Everybody is talking about it, which is why millions of people dream of creating a startup. But in the old days, you would get hell for wanting to do that. Because under communism, people had different goals. It was popular to go to the meadows to pick corn. You can still find old people who romanticise those times, when the main goal was to help the state prosper (to make more money for Comrade Stalin).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Eh\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And history is an interesting thing.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>History Of Life Goals<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5,000 years ago, there was no McDonald\u2019s. Because it was difficult to feed ourselves, the main goal of Homo sapiens was to take care of their stomach. Therefore, in the mornings, Homo sapiens used to grab a stick and\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Over time, Homo sapiens thought, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWhat if we lived in larger groups instead of small ones? Wouldn\u2019t we be safer?\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Avoiding bears and wolves gave rise to communities\/clans and, of course, states.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For the state to thrive, it has had to develop tools to turn people into citizens. (By the way, I have always been amazed by the process by which people become citizens or part of the grey masses.)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">History is silent on how things really happened. But there are those who say that everything was messed up by <\/span><b>Alexander the Great<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (<\/span><a title=\"Alexander the Great\" href=\"https:\/\/lt.m.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/356_m._pr._m._e.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">356 BC<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">), who ordered the creation of a new list of goals that \u201csuggested\u201d praying to Christ\u2019s father. But not everyone got the same list, so the rest of the world prayed to Allah. Religion has helped countries avoid revolutions because people of faith are more easily repressed. But over time religion stopped working, so old values were replaced by newer goals and the brains of young people were happy to swallow all the crap.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cHeeeey, they\u2019re giving out sweets!\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(The only problem is, men carry sweaty sweets in their trouser pockets\u2026)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, there have always been areas where people\u2019s goals\/values have changed very slowly. For example, there are still tribes where parents suggest that children enjoy cannibalism. In Western New Guinea, there is a tribe called the <\/span><a title=\"Korowai tribe\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thesun.co.uk\/news\/10595916\/indonesias-cannibal-korowai-tribe\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Korowai<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> on the Ndeiram Kabur River. The tribesmen believe that mysterious deaths are caused by demons who take the form of a human being and whose duty it is to eat the corpse of the deceased to avenge the death. But Europe and America are not far behind. Nowadays, people know how to \u201ceat\u201d and \u201ckill\u201d each other with words. That is why you will find a million comments on the Internet threatening with violence, because the haters are not pursuing the goals that wise people pursue, who do not surrender to the trendy goals, but rather the goals that they have received from modern culture.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The truth, continuing the discussion about a depraved society, I suggest taking a look at the following pop-goals:<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Most <\/span><b>POP<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ular Goals<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(FOCUSED ON THE OUTSIDE)<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><\/h2>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><b>WOMEN<\/b><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Age hoped to achieve it by<\/span><\/td>\n<td><b>MEN<\/b><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Age hoped to achieve it by<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><b>1.

To have money\u2026 To have a family\u2026 To have a golden ring\u2026 It\u2019s all about possession, possessiveness. That\u2019s why people say: <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI have a man\u201d<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI have a woman.\u201d <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I\u2019m not saying that the things in this table are totally evil, I\u2019m just saying that these things <\/span>are related to the desires of the majority. And where are the bigger\/smarter\/wiser goals? Looking at all this, it becomes clear why civilisation is still in a latent stage of development.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But I believe that one day humanity will wake up.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I believe that one day our children\u2019s children will learn to distinguish between popularised goals and meaningful goals.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I believe that <\/span><b>one day in schools they will tell a story that once upon a time, humanity was chasing fashionable goals that changed with the political winds.<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Future generations will be able to distinguish between superficial, short-term goals and long-term goals, not because they will have bigger brains, but because they will have enough information.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Or am I wrong and the problem I<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2019<\/span>m discussing with you is overblown?

And I respect such people. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">My goal is to unite such people. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Oh yes, I\u2019m a fighter for meaningful goals. My mission is to free you from standard mindset so that you stop pursuing superficial goals and choose your own personal path.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Those who follow my website are already ahead of time because they already know what people will aspire to when civilisation reaches a higher level. I have already given my readers all the secrets of a quality life that future generations will know. My readers have already seen the tables in which I have clearly shown the difference between handed goals and the eternal laws of the universe. And you, have you seen that priceless information?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By the way, I\u2019m not some kind of prophet, I just found books where geniuses have predicted what the future holds and put it all together in one place. That\u2019s all\u2026 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And even though someone has said that I\u2019m the truest path to people\u2019s personal freedom and wisdom\u2026 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And although someone has said that I\u2019m enviably wise, I don\u2019t propose to exalt me, because my mission is different. I\u2019m a wake-up call that constantly encourages you to break free from clich\u00e9d mindset. I have given you a lot of love and information, and that steering wheel is already in your warm hands. You will only be free if you take the responsibility to free yourself.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So all you have to do is find that article where I already wrote about the most important goals. I have mentioned some of the goals in one of my books. Have you read it?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Where is your answer?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the other hand, I\u2019m not a scrooge.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although I have written them all down in my books, I\u2019m about to give one of them away.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Oh yes, YOU are about to get a priceless goal\u2014here and now.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Breathe in some air, because it will change everything!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Because my goal is so important that\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But let\u2019s start from the beginning.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Goal<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When I was little, I had very little happiness and confidence. I was a loser. I wanted to change that, so I often asked people, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWhat can I do to find happiness?\u201d<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Everybody responded like robots, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cYou need to find yourself, understand what you want, then you will be happy.\u201d<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Grown-up people have fooled me by saying that. But I trusted them and I started to explore, to find out what I liked\u2026 I started the path of finding myself\u2026 Sports, golf, basketball, etc. Although it took a while, I eventually found out that I like playing guitar. I bought a guitar\u2026 It took me a lot of effort to get it. I went through the crossroads\u2026 But for now, let\u2019s go back to my wish. I wanted to become a famous guitarist. Even though my wish was gigantic and I didn\u2019t know exactly what I wanted, I didn\u2019t do very well. I knew a lot of other artists who were trying to make a living by playing, but they couldn\u2019t, even though they were trying very hard\u2026 They dreamt of a goal, but they couldn\u2019t achieve it\u2026 It hurt them\u2026 So they used alcohol to soothe the pain\u2026 Therefore, many questions arose for me: is it really important to know what you want, or is there something more important? Of course there is\u2026 And I realised what is really worth pursuing. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I believe that <strong>the most important thing is to learn how to achieve goals<\/strong> because when you know how to do that, you can achieve what you want. But <em><strong>if you don\u2019t know how to achieve goals, your desire becomes meaningless because you have no idea how to achieve it.<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Because the biggest problem is that you don\u2019t know how to achieve goals, not that you don\u2019t know what you want. BECAUSE <strong>your desires change, but knowing how to achieve your goals is a skill that will save your ass in all situations.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Think about it, <strong>if you know how to achieve your goals, you could create the desire to \u201cfind yourself\u201d and achieve it with one snap of your fingers\u2026<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do you understand what I mean?<\/span><\/p>\n<p>This should be taught in schools, because if a person doesn<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2019<\/span>t know how to achieve goals, then he will be a loser\u2026<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, I repeat, your goal should be: <\/span><strong>To become a person who knows how to achieve goals.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Because those who know how to achieve goals can build a house, start a business, and find that person, and\u2026<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Write in the comments if you liked it\u2014\u201cI liked it,\u201d \u201cI want more\u201d or _____ .
