Having more than two goals is the same as having no goals. "Writing down more than two goals is equivalent to having no goals." This is the slogan of the famous American semiconductor company—Texas Instruments. This sentence is not only applicable to business operations but also holds great guidance for personal success. Dale Carnegie, after analyzing numerous cases of personal career failures, similarly concluded that one of the fundamental reasons for young people’s career failures is their scattered energy. In fact, this is true. Many failures in life have struggled across multiple industries. Although they mostly worked hard, if their efforts had been concentrated in one direction, the efforts they put in would have been enough to achieve great success.
Jerok was a new helper on a farm. When the farmer guided him, he said, "Look, you’re plowing crookedly. This way of plowing is not acceptable. Corn will grow very chaotically in these curved furrows. You should focus your eyes on something on the other side of the field and use it as your target, moving toward it. See, the cow next to the gate is right in front of us. Now, insert your plow into the ground and aim at it, and you’ll be able to plow a straight furrow." After listening to the farmer’s instructions, Jerok promised, "Alright, sir. I will do as you say."
Soon after, when the farmer returned, he saw that the furrows were even more crooked than before. The farmer angrily shouted at Jerok, "Stop! Stop, stand still! Look at how you’re plowing!"
"Oh, sir," Jerok said aggrievedly, "I’m absolutely following your instructions. I was walking straight toward that cow, but it kept moving."
If your goals are always moving, you’ll be exhausted running between different objectives. This is a purposeless, thoughtless, and very clumsy mechanical way of doing things. What could this way of doing things achieve besides failure and ridicule?
If we compare the achievements of two people, one is very smart but divides his energy among different fields and never knows what to do next, while the other has only one skill but focuses all his strength on an unwavering goal. Then we can conclude: the second person will achieve more. The great achievements that can be achieved through a focused purpose cannot be replaced by anything, including education, talent, intelligence, diligence, or willpower. A life without a focused goal is doomed to failure.
I once met a young man who had just graduated from a very famous school. He had high personal qualities, strong work ability, and the typical proactive spirit of his age. Many of his classmates and colleagues thought he was definitely a person with a bright future. But who could have imagined that ten years later, he was still an ordinary employee in an inconspicuous small company. He told me that over the past ten years, he had set many life goals, but none of them
