Setting objectives is an important component of personal and professional growth. However, the key to success rests not just in creating objectives but in making sure they are reasonable and feasible. Realistic objectives are ones that are specific, quantifiable, and attainable, given an individual’s present talents, resources, and time restrictions. They encourage individuals to grow and challenge themselves, yet remain within reach, eliminating emotions of frustration and despair. Achieving these goals needs not only drive but also meticulous planning, self-awareness, and tenacity.

Plenty of experts argue that anyone who wants to develop a skill, play an instrument, or lead their field should start early, focus intensely, and rack up as many hours of deliberate practice as possible.

David Epstein examined the world’s most successful athletes, artists, musicians, inventors, forecasters and scientists. He discovered that in most fields—especially those that are complex and unpredictable—generalists, not specialists, are primed to excel.
