If you set easy goals, meeting them is easy. Now if you can just learn how to break seemingly unachievable goals into easy goals, you'll be all set.

- Mizza 15y agoThe way to deal with an impossible task was to chop it down into a number of merely very difficult tasks, and break each of them into a group of horribly hard tasks, and each of them into tricky jobs, and each of them.. (Terry Pratchett, Truckers. I read this when I was 6 years old but it always stuck with me.)
- shadowfox 15y agoI do agree in general with what you are saying. But sometimes the trouble is that the subdivision (at least a good one) is hard to find. Often enough it is that you don't understand the problem well enough. But sometimes you just can't seem to find the proper sub-problems. I have had this experience while doing research work.
- tomjen3 15y agoThats true and I hope you often encounter that problem in research work; if you do not, you are too far from the edge. And if somebody things "that never happens to me", I kindly ask you to take a look at the the Collatz conjecture [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collatz_conjecture http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collatz_conjecture].
