About this Quote

This quote by W. Clement Stone is a tip that having objectives is not enough to accomplish success. It is very important to take action and pursue those objectives with interest and determination. Without doing something about it, our goals will remain absolutely nothing more than pipe dreams. Planning is important, however it is only the primary step. We should act and put in the effort to make our dreams a truth. It is inadequate to merely have a plan; we should want to put in the effort and devotion to make our goals a reality. We should have the guts to take risks and the perseverance to keep going even when things get difficult. Without taking action, our goals will stay absolutely nothing more than pipeline dreams.
