I think you are right. Reaching a goal is not a matter how long you take, but that you take it. There is a chinese proverb: ‘Also a journey of thousend miles starts with just a step.’
Nevertheless there are times where you have to intensify your effort.
I believe in these times you have to be aware that reaching goals has times of asceticism. You just earn this goal if you give all at the right time in the right time range. After that if you didn’t earn it, it’s not sad, because you can say, you have all given and at the next time under other circumstances it will be yours.

I think it depends on what kind of goal it is. I ones tried to learn plying Guitar. I tried for many years. But at last a got to realize it wasn’t my thing. I gave up. But there are goals to be reached regardless of the number of mistakes we make. Well… The life may hurt. But if it hurts, it goes on…

You wrote a blog for me?!! *feels special* *grins* The thing is, when you’ve hoped and dreamed and tried and tried and thought and tried some more, and still fail, there is a tendancy to get depressed and unmotivated… and then if you DO get the oomph together to try again, and fail again, then it’s even harder to try yet again.. I know you learn a lot from failure, perhaps more than from success, but it still hurts…
