[ Witness ]

There’s a whole cohort of people for whom defining goals and then striving for them is just a natural part of living.  The last big goal that I achieved was finishing five ironman triathlons in five years.

I think that when we strive for goals, it’s even better when we have a witness (or many witnesses), whether a work goal or other pastime.  Last weekend I enjoyed witnessing a colleague strive up and down the local cliff face here, 63 times, in aid of a deserving charity, and, maybe for him, so he could say he’d done it.  With witnesses.
