The quest for success always begins with a target. As baseball Hall of Famer Yogi Berra once said, "You got to be very careful if you don’t know where you’re going, because you might not get there."
Too many people wander through life sleepwalkers. Each day they follow familiar routines, never asking, "What am I doing with my life" And they don’t know what they’re doing because they lack goals.
Goal-setting is a focusing of the will to move in a certain direction. Begin with a clear conception of what you want. Write down your goals and date them—putting them into words clarifies them. Rather than concentrating on objects to acquire and possess, focus on fulfilling your desires to do, to produce, to contribute—goal-setting yields the true sense of satisfaction we all need.

My father was 17 when he left the farm in Cameron, N. C, and set off for Baltimore to apply for a job at the Martin Aircraft Company. When asked what he wanted to do, he said, "Everything."
Whenever he went to a new department, he looked for the guys who had been around forever. These were the people novices usually avoided, afraid that next to them they’d look like the beginners they were.
Whatever your goals, plan to network with those who know more than you. Model your efforts on theirs, adjusting and improving as you go.

The biggest difference between people who succeed and those who don’t is not usually talent but persistence. Many brilliant people give up. Who wants to run the risk of getting knocked down again and again But highly successful people don’t quit. It’s often been said that they are just individuals who got up one more time than they fell down.

Without a deep commitment it is difficult to pursue a dream. Great success requires risk whether financial, social or physical. Always, emotional risk is involved. We can’t play safe if we want to win in life.

Reread your list of goals now and then. If you decide one should be adjusted or replaced with a better one, make corrections. And when you have achieved your goal or made a big step toward it, celebrate. It can be anything you enjoy--to mark the moment and rekindle the vision.
But it shouldn’t end there. After a goal is reached many people ease up. That’s why it’s possible for this year’s top sales agent to become next year’s has-been.
If life is leaving you out in the cold, do something about it. Turn up the heat. Strive. It’s worth it.

About 1815, when many Americans from the east coast had already moved to the west. trade routes from the ports to the central regions of the country began to be a serious problem, The slow wagons of that time. drawn by horses or oxen, were too expensive for moving heavy freight very far. Americans had long admired Europe’s canals. In New York State a canal seemed the best solution to the transportation problem From the eastern end of Lake Erie all the way across the state to the Hudson River there is a long trip of low land Here the Erie Canal was constructed. After working for several years it was completed in 1825.
The canal produced an immediate effect. Freight costs were cut to about one-tenth of what they had been. New York City, which had been smaller than Philadelphia and Boston, quickly became the leading city of the coast. In later years, transportation routes on the Great Lakes were joined to routes on the Mississippi River. Then New York City became the end point of a great inland shipping system that emended from the Atlantic Ocean far up to the western branches of the Mississippi.
The new railroads made canal shipping not as important as before, but it tied New York even more closely to the central regions of the country. It was easier for people in the central states to ship their goods to New York for export overseas.
Exports from New York were greater than imports. Consequently, shipping companies were eager to fill their ships with passengers on the return trip from Europe. Passengers could come from Europe very cheaply as a result.
