About this Quote
This quote by Bill Forsyth speaks to the power of setting objectives and having the self-confidence to attain them. It recommends that if you set an objective that is three times higher than what you in fact need, you will be most likely to reach it. This is because it gives you a higher incentive to work hard and pursue success. It also implies that if you set an objective that is too low, you may not be motivated to put in the effort to reach it. By setting a goal that is 3 times higher than what you need, you are more likely to press yourself to reach it. This quote is a reminder that if you set your sights high, you can achieve great things.
