GOALS
I like to think of a goal as a target. The bull’s eye is 100. Concentric rings are 80, 60, 40, and 20. I aim for 100, but sometimes I hit 80 or even 20. But if I don’t aim for 100, I will hit zero every time. Someone said, “I would rather attempt to do something great for God and fail, than to do nothing and succeed.” After Eisenhower won the Republican nomination for President from Robert Taft in 1952, a reporter asked Taft about his goals. He said, “my great goal was to become President of the United States in 1953.” The reporter smirked, “Well, you didn’t make it, did you?” He said, “No, but I became senator from Ohio!” By Mark Porter
