For the target setting students, it is not better than this. The two friends put forward an idea [more like a crazy vision!], letting their London life pause for a few years, and using only human muscles as a driving force to orbit the Earth [crossing the equator]. They hardly know what to prepare for them.
Try to imagine that when his friend Steve Smith came up with the idea in 1991, the 26-year-old Jason Lewis must have thought of something. [Obviously, on a monotonous and wet Monday morning]. There is no doubt that it is unbelievable to imagine all the places where they might go, the challenges that need to be overcome and the positive impact that their efforts may have on raising awareness of protecting the environment. [Remember, this was before the Internet in the early 1990s, letting the media focus on and sponsoring the interests of the UK, not to mention the rest of the world, is itself a challenge].
The 1994 video allowed them to leave London for cycling to the English Channel, and their pedal boat Moksha was ready, a refreshingly honest and innocent. I was lost in the countryside soon! I thought of an old story about step by step. Only you have to create a new cliché to describe how they step on their little craft in the Atlantic - how to "revolve once and for all"?
Surprisingly, although the East Atlantic crosses the pedal power [!] is the number one in the world, but it really "just" the beginning of their incredible experience. I encourage you to visit their website [http://www.expedition360.com] and see for yourself the number of years and years spent on seeing the initial vision of completion.
When I'm done, I'm not saying that they use the goal setting and project management to "plan, execute, and deliver" in a somewhat unpredictable language – even though a team of volunteers might use many of these skills. Let the things get on the right track.
No, goals and goals can be changed, abandoned and created anytime, anywhere. There are ongoing logistics, funding and funding issues. There is no doubt that there is some "violent discussion" - especially on the 26-foot [8-meter] pedal boat! Moreover, although they were originally estimated to be about three years old, they were not an expedition, and all participants could see the possible end date, then pack, go home and reflect on the experience. This is a thing that stops real life - actually more than a third of Jason's life. And I believe that he has to go home many times over the years - his original romantic concept is to escape from London a bit boring life, long-term disappeared in the world's salt water and dusty trails.
So, what made him [and the team and family/supporters] go? Although it may be easy to say that the idea of "walking the pedal boat along the Greenwich meridian" will certainly motivate him, but I think it is too stale. Will you choose to spend one-third of your life to get through this uncertain outcome [physical, emotional, and financial difficulties]?
I suspect that Jason and his team's "driving" is a combination of the initial vision and the incredible experiences along the way – especially the educational and humanitarian impact he created locally. Although I suspect that a driver in Colorado has smashed his leg, he still wants to repeat it. I want to know what new opportunities to stay in the US lead to his search and action.
This story has had a profound impact on me because I think it shows how simple the "target creation" process is. Start with the desired vision, see if you play some action roles, and move on. In fact, in the same year that Jason Lewis and Steve Smith started their great adventure, I left the UK myself. In my case, there is no physical danger - but a lot of sadness from leaving friends and family, coupled with the excitement of creating new life and career in Japan.
It has now been 13 years. In October 2007, Jason Lewis returned home. A chapter of his life is closing, a new beginning. how about you? What is your great adventure? What will you do in the next 13 years? This is my experience learning more about Moksha sailing. from
Just put forward your 2020 vision and start pedaling!
