My professor told the class to aim for an A+ for the semester, as you know many students in college/universities don't care about some of their classes and would be content with passing with a D-...but my prof. told us this was wrong thinking.
We should aim for an A+, because even if we fail, we'll get an A, or a B+....whereas if we aim for a D- and we fail.....
I used to think like this too, being beaten down by the countless hours I put into my online schemes, but I realized that with this mentality ("I just want $1 or $5, a week/month") I put less effort into my plans because I was only seeking minimal rewards.
But what if those efforts weren't enough?
So aim higher and put more efforts to your goals, not just anything online but your entire life.
You will fail now and then - it's guaranteed on the path to success- but when you fall it will not be all the way to the ground, your efforts will land you among the clouds if the moon is your goal.
