How important is it to have an 'Objective' in place? Does it really matter where we go, as long as we keep going? Can anyone, after all, be perfectly in control over one's own destiny? How sure can one ever be that one would reach one's destination as per plan? If it is true that man never disposes, is it necessary at all to have an 'Objective'?
Factors that we could claim to be in control over are minimal; 'Handful' may not be the right word - perhaps, is it 'Insignificant'? Or, even 'Non-existant'? It's difficult to conceive of a world where none of the creatures ever had any degree of control over whatever it did! So, let's not assume the absurd! Yes, we do have some control - just as a cruising liner would strain every nut and bolt in its mechanism to take the most obtuse of turns, so would we have to give that "Cent per cent" to effect a perceptible change in our destiny. To give it a fifty and expect, say, an eighty may not make perfect sense.
Given the validity of having a valid 'Objective' as the guiding star in our lives, to let life run loose and chase the mirage that never existed is not a winning strategy. Leaders are leaders, not because they chase what they think they want; they win because, they know what they want - and do what it takes! An Objective is much more than a mere guiding star - it's our Life Line!
