Achievable goals OR aiming low

Restricted my self to bed because of fever and a very bad sore throat. Apart from completing Ringworld by Larry Niven (I am not reading the other 2) I was thinking that all I needed to fulfill my current dreams was just $5000, mind you I have a lot of dreams but the most of them are not expensive things. The second thought was heck this is a very easy target – 6 to 8 months? even less …

The chain of thought continued to my thinking that I just wasn’t dreaming big (delirious?!) BUT the rational part asserted my dreams dont really have a price tag. Those that do are very much affordable.

BUT then even things which dont have a price tag just fall into place – like for example having my name on the cover of a PHP book, I wished it and it just happened. In fact in this case the offer came the very next day – This was @ IT.com, Bangalore…

Whatever – call it aiming low to avoid disappointment OR setting achievable goals to avoid disappointment – it is working fine for now.
