Achievable objectives.

[Majo]

Do you guys know the story of a young German soldier who escaped from a prison camp in Siberia during WWII and after 3 years of walking in the wild got home?

How could he survive, at his own, such long time... the war, winters?

His answer was:
"I defined for my self achievable objectives to avoid frustration and desperation. My final goal was to survive, of course, but I needed something more tangible to live the next few minutes."

and how did you do that?

"I took ten little stones and put them into my right hand. Every 1000 steps I would move one of those little stones from my right hand to my left hand. My achievable objective was to move another stone... because to survive was impossible."
