I believe in balance as well: the pragmatist should coexist with the dreamer, because they need each-other to make things happen. But at the end of the day, it’s really as simple as that — set goal, work hard and be reasonable in your expectations (you won’t run a full marathon after 3 weeks of training if you’ve been a couch potato for the past 20 years), do you best, and hope for the best.
Thank you for your time reading and for your take on the matter.
