And how will I accomplish this? First I will set goals for the day, the week, the month, the year, and my life. Just as the rain must fall before the wheat will crack its shell and sprout, so must I have objectives before my life will crystallize. In setting my goals I will consider my best performance of the past and multiply it a hundredfold. This will be the standard by which I will live in the future. Never will I be of concern that my goals are too high for is it not better to aim my spear at the moon and strike only an eagle than to aim my spear at the eagle and strike only a rock? Today I will multiply my value a hundredfold.

Truly, many times have you heard me say that the rewards are great if one succeeds but the rewards are great only because so few succeed.

Many others face each obstacle in their path with fear and doubt and consider them as enemies when, in truth, these obstructions are friends and helpers.

Nunca me preocuparé de que mis metas sean demasiado elevadas, puesto que, ¿no es mejor acaso apuntar mi lanza a la luna y herir solamente a un águila que apuntar mi lanza al águila y pegarle solamente a una roca?
