My IEE dad thinks it's impossible to survive without goals. An IEE in the chatbox agrees that goals are the only way she accomplishes anything.

If I set long-term goals, I would drive myself crazy and become a workaholic. I focus on supplying myself with possibilities. The more I accomplish, the more possibilities I open up. Like if I fold a bunch of origami pieces. The more pieces I have, the more options I have for building quality or quantity.

Brilliand links goals with risk. For example, he needs to do laundry. He can't stop halfway, because then he won't be able to wear his clothes clean or dirty. Finishing doing laundry is a goal.

LII's definition of a goal: an assignment. All or nothing.

IEE's definition of a goal: an intended life achievement.

LSE's definition of a goal: something I will purposely attain.
