I think it is. Goals are a destination. Strategy is the road that leads to your destination. Put another way, this quote is saying, "If you don't have goals, your strategy can be anything and you'll succeed at reaching your non-goals."
Thus you need goals, so you know the success condition of your strategy. The Lewis Carroll quote is quite appropriate here.
- joshklein 16y agoI understand what the author's point is, but the quotation lends support to the counterargument: accept that the joy is in the journey, not the destination, and continue moving forward because you will get to where you desire, no matter where it is. Or succinctly: life is about adventure, so don't make plans. "Cheshire Puss, she began, rather timidly, as she did not know at all whether it would like the name: however, it only grinned a little wider. Come, it's pleased so far, thought Alice, and she went on. Would you tell me please, which way I ought to go from here? That depends a good deal on where you want to get to said the cat. I don't much care where, said Alice. Then it doesn't matter which way you go, said the cat. ... So long as I get somewhere, Alice added as an explanation. Oh, your sure to do that, said the cat, if you only walk long enough."
