Via Basic Instructions comes this comic on how to set and, more importantly, achieve a long-term goal. Inspirational.

I don’t like setting goals. Invariably, I do, but I hate doing it. Because then when you can’t accomplish your goal, there’s no sense of failure quite as profound. But what if your goal was to not achieve a particular goal? Then you achieved your goal by failing. If you’re a robot reading this, that paradox just made your head explode. Unfortunately I’m not too big in the robot community. Probably not enough jokes in binary.
