The elderly person asked, “Where do you want to go?”

•A farmer had a dog who used to sit by the roadside waiting for vehicles to come around.
As soon as one came, he would run down the road, barking and trying to overtake it.
One day a neighbor asked the farmer "Do you think your dog is ever going to catch a
car?"
The farmer replied, "That is not what bothers me. What bothers me is what he would do
if he ever caught one."
:: Moral of the Story ::
Many people in life behave like that dog who is pursuing meaningless goals.
First set Meaningful and Realistic goal and then work to achieve GOAL.
