: : : : : what does this mean..."if you aim at nothing, you will hit it"?

: : : : If you don't strive or try for a goal, you'll achieve nothing.

: : : A related saying that I've heard is "He aimed low and missed", meaning that he set himself a goal that was much too easy and failed to achieve even that low standard. Pamela

: : Douglas Adams' said that anyone can fly. Just throw yourself at the ground and miss.

: DELUSION -- There is no greater joy than soaring high on the wings of your dreams, except maybe the joy of watching a dreamer who has nowhere to land but in the ocean of reality.

Mind you, there's nothing as funny as the real motivational posters - one that used to hang in an exworkplace of mine was "For every action there is a purpose". Pamela
