'3 months..a quarter of a year..What have i achieved?'
I realised i left my previous blog(dated 28 Aug) uncompleted..unpublished..I forgot why this is so..but probably i got myself into a writer's dead-end..by asking 'What have i achieved?'
Since when have i set goals for myself?! Not since PSLE days when i set to 'achieve' 1 a-star(which i did)..next milestone was probably the 'O's..which i knew as early as before the leadup to the prelim exams that i had not put in enough efforts for the past year to achieve 'wat-my-maximum-potential-had-been-if-i-had-put-in-maximum-effort'
Come to think of it..why do people set targets to achieve? Goals like earning a million before 35 or even getting married before 35..buying a car before 35..Whether u can earn a million or not..it's something you can calculate - either you can or you can't(unlike your avenue includes striking the lottery)..getting married is another stupid goal..be it setting a timeline to get hitched or telling your partner let's get married in another 2 years..it just doesn't make sense to me..
Coming back to the question..Why? Why do people set targets? So you can be happy when you 'achieve' them? But you probably have an idea of your chances of achieving the targets in the first place..right? Ok, take it that you really achieve your goals..so you'll be happy..and then what's next? How long will this joy of achievement last? Set another goal? Worse..what if you don't achieve the goal? Sulk? 'Review' and then try again?
Maybe..just maybe..i really do believe that the process is more important than the end result(achievement) Which is why i'm always more concerned with 'what do i have to do if i want to achieve something?' Is it really worth the effort? But of cos, it could just boil down to the fact that i'm a super nuah person..
In any case..i've just failed to achieve my target of blogging about my head(injury)..see? Tat's why i don't set targets anymore..
p.s. wat a nonsensical post...think my brain still recovering from the shock..
