Her virtue was that she said what she thought, her vice that what she thought didn’t amount to much. – Peter Ustinov

Many self help books and psychologists speak about being more assertive. These people learn to speak up for themselves and to ask for what they want.

All good things, of course. Except when what they thought “didn’t amount to much”.

I liked this quote because it illustrates an important part of goal setting and goal achievement.

We need to be mature enough to think about and set goals towards worthy ideals. Instead of thinking about “getting” we should think about “becoming”.

Let’s make sure the direction we are heading does amount to much.

Make it a great day.
