"You'll always miss 100% of the chances you don't take" - Sometimes, it could be a blessing to behave as if we were animals. Ask me why.
Earlier this afternoon, as I sat on a boat sailing to a an island off the coast of Istanbul, nibbling on a pretzel. Knowing my tiny stomach, it was no surprise I had to share the rest of it with my fellow seagulls.
For a minute there, I giggled as I watched them fight over and AGAINST each other for that little piece of bread. It was only when my next-level-imagination took me further that I realized what kind of superhuman I could be if my actions were laid out in a parrarel manner.
We humans tend to give up only after a couple of shots we take. We lack the sense of greed seen in the picture. The greed we need to get ourselves to where we want to be.
Just like the seagulls, we all have goals. Goals may be realistic or sort of fictional. Whatever it may be, you'll only miss ALL the chances you don't take. I've seen most, if not, all of my friends whine and complain about not being where they want to be. I myself seem to have aced that course - procrastination 101.
Today, I am no longer wasting time dreaming. Instead, I'm still dreaming with dates as deadlines. That my friends, is my definition of a GOAL.
Sincerely,
Recently named co-author
