President John Kennedy issued a goal of putting a man on the moon by the end of the 1960's. His declaration stirred the nation's competitive spirit. In this case, science became a metaphor for the triumph of democracy over communism.
It wasn't that we knew how to do it (we didn't), but that we believed we had to do it.
"Success is all about meaning first and method second."
Dena and I have decided to run 5k on December 1, even though neither of us has run regularly this year. Yesterday we mapped out a 5k path and just walked it. 5k time: 46 minutes. Our plan is to cover the distance 5 days a week for 6 weeks, lengthening our jog time each time. Who knows if we'll be as successful as America's space program? The fun is in the trying.
