It is important to set reasonable goals in life.
For example, my child could grow up to be chief justice of the Supreme Court.
That particular train has left my station, though. My sloth, apathy and ignorance have eliminated many paths that were heretofore available in my life.
But, there are still many paths available for me.
The key, as I emphasized in the opening sentence, is to have reasonable goals.
I, being reasonable, therefore do not aspire to be a noble statesman, philathropic business mogul, or idolized pop star, as these are not reasonable goals for me.
I aspire to be like RC, and make fantastic comic strips. Am I there yet?
