I’ve always found an “heuristic” approach useful. Instead of saying “I want to be there, then.” (A goal), or “I won’t accept a less than 40% success rate.” (A constraint), I say “That hill seems to be the one I want to climb. I know that it gets colder, as I go up the mountain, so I’ll pack some long underwear.” But I suspect that my own definition of “success” may be somewhat orthogonal to that of a lot of folks, hereabouts.
