What you get by achieving your goals is not as important as what you become by achieving your goals.

| growing up with unstated goals |
Whether we realize it or not, children have goals. I don't think it was until I was in high-school that discussion of personal goals was verbalized. In reflection, it feels a bit like a disservice. If children are able to verbalize their goals earlier in life, I expect that goal setting would become easier and easier to follow through with.
I know that my nephew is unable at this age to verbalize his goal, but I know, his goal was to hit the ball. If it subsequently hit me, my response would have been added value to reaching his goal. It's just the way boys are.
