Xin, you may want to look at a book called Goal-Free Living. It talks a lot about how pursuing narrow goals is a lot like putting blinders on. The metaphor in the book is having a compass - a la Bill Gates "knowing what he wants" - instead of a roadmap - having each step planned down to the minute.
