In the 1950's
a study was done at a major university, in which members of the
graduating class were asked if they had a vision and goals
written down on paper for what they wanted to accomplish in
life.
Only 3% of
the students surveyed said yes.
In a
follow-up study 20 years later, those 3% reported being happier,
living better quality lives, being in better relationships, etc.
That may all sound very subjective, but pay attention to this.
Those people in that 3% group were worth more monetarily than
the other 97% combined! While money is certainly not only measurement
of success, it is significant to look at in this case. Having
a vision and goals that are written down is powerful.
