Makes sense. I would be nice to think that everyone was <em>nice<em> but alas your words are too true. That being said, it's encouraging to read what you did share.

My goal to lose weight, my goal to move my family to Canada, etc. I have learned though to keep some goals private. Unfortunately not everybody has your best interests at heart, in fact I have found there are some people who find others successes distasteful or personally offensive. It would be nice to think this was an isolated thing contained to my small part of the world but somehow I think these people exist all over. @Aaron - The best memes get you thinking about things and in ways that you wouldn't ordinarily, this is one of them :) @Dave – Some of my goals are public.

Potts Mon, 26 Mar 2007 03:43:02 +0000 http://www.chrisg.com/goals-meme/#comment-1715 Chris, The first time I got tagged with a meme I had a silent groan thinking that MySpace had somehow followed me to my blog! Since then, I have seen some value in them, however, and Alex Shalman (the originator of this meme) is proving to be one of the "do good stuff" kind of people, so thanks for hopping on board. Using my own blog as a pseudo-measure of success, I can agree that actually measuring that success can be easier said than done. However, I can also say this. In the last hour alone I have laughed out loud, smiled from ear to ear, nodded my head in vigorous agreement, and even felt "warm and fuzzy" that my blogging efforts were having a positive influence on people's lives. And that's just in the last hour. I'll take that. :) Thanks for playing along, Chris! Chris,

I see that in several other blogs as well. Why do you think that? For me, I'm finding that I get greater motivation from putting my goals out there. Sort of committed to what I declare. I don't mean an arrogant boast but just something to help me be accountable. I would be really interested in hearing your thoughts. Chris, You made the comment that for you goals are a private thing.

The term was coined by Richard Dawkins to be a kind of "thought gene". In blogging terms it is just anything that is spread from one blog to another like a chain letter, usually quizzes, surveys, etc where you complete it then tag someone else for them to continue.
