I guess you are absolutely right about this. If someone want to be great in life, he or she must set a target. Like you said there are some idea that just come to our brain at that particular time but if we are unable to draft it down or put it in ink like you said at tgat particular time, we tend losing it.
I for example, every new year, i awlays set some goals or draft sone plan out e.g what i am going to achieve for this year or for this half year and i tend and strive working towards the plan and target for that year and truly it has helped me a lot in my various life aspect.
I guess you are right, tgat is what we need sonetimes. When we get hold of a new idea, we should try writing it down and so as not to forget. Thank you for sharing this with us
