Quote by Zig Ziglar

Famous archer, Howard Hill won all of the 267 archery contests he entered. He could hit a bullseye at 50 feet, then split first arrow with the second. Would it be possible for you to shoot better than him? YES, if he were blindfolded! How can you hit a target you can't see? Even worse, how can you hit a target you don't even have!? You need to have GOALS in your life!

Summary

This quote emphasizes the importance of setting goals in life. Using the example of the famous archer Howard Hill, it suggests that even though he was a skilled marksman, anyone could surpass him in shooting accuracy if he were blindfolded because they would have a target to aim for. Similarly, the quote implies that in one's own life, having goals is crucial. Without clear objectives, it becomes difficult, if not impossible, to achieve success or fulfill one's potential. Thus, the quote serves as a reminder to have goals and targets in order to direct and motivate oneself towards growth and achievement.

So-called austerity, the stoic injunction, is the path towards universal destruction. It is the old, the fatal, competitive path. Pull in your belt is a slogan closely related to gird up your loins, or the guns-butter metaphor.

You may burn my body to ashes, and scatter them to the winds of heaven; you may drag my soul down to the regions of darkness and despair to be tormented forever; but you will never get me to support a measure which I believe to be wrong, although by doing so I may accomplish that which I believe to be right.
