"Human progress is neither automatic nor inevitable... Every step
toward the goal of justice requires sacrifice, suffering, and struggle;
the tireless exertions and passionate concern of dedicated individuals." - Martin Luther King, Jr.
I am almost certain every person desires to progress in life, we set goals and strive to attain them, which is an absolutely wonderful thing, the only problem that I have come to notice is that many people have unconsciously substituted progress for attaining goals and meeting targets. Please understand; I do believe that attaining goals and meeting targets are progressive steps, but it doesn't encapsulate what progress is. The Encarta dictionary defines progress as, “development, usually of a gradual kind, toward achieving a goal or reaching a higher standard”. Note that by this definition progress is not just a goal, it is a process, a lifestyle of attaining higher standards not just meeting new goals.
