LIVE OR DIE - ABOUT GOAL SETTING

I wanted to keep post in this blog to stay within the scope of our class. But I watched something that was really meaningful and at the same time made me laughed off my chair... well, maybe not to you guys, anyway, here it goes...

I was watching this program on Discovery, the program talks about two guys who survived in a jungle of 17 days for one and 20 days for another. There was also another forest survivor expert who gave tips here and there about things to do and not to do.

He was recounting another survivor story of a man who survived in a desert for like 20 days or so. When rescued that man was asked about what he did to keep alive. The expert thought he was making all the wrong moves, such as moved in the day, drank his own urine and so on, and continue to say that when asked what was his motivation to really persist, that man said that he was filing a divorce and he didn't want to die at that moment so that his wife would get all his asset! Period. I just found this extremely funny and kept laughing, while in my mind I began to get the point. Nothing else count. Motivation, or Goal, is what keep us on course.

Probably too common and mundane to repeat this kind of stuff, but nonetheless the basic lesson, an important one indeed.
