Reflection on motivational goal-setting...

[jay]

... We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win, and the others, too. -President John F. Kennedy, address at Rice University, 9/12/62.

After last Saturday's anniversary, I wanted to offer up my favorite JFK quote here... and I think it is an idea that extrapolates to many areas of endeavor. Even including interpersonal relationships, as much as space technology development ;-).

I think this ties neatly into our conversation over the weekend about how people who ditch relationships when they become "too troublesome" miss out on some of the great rewards that longstanding relationships offer.
