I. High Goal Orientation

As The Art of War states: "Aim high, and you may hit the middle; aim for the middle, and you may hit the low; aim for the low, and you are sure to fail." Confucius also said: "If you set your sights on the highest, you will achieve the middle; if you set your sights on the middle, you will achieve the low; if you set your sights on the low, you will achieve nothing." This means that if you strive for a high goal, you may still end up reaching only a medium level. However, if you only strive for a medium goal, you may end up at a low level.

II. Goal Deconstruction

Break down your main goal into smaller, achievable sub-goals. This makes the overall objective less daunting and provides a clear roadmap, allowing you to make progress step by step.

III. Passion as the Driving Force

Passion is the foundation of doing things well. When you are genuinely passionate about something, it provides intrinsic motivation, making the journey more enjoyable and sustainable, which helps you persevere through challenges.
