The pursuit of goalS, without the proper understandings and counter-balances, is purely reckless.
This article does a great job explaining why!
“In some ways both Santa Clause and The Secret have done us a disservice. Both focused on wishing something would happen and either through the process of writing it down and/or visualization, it is supposed to magically appear. Many management and self-help gurus cite research, reportedly done at Harvard or Yale universities, which describes why only 3% of Harvard MBAs make 10 times as much money as the other 97%–because they write down their goals. The problem with this claim is that no such research study exists.”
WELL DONE RAY B. WILLIAMS!
