If you set an unrealistic goal that you won't accomplish but try really hard to reach it, in most cases your end result and the progress you made along the way will be far far better than when you set a realistic goal and reach it.

I always set unrealistic bars for myself. And in the end I get more from not reaching my goal than I would from reaching a lower one.
