For instance you want to find somebody or some treasure (thats your aim) and you may search it for years...waste a lot of time...and may be useless... Is it worth of it?

I bielieve that all depends on the person perception and not on public perception .

I have almost unreal aims!!!! Real and easy aren't for me. I'm a demigodess and MUST have unreal aims.
I waste a lot of energy for them sometimes it's useless but sometimes I gain this aims and people say "this is only for a god" I'm realy proud then...
I live with passion. Living that way gives you the benefit to do things that many people never taste.
I'll give you an example, I'm peraring a new PhD in my country.I'm sure that I'll gain it. But it's to difficult to approach it because there are 1200 candidates for 5 "places" (percendage 0.4%!!!!!) It' an unreal aim, I'm workig about that three years!!!!!!

I believe the most accurate barometer would be your own feelings. Does it make you happy, fulfill you in some way? If so, then that's the better choice. After all, 'waste of time' and 'useless' are judgement calls, aren't they? What makes some activity or pursuit valuable is also a judgement call. Is it worth it TO YOU?

Make two lists for your life.
The first will be called My Goals.
On this list, you put goals you can cetrainly attain if you put your mind to it. Break each goal down into smaller tasks and do them over time until each goal is completed.
The second will be called My Wishes.
On this list, you will name things you want to happen, like find treasure or someone, or anything you can't make happen simply by trying-- things that require luck, miracles, etc.
Every time you complete a big goal, celebrate. Every time one of your wishes is fulfilled, feel blessed. Happy Hunting!

unrealistic can be motivating for a while, but after a lot of flops they will demotivate ppl and make them feel that no matter what i do i will not reach the target anyways so it can backfire, and ppl may end up doing nada. this is one of the big mistakes the company CEOs often make, setting too high and physically unreachable targets btw.
i'd stick with the step by step approach if i where you, thats more motivating, achievement is a great driving force.(for me at least)

Heard melodies are sweet those unheard sweeter .......so going ahead with an aim can give u some pleasure too inspite of the ultimate disappointment if the journey was good ,well why not?

I guess technically, real, easy ones are better because then you are easily fulfilled and you won't act all crazy and end-up causing trouble like Gatsy (From the Great Gatsy by Fitzgerald). If everyone had easy dreams, everyone would be kinda happy.
But I personally like having big dreams. They keep me moving, and I hope they keep growing like cancer and never stop =P

Got this quote from a four-star general, and it's one of the wisest things I've ever heard: "The problem isn't when we aim too high and miss; the problem is when we aim too low and hit."

Almost unreal aims. Coz when there's nothing to work for, there's no point.

make short terma and long term aims.
Short term aims need to be real.
Long term aims need to be far reaching.
EnJoying along the way is most important.
