A worthy goal often provides enough enthusiasm and required push to achieve it. Some try to achieve the goals in the righteous way and others try to achieve at any cost even if they chose the wrong path. In this discussion, I shall present the argument favoring the former statement and refuting the later statement. Every field in the current world has pinnacle position to achieve and everyone wants to be the best in his/her field. For example, a heavy weight boxer wants to lift the world title and to attain this he cant rely on steroids or drugs to get the job done nor he can adopt illegal practice. Mike Tyson the former world heavy weight champion in order to reach the pinnacle was ready to rip off his opponent’s ear which was a bad taste of sportsmanship. A Sportsman winning his goal without any illegal practices will have a legacy to live even after he retires and even when the person is no more. Making more money, this could be a very common goal for every individual. If every industrialist wants to cash in more money, some by providing less quality goods at greater prices while others resorting to illegal practices will end up society into a graveyard. If every government employee unless paid enough bribe will not perform his duties, an un-qualified person gets into the job through bribes and this can lead to heavy accidents. If any country wants to gain the supremacy over the world doesn’t feel using nuclear weapons as dangerous, we will be reaching the end of world quite soon. Moreover , Every individual while growing needs an idol to live up to and if the idol turns a fraud , this will shatter the individual’s dream and will leave the person bad taste. Setting righteous goals and working hard to achieve them through the means which are correct will not only help the person feel contended but also helps to create a better and safe environment. Finally, I concur that worthy goals are really worth achieving if the means of achieving the goals are correct and legal which will make a better tomorrow.
