I think that it depends on the intended listener. If you’re dealing with someone with unrealistic pipe dreams and a bad attitude toward criticism, it’s some of the best advice you could give (even though it may very well fall on deaf ears). If you’re dealing with someone who struggles with mediocrity and has a self-defeatist attitude, you could be doing more harm than good in phrasing your advice this way.
Gauge the character of the person you are giving this advice to, and modify it accordingly. Personally, I would have phrased it, “fight like hell to see a good idea through to the end”.

I am over weight, I want to lose weight, fat, and inches, and I think set a measurable goal for a healthier lifestyle would make this eaiser. The issue is that I am a big girl, I have substantial thighs (some due to fat, some due to big thigh muscles. Ive always had thick thighs from being a swimmer) I have BIG boobs (38DD) I have broad shoulders, I have hips, big hands big feet (11) I am not big boned, I am an amazon; simply large. I have very good blood pressure and pulse rate (especially for someone at my BMI), and I don’t eat too badly. How should I set a goal that takes into account my large size, I’m over weight, but the BMI calculator says I’m very close to grossly obese, I don’t look like a severely overweight person. I don’t think losing 60lbs is a reasonable goal. I am 5′ 8″ 242 lb.
This is not a question of HOW to lose weight, Ive started a decent exercise regimen, and I’m eating better and less. And I’m not on a diet, I’m just more conscientious of my lifestyle. I have begun to see signifigant results (I was 150 less a month ago)
How should a come up with a goal?

Life is so hard, to try and fit in, to hold a study job, have an income, paying of debt, family, property, the odd holiday, to have friends, meet people and have a social life. All that sounds a lot for just one person to handle alone, i have missed a few out but thats up to you to figure out. What is your life about, and what do you need in order to feel happy?
But i have another question for you, why do we set un realistic goals?
When we don’t reach our goal/s we loose part of our coping mechicanism. In long term cases this can become unhealthy and can lead to stress and depression. Therefore life will seem unbearable and unmanageable.
I could be wrong, it may just work out right. ,Life is like a dice, don’t you think!

I work as a developer for a company, and as part of a new performance quality system they are implementing, they have us choose the goals we will achieve during the coming year. They prefer them to be explicit, and concrete – something that can be measured, or verified. I have a few, including taking a course on SAS, and continuing to support apps I have created, as well as develop ad hoc reports as requested. Do you have any ideas for some others? I greatly appreciate any input you may have. Thanks….
