Question

9．Recently I had a conversation with a friend who has a long-term goal that will take several years to achieve．He seemed overwhelmed by the size of the goal and was getting discouraged．It let me remember the story of the clock that had been running and running．
One day，the clock began to think about how many times it had to stick each year．It counted the seconds up and found it would have to stick 31，536，000 times a year．The clock was overwhelmed．It said to itself，"I can't do it．That's too much．"So it stops sticking．Then someone told it that it didn't need to do it all at once，but one tick each time．The clock then realized that was okay and started ticking happily again．
When we set our goals，it's good to think about the final results．But getting to a goal is doing a little bit every day，not doing it all at once．So next time you find yourself to overwhelmed by your goal，remember the clock and the number of ticks-do a little bit every day and you will reach your goal．
On the other hand，if you always focus on achieving your goals，you will only train yourself to go from one goal to the next without coming up for air．You need to introduce a littlebalance into your life．Do some activities that have nothing to do with your goals，like finding a new park to walk through，discovering a new route to run，or picking a great novel to read．Give yourself time to relax and don't miss out on the pleasure of life．
