I just came across a very nice story. There was a generous old man in a light house. His responsibility was to lighten up the oil lamp so that the ships could arrive safely. In the mean time, two to three persons came to him and requested to have some oil for their use. Being generous he gave some of the oil away. Later when the ships arrived, the lamp went off due to the lack of oil. And many ships collided and lives were lost. So his very purpose was lost because he did not focus on his priorities.

Similarly many of the activities which may not lead to our ultimate goal in our life, suck out time and energy. So it is important to set goals and as you keep reading your goals, you won’t dissipate your energies. Remember that a magnifying lens when kept upon a paper and under the sun burns it by the power of focus. Today I typed out my life’s goals and printed it. I pasted the paper on the back of my room’s door.

My Life’s Goals:

1. To evolve as the Marketing Genius of 21st Century
2. To continue to have a balanced and exciting personal, social and work life.
3. To keep building business systems to retire young and retire rich, to create jobs and to serve people.
