akira the don - that goal lyrics

now, let’s get back
to our definition of success
who succeeds?
who succeeds?
now, let’s get back
to our definition of success
who succeeds?
who succeeds?

i’ll tell you
who the successful people are
the success is the school teacher
who is teaching school
because that’s what she wanted to do
the success is the woman
who is a wife and mother
because she wanted
to become a wife and mother
and is doing a good job of it
the success is the man
who runs the corner gas station
because that’s what he wanted to do
the success is the successful salesman
who wants to become
a top+notch salesman
and grow and build with his organization
a success is anyone
who is doing deliberately
a pre+determined job
because that’s what
he decided to do
deliberately
but only 1 out of 20 does that
that’s why today
there isn’t really any competition
unless we make it for ourselves
instead of competing
all we have to do is create
the only man who succeeds
is the man who is
progressively realizing
a worthy ideal
he is the man who says
“i am going to become this”
and then begins to work
toward that goal
toward that goal
toward that goal
and then begins to work
toward that goal
he is the man who says
“i am going to become this”
and then begins to work
toward that goal

now for 20 years
i looked for the key
which would determine
what would happen
to a human being
was there a key
i wanted to know
which would make the future
a promise
we could foretell
to a large extent?
was there a key
that would guarantee
a person’s becoming successful
if he only knew about it
and knew how to use it?
well, there is such a key
and i found it
have you ever wondered
why so many men
work so hard and honestly
without ever achieving
anything in particular
and others don’t seem
to work hard
and yet seem to get everything?
they have the magic touch
and have you ever noticed
that a man who becomes successful
tends to continue
to become successful?
and on the other hand
have you noticed
how a man who’s a failure
tends to continue to fail?
it’s because of goals
the only man who succeeds
is the man who is
progressively realizing
a worthy ideal
he is the man who says
“i am going to become this”
and then begins to work
toward that goal
toward that goal
toward that goal
and then begins to work
toward that goal
he is the man who says
“i am going to become this”
and then begins to work
toward that goal

some of us have them
some don’t
people with goals succeed
because they know
where they’re going
now think of a ship
leaving a harbor
and think of it
with a complete voyage
mapped out and planned
the captain and crew
know exactly where it’s going
and how long it will take
it has a definite goal
9,999 times out of 10,000
it will get to where
it started out to get
now let’s take another ship
just like the first
only let’s not put a crew on it
or a captain at the helm
let’s give it no aiming point
no goal, and no destination
we just start the engines
and let it go
i think you’ll agree with me that
if it gets out of the harbor at all
it will either sink
or wind up on some deserted beach
a derelict
it can’t go any place
because it has no destination
and no guidance
it’s the same
with a human being
the only man who succeeds
is the man who is
progressively realizing
a worthy ideal
he is the man who says
“i am going to become this”
and then begins to work
toward that goal
toward that goal
toward that goal
and then begins to work
toward that goal
he is the man who says
“i am going to become this”
and then begins to work
toward that goal
