back off.
