THE DEVOTION TO GOALS OF BESSIE COLEMAN

DEVOTION TO GOALS

Geniuses know what they want and go after it. Get con- trol of your life and schedule. Have something specific to accomplish each day.

DEFINITION Devotion is the act of fully committing yourself to a cause or activity. When you are devoted, you are enthusiastically determined, and you give it all you’ve got. A goal is what you are trying to do or achieve. It is what you are aiming for and intending to reach. WORD ORIGIN Devotion comes from Latin devotus “dedicate by a vow, promise seriously.” Goal comes from Middle English gol “boundary, limit,” from Old English gāl “obstacle, barrier, marker.”
