Unwritten Dreams = Desires; Written Dreams = Goals

Earlier this week was watching Emmitt Smith (ex-football player, Dallas Cowboys) interview on CNBC. During the interview, he attributed his success to his coach who mentioned that dreams are just desires until you write them - at which point they become goals.

I am not a football player but I liked Emmitt Smith's interview and his habit of setting goals. Whether in sports, career, or personal finance, I believe that setting goals is one of the important steps to achieving success. And writing them down takes a person another step closer to success. I believe that writing them down increases the person's commitment to fulfilling it and urges him/her to pursue them with all the strength.

Of course, even the written goals must be followed-up with action, otherwise everything is a wishful thinking. Action is what trips many of us, especially the sustained action since many people take action initially but eventually give up. With the new years around the corner, hopefully I will follow up my advice and keep all my resolutions.
