No, a goal is something you hope to do. Not expect to do - hope to do. I have a lot of goals that I don't know if I'll ever achieve and I won't be sad if I don't, I'll just be happy if I do.Quote:

What do you intend on doing in the future? Surely you must hope that your children grow up safely, for example.
None, I improvise as I go along in life.
Yeah, I do. I hope childeren grow up safe and sound. It is not a goal of mine - it is just something that I do. If they didn't it would be a dissapointment. I avoid goals, because they are just too closely related to failure to meet a deadline. I hope to do a lot with my life, but I purposely stray away from setting goals so that I can allow myself the freedom to not feel obligated to fufil them, should somthing else come up. I guess you could say I am no goalie. *slaps knee*

Just because I want to do something doesn't mean I'll be upset if I don't, though.
