BEING IDEALISTIC GIVES YOU PRACTICAL RESULTS
There's no reason your wishes can't become goals.

The biggest contribution you'll ever make to the world will always come from something you're passionate about. It's true that society is interested in practical, useful results. That's fine. It's also true that the best results - the ones with the most impact - happen because someone thought "what if." (And then they worked their tails off to make it reality.)

Success doesn't happen without a vision and hard work. These, in turn, are borne from a passion that's rooted in idealistic thinking.

When it comes to turning your wishes into goals, the same is true. You'll get practical results when you apply "what if" to your life. Your desire to see it through grows as your idealistic vision takes hold.

And in the end, the grander the vision, the greater your contribution.

Submitted By: CHEF_MEG

TIP: Buy your beets with the greens still attached--it's great way to check for freshness and the greens can be used for another recipe. Full Recipe
