"When an Archer misses the mark, he turns and looks for the fault with in himself. The failure to hit the bulls-eye is never the fault of the target. To improve your aim improve yourself.- Gilbert Arland

When we are attempting to achieve a goal we will presume that we will succeed, we either do accomplish our goal, or we do not. We can presume that the individuals who did complete their goals were the individuals who had delved with in themselves and corrected the fault that restrained them previously, we can also assume that the individuals who had not completed their goals had blamed other aspects of their lives for their failure and their inability to delve with in themselves and correct the fault that will continue to restrain them. Allow me to provide an example, suppose i am running my usual three miles and i complete my three miles ten seconds later than my usual time, i cannot blame the terrain, so i must examine what i had done that had restrained me and correct the insufficient trait.
