To have an objective in life for the sole purpose of achieving the objective is akin to an infant in a baby-cot trying to reach for the mobile. While many of the objectives in life is set to give one a direction in life, if the objective is in itself impractical and serves no purpose, then why go through all the trouble to set it in the first place?
Why indeed? When u set objectives u set it in the context of today, which is changing even as u are trying to reach out and appreciate the situation. Thus odjectives will have no bearing on the outcome of the situation, plan as u might with the objective in mind and reality will have a mind of its own, toying with u, playing with ur intention, messing up ur painstaking planning. The irony of it all. Objective serves the sole purpose of reminding u of the pain of failure, the fatigue of running a marathon and realizing that all that awaits u is a vast barren land, strtching towards the horizon.
But yet everyday more and more resources are spend to set more and more objectives, more money to be made this year, more and more things to buy, ever more to do and so on. With so much different things to do, it can be argued that perhaps a certain objective will help to pin us in reality and guide us in what we are doing. However, quite on the contary, all that happens its we are forced to work harder than we can if the objectives is set too high or slack off if its too low. There is no such thing as a 'correct-level' objective, for the simple reason that the workplace is more and more dynamic and u will be limited by factors u cannot control.
Thus stop disturbing that mobile and grow up! Forget about the objectives. Throw them into bin, and just do ur best in the situation u are in. Remove the red lights from the highway, and speed off pass the speed camera.
