The most important parameter is the creative life - Worthy Goal . What it is? Here are some basic criteria for a worthy purpose.
Purpose necessarily have to be new or not reached . Either the new should be a means to achieve goals .
Objective have to be socially useful , positive , aimed at the development of life . Or, positive results achieve the goal should be global , and the negative - if they are still unavoidable - local.
The goal should be specific: not the general good intentions and clear mission, to the solution of which can begin even today.
At the same time, the goal should not be too narrow: it is necessary to see well the super-system - the next stage of work. The specific objective must necessarily have access to the global challenges, Great worthy goal should be unattainable, the infinite. How to combine these two seemingly contradictory requirements: concreteness and inaccessibility? Each target should be specific and achievable, but the number of super-system transitions indefinitely, and therefore the ultimate, final goal can not be. Thus, inaccessibility - this requirement is rather a system worthy goals, rather than to a single target.
Select the goal can be called the equivalent of their own lives. Therefore, the scale, the significance of the expected results characterize the "price", in which man himself evaluates himself: after the goal time is wasted his life. Hence the importance of this quality - scale goal - to man: the time of our lives is limited, so limited and the number of goals that we can achieve. We have to choose, and for this you need a reliable criterion, so as not to waste a lifetime to achieve small things. Let needed, but still the smallest detail.
The new worthy goal, as a rule, is ahead of his time so that it is often perceived by others as heretical. A worthy goal, or the results must seem heretical. This requirement is at first glance it seems strange and unreasonable. But the degree of "heretical" (so to speak) determines the distance from the conventional level of attitudes, knowledge culture to the goal, to the level of the results. If the purpose or the results are not perceived as heresy, it is an indication that something is "wrong": what to choose small or not a new goal that the results achieved are not revolutionary. "Heretical", however, although the property is a worthy goal, characterizes not the goal itself, and a typical ratio of associates to the revolutionary idea. As time passes, and the perception of change. But while the goal is not to become popular, and the results are generally accepted, and the purpose and the results are considered to be heresy.
That is why when a worthy goal, as a rule, there is no competition. It provides good-quality work: without haste, without the schlock.
A worthy goal - it's a personal goal of a person or a small team, a group of associates. Large groups appear later, when explored the main search direction when self promotion is not associated with the same risk of death.
A worthy goal should be independent from the sophisticated and expensive equipment scarce, which can only be a large development teams. Revolutionary objectives begin to develop alone, so have to hope only for themselves. Independent of sophisticated equipment, from a lot of money - it is a way of doing research under any circumstances; way to remove barriers to the promotion of the goal.
Finally. This requirement is not supported by objective factors, and I was not even able to prove convincingly any arguments of its necessity; here it is necessary to resort to the statement "I'm sure." So, I am sure that when choosing a worthy goal, it is necessary to try to ensure that the target was clearly too much for her to clearly exceed the capabilities and capacity of the person taking over it. This does not mean that the goal will remain unattained: person available all. But achieving such a goal - it is a dispute with oneself. The hardest battle, which man should win. And won by committing "almost impossible". It is more expensive victory. Achieving such "unbearable" goals - a contribution to the treasury guidelines humanity: it is difficult to say what is more valuable - directly results or the fact that people are not afraid, neither turned away ...
