If you’re doing it as a learning experience, then more power to you. But be honest with yourself about your motivations. As someone who usually takes on too much, and makes similar rationalizations, the road can be fun but it’s not going to a destination where you finish something. Don’t repeat my mistakes, examine the whys carefully.
- jackthetab 3y agoWhy does he have to finish anything? TFA even says "I don't expect to finish." The Mona Lisa is unfinished and Leo spent 16 years on it.
- slashdev 3y agoHe doesn’t, if he’s honestly ok with that. But you only have so much time, why not pick a goal that is achievable? Seems like a waste.
- jackthetab 3y agoWhy have a goal? Oftentimes it is the journey that is the most important, not the destination.
- slashdev 3y agoNot all journeys are equally valuable. A goal is critical to point yourself in a worthwhile direction.

- slashdev 3y agoLikewise enjoy your wandering, and in your journey may you encounter a something worthy of setting as a goal, something that captures your heart.
