Keep yourself motivated. You've got to be motivated, you've got to wake up every day and understand what that day is about; you've got to have personal goals - short term goals, intermediate goals, and long term goals. Be flexible in getting to those goals, but if you do not have goals, you will not achieve them.

The thing that I learned early on is you really need to set goals in your life, both short-term and long-term, just like you do in business.

You have to believe in the long term plan you have but you need the short term goals to motivate and inspire you.
I think it's always good to have realistic short term goals and then lofty longer term goals.

How can we trace out the links between actions that people take today and really long-term outcomes for humanity - outcomes that stretch out indefinitely into the future?
