In that match for Holland I asked for a big responsibility, I got it and I dealt with it. I played well, I scored goals and the team qualified for the Euro 2004 finals. It was a big night and an important moment for Holland.
I set goals, and I like to reach them and accomplish new things.
If you go to work on your goals, your goals will go to work on you. If you go to work on your plan, your plan will go to work on you. Whatever good things we build end up building us.
I believe the most important thing for the defender is to take the ball away from the opposing team, no matter what, and not to allow any space or give any occasions for opponents to score goals.
My goals are to hit .300, score 100 runs, and stay injury-prone.
I was a big party guy in my twenties, and kind of a playboy as well. I adopted a lot of values and goals that were fairly superficial and, in many cases, self-destructive. They looked cool and sounded sexy on the surface, but underneath, there was no real meaning going on, just a lot of escapism.
I wish I could score as many goals as I can in ‘FIFA.’
Success is steady progress toward one’s personal goals.
Nowadays, as soon as a striker scores three goals, everyone starts asking him about it.
Each of you, as an individual, must pick your own goals. Listen to others, but do not become a blind follower.
Mature striving is linked to long-range goals. Thus, the process of becoming is largely a matter of organizing transitory impulses into a pattern of striving and interest in which the element of self-awareness plays a large part.
A man has to have goals – for a day, for a lifetime – and that was mine, to have people say, ‘There goes Ted Williams, the greatest hitter who ever lived.’
The best way to make employees happy is to set realistic goals and achieve them. The big job is to make sure those small steps are pointing us in the right direction and demonstrate at the end of the year that they all add up to something pretty great.
We often assume that all teachers within a discipline address the same curriculum. This isn’t always the case. We frequently find gaps between goals and what is actually taught, and these gaps can have a lasting impact on a child’s learning.
I traced the path I walk today and my goals are many. I think that I’m achieving my goals.
I give myself homework when I have an audition. I give myself goals, and that’s how I check how I’m doing. It can be something simple like ‘listen,’ or ‘find your feet.’ And then afterward it’s an assessment, so in a way it’s not about booking the job or not. It’s about what I learned as an actor about that character.
I think the best way I can repay the supporters for their kindness towards me, and for all that love, support and appreciation, is to score goals and win trophies for them.

Now that I’m 50 and respectably settled in New England and markedly happier and more contented than I was in my youth, I modestly hope there’s time to realize some of my youthful goals before I croak, but I’ll take what I can get.
Most people get overwhelmed by the insignificant decisions of their lives. I’m urging people to minimize the time spent on these when they’re not critical to their most important goals.
I didn’t go to law school to become a lawyer, per se – let’s just say I was leaning in to some strong suggestions from my parents – but my nebulous goals of someday becoming a writer were just that, nebulous.
I hope that Americans will give careful and well-informed thought to root causes and historical realities, in which case I think they will question why a supposedly ‘legitimate’ state such as Israel has had to conduct decades of war against a subject refugee population without ever achieving its goals.
I love the game. I want to see creativity. I want to see great goals. I want ‘Wow!’
I love watching Messi with the ball at his feet. He scores goals and everything else.
Management gurus in general are, I think, best avoided. All too often they reduce your working life to a list of rules to be followed. Targets are aimed at. Goals kicked at. You then break the rules or forget them and, hey presto, you start beating yourself up.
Every minute you spend in your life is either spent bringing you closer to your goals or moving you away from your goals.
Positional leaders ignore the fact that every person has hopes, dreams, desires, and goals of his own. And leaders must bring their vision and the aspirations of the people they lead together in a way that benefits everyone.

I want to elongate my cricketing career as a consistent player. I have personal goals I would like to achieve someday.
The U.N. had such lofty goals to eliminate poverty and stop war and cure diseases and help refugees – things that no one country could do.
A note of caution: We can never achieve goals that envy sets for us. Looking at your friends and wishing you had what they had is a waste of precious energy. Because we are all unique, what makes another happy may do the opposite for you. That’s why advice is nice but often disappointing when heeded.
When I was younger, I used to visualise myself scoring wonder goals, stuff like that.
It’s weird. I don’t really have goals. I just try to make sure I’m enjoying what I’m doing. Once I start to get sick of it, the next thing becomes obvious.
People always see the goals, and for me, strikers are not only about scoring goals.
I’m a big believer in to-do lists. I think of five things in the shower. I set goals and get my work done, but I have to plan for fun things, too. I’m always thinking about what will make my family happier. So I set up playdates and trips.
I’m optimistic, and I have a lot of goals. And I obey the laws of nature: I eat, exercise, and rest properly. But mostly it’s about keeping the mind engaged. My grandmother lived to 104, and she had all of her faculties. I’m physically active and devout – just not as Buddhistic as she was.
Even though I am extremely blessed to have accomplished many of my goals at such a young age, I am still reaching, still striving.
You have to find out what’s right for you, so it’s trial and error. You are going to be all right if you accept realistic goals for yourself.

When I was younger, I had this fairy tale that you can have the eight hours of sleep and be a healthy, balanced person and still achieve your goals. The reality is, that hasn’t always been the case.
Football became my life at five or six. The earliest memory I have is of playing in my first boots, a pair of black and white Alan Balls. It was 1970, four years after the World Cup, and I scored three goals at school.
We try to stick pretty close to what our goals are and what we believe and what we enjoy doing in life – just simple things.
Carrying out the thing, getting it to the point when one might say: There, now it is good – that point is hard to reach. Often, one sets very high goals for oneself. Perhaps too high.
It doesn’t matter who scores the goals, just that we win the games.
I go out to score goals, but I don’t go out thinking about records.
I don’t focus on what I’m up against. I focus on my goals and I try to ignore the rest.
You achieve long-term success step by step. Try to achieve your goals one at a time, like you do target practice.
Helping convene global stakeholders to establish a set of measurable, actionable and consensus-built goals focused on extreme poverty is invaluable.
Professionally, I have no major goals. That’s partly because I’m really flaky. I want things, but I don’t go after them. I’d rather they be placed in my lap.

My job is to score goals.
Jewish sovereignty and governance over our ancestral home are, I believe, important goals that every Jew ought to support.
The more emotional distractions you have the harder it is to accomplish your goals – especially at the extreme levels!
At the end of the day, life’s about realising one’s human potential. I don’t know if I’ve realised mine, but I’ve certainly gone a long way towards realising some goals and some dreams.
I would make hockey movies: I would edit together Flyers games and do highlight reels of goals or fights, which I still have to this day.
