Too much noise; Why I'm dropping most of my Facebook friends

Goals don't make sense but I like them
Every book I’ve read on success talks about setting goals. Up until I bought Pick Four (Zig Ziglar + Seth Godin) I had avoided taking the advice of writing down goals.

Voldemort
Please set aside your disdain for Harry Potter if you have any, and follow my analogy. Voldemort is the villain in Harry Potter. He is so despised and feared that his name is rarely spoken. He is constantly referenced but his name seems to carry extra weight, making him too real for listeners, so it not to be vocalized. My wife and I treat the word divorce the same way.
