The main reason, people stop what they are doing before the job is completed is because, they do not have a picture of the finished product. In other words, to finish something, you must already know what it looks like in your mind.

I thought this was a pretty good quote. How do you know when something is finished when you don’t know what finish is?

Quite frequently, when I talk about kung fu to people, I always tell them “How do you know you are good when you do not know what good is?” Some people think they are awesome, but it is only because they have not seen the bigger fish.

When coaching dragonboat, I always point out other teams to my team. I have always found pictures of good teams to show them to my team in the hopes they can be inspired and can find higher levels to push themselves to.

In terms of life and in general, having goals is important. How do you know where to head, if you do not have goals. People might stop trying, even just short of achieving their goal, just because they do not have a clearly defined goal and not know where that finish line is.

I’m not exactly religious, but I happened to come by that quote while searching online.
