Goal Oriented

Goal Oriented




These kind of people believe in work. They never believe in process.   They become something what they want to
become and then think how it can be made. Again, this
is nothing bad or good, it is just the nature of an individual.
Let me tell you a goal focused success story. We all know
the story of Rockefeller. When Rockefeller was very young,
he used to sit near eggs which were supposed to hatch and
whenever chicks came out, immediately he would steal them
and sell to somebody else. The owner of the poultry farm
used to think that chicks has been taken away by a cat
or some other animal. Rockefeller never used to bother for
the process of earning. His goal was to earn money by any
means. He had no ethics for that reason. When he got $3000,
he kept that money on interest. Then he came to know how
one
can earn by keeping the principal money in hand. John D. Rockefeller used to say that focus on cents and dollar would automatically come. At the age of 19 he was working as a clerk for 50 dollars per month. He asked his employer to increase his salary but he refused. He immediately left the job and started doing his own commissioning business. He was totally goal oriented. After that, in 1861, there was a civil war and he took full benefit of the same. He was terrible for anyone who came in his way because he looked only at success. Rockefeller was a master negotiator. Later he started his oil business and many other kinds of businesses. He got married and his wife had to fight for household expenses. Rockefeller was very strict about extravagancy. He had learnt to cut the cost on personal
happiness and luxury. However, when he reached the age
of 50, he started spending money for humanitarian causes.
Now his only goal was to spend money on human talent.
In 1901, he established Rockefeller Medical Research
Centre with six million dollars. In 1913, he started
Rockefeller foundation for the whole world for human
development. He was focused on elimination of poverty,
enhancement of education, and culture. Yes, basically I want to say that being a goal-oriented person is not bad. Some people say money is bad. Again, if you have no money you cannot spend for a humane
cause.
