"A man's mind, stretched by a new idea, can never go back to its original dimension.
--Oliver Wendell Holmes "

The Idea Pundit is devoted to the world of ideas, preferably good ideas. There is an old saying that good ideas are a dime a dozen, which means that just having a good idea is not enough, you have to put the good idea into action. To put ideas into action, you have to have a PLAN of action.

A list of "The Top 10 Best Ideas For Setting Goals" by Hilton Johnson is found at Top Achievement.

The best thing about the list above is that it asks you to WRITE DOWN what you want to achieve.

Many years ago a study was done of an entering college class of about 600 students. Various tests were given, questionaires were answered, family histories were traced, individual motivation was studied, the background of the students was recorded, and so on.

In the course of the study, one of the researchers observed that three students were so certain of their objectives for the future that they had written them down. The had put their goals IN WRITING.

Thirty years later, when this same class was again studied, the researchers made a remarkable discovery. The three students who had written down their goals, who had known what to make of their lives and their ideas, who had put those ideas into practice, were making as much money together (just the three of them) as all of the other remaining 597 students put together.

This was quite remarkable.

Putting your ideas and goals to paper cements these aims in your mind as targets for the future.
You are then more apt to make decisions in your life which are geared to these targets.
The result - many of your ideas may more easily become reality.
