ARE YOUR GOALS REALISTIC 2? We often fail to reach our destination of achievements because we become over optimistic in our capabilities. It is no error in dreaming beyond our capabilities but, even then, we must be realistic in our dreams. There are, sometimes, failures in our intentions and our strengths. If we realize our potentials, we can fix our goals. - may be a little higher than our capabilities permit. However, if we aim too high and fail to hit the target, we can become despondent, disillusioned and disappointed. This in turn, can sap our confidence, our efforts and our commitments. There are goals to be reached at every stage in Rotary. Goals of Membership growth, new clubs, new Rotaract/Interact Clubs. The Rotary Foundation collections, Fund collection for Club projects and such others. Every goal needs a good aim, a dedicated stance and full co-operation from all Club members. Co-operation can only come when the entire Club is behind the project. Thus, we need to involve as many Club members as possible and keep the membership involved. The crux of the matter is: Aim high but not too high. Work hard and try to enhance all inputs to ensure success. Finally, when the goals are achieved, give recognition to all the Rotarians who made this possible. A player who scores a goal in hockey or football is not the sole victor. Somebody must have passed the ball to him to score. That is the secret of sharing success. ASHOK MAHAJAN TRUSTEE THE ROTARY FOUNDATION (2009-13) DIRECTOR ROTARY INTERNATIONAL (2007-09)
