Stars Goals And Life Reaching Goals

More From Benjamin E. Mays

The tragedy of life doesn't lie in not reaching your goal. the tragedy lies in having no goal to reach. it isn't a calamity to die with dreams unfulfilled, but it is a calamity not to dream...it is not a disgrace not to reach the stars, but it is a disgrace to have no stars to reach for. not failure, but low aim is sin.

People have stars, but they aren't the same. for travelers, the stars are guides. for other people, they're nothing but tiny lights. and for still others, for scholars, they're problems... but all those stars are silent stars. you, though, you'll have stars like nobody else... since i'll be laughing on one of them, for you it'll be as if all the stars are laughing. you'll have stars that can laugh!... and it'll be as if i had given you, instead of stars, a lot of tiny bells that know how to laugh.

Halfway down the stairs, is a stair, where i sit. there isn't any, other stair, quite like, it. i'm not at the bottom, i'm not at the top; so this is the stair, where, i always, stop. halfway up the stairs, isn't up, and isn't down. it isn't in the nursery, it isn't in the town. and all sorts of funny thoughts, run round my head: it isn't really anywhere! it's somewhere else instead!

We look up and we hope the stars look down, we pray that there may be stars for us to follow, stars moving across the heavens and leading us to our destiny, but it's only our vanity. we look at the galaxy and fall in love, but the universe cares less about us than we do about it, and the stars stay in their courses however much we may wish upon them to do otherwise. it's true that if you watch the sky-wheel turn for a while you'll see a meteor fall, flame and die. that's not a star worth following; it's just an unlucky rock. our fates are here on earth. there are no guiding stars.

All men have the stars," he answered, "but they are not the same things for different people. for some, who are travellers, the stars are guides. for others they are no more than little lights in the sky. for others, who are scholars, they are problems. for my businessman they were wealth. but all the stars are silent. you--you alone--will have the stars as no one else has them--

I wouldn't be honest if i didn't say my mom. apart from the fact that she's my mother, she's a brilliant comedian and a force as a producer. she paved the way for women to produce and star in their own films, and to balance that with being the matriarch of our family is really inspiring.
