My problem with goals is that they are limiting. Granted, if you focus on one particular goal, your odds of achieving it are better than if you have no goal. But you also miss out on opportunities that might have been far better than your goal. Systems, however, simply move you from a game with low odds to a game with better odds. With a system, you are less likely to miss one opportunity because you were too focused on another. With a system, you are always scanning for any opportunity. — Scott Adams
