"In search of common goal" primary Goal is, to find out. What do we have in common? The answer for that question is seems to complex. What we don't know is that, Simplicity lays in the complex ideas. Knowing How, is art of living.

Goal, is a goal: Doesn't matter if it is, Long or short term, big or small, hard or easy. they are all equal as a goal.

What ever spark us, and Motivate us to do things, then we have to have a plan and goal to do it. To reach a goal we have to be Determine. Meanning, how to do it.

Using Nature

Using nature as a guide would help us tremendously with our intellectual decision making. For example, In nature when we are going some where, first we have to decide witch way we want to go and where is our destination. There is 360 degree around us. Destination of our Goal is one (1) degree, (depend how focus we are,) so we face it and then we take our first step. When we take that one step we have to realize that all our steps are equal for reaching our goal. In any journey there are obstacles that we have to over come, with our determination and what motivated us in a first place.

Our basic goals that we all have in common are: To be somebody, be happy and free. Sound simple but, today everybody asking and trying to find out how to do it.

 
How Determent we are.to reach our goal

In my case

Seeing the movie Tarzan, I knew I want to be involve with movies.

My goal was, to come to America. I was twenty years old, full of dreams and I have decided to leave my country in order to reach my dream land, America. That was my Motivation. So far so good. Now, all that depents on how determination you are, in order to reach your goal.

Without no maney and not knowing any other language, I knew I have to have a passport. In order to get a passport you have to go Military service for two years. Then you have to work to make money to pay for passport. By the time you get a passport you lose three or four years of your life. Now, you have a passport but, you need money to take you where you want to go, and you know, that would take you another two or three years to save some the money. So you take off with fifty dollar in your pocket, with a big dream, a goal and determination to get yourself to America simply by walking. You get hungry you eat. when you run out of money, you work. All the time you think about your dream. You don’t let anything get to you and follow your goal. Because, that is the only thing you want to do.

What Potential have to do with Opportunity?

After six years you reach your goal, coming to America. I land in America when American land on the moon. Such a beautiful day. What now? What Potentials & Opportunities we have. 
If, I was born and lived in a country like United State and I had a friend like Frances Ford Chapel, Gorge Locus, and my father bought me a camera when I was young, as a gift for my birthday, and in a right time, in the right place, I could be another Steve Spielberg. But, I was born other side of planet Earth, wrong place and time, in a different environment with same desires, to be a filmmaker. 
The challenge to over come, all obstacles and struggles to reach your goal. Then, when you reach your destination after traveling fifty different countries for six years, is not the same thing you were after. If you have drive and Motivated, you do the best you can trying, but is to late. Then you challenge life itself. Later you find out there is a gap (Time lose) in your life.
Not knowing much about the country and that takes you another five years to reach your goal. By the time you add all those years, Steve Spielberg have so many film in his pocket, you just become a news cameraman for local TV. Station with scripts and ideas for films in mind.
