Today’s poem is about the endless pursuit of excellence.
I’m curious to know - what was the last goal you challenged yourself to and chased successfully?

Alright, poem starts in 3… 2… 1!
You know the drill. You know the deal. You know the where and why. You know just what you're aiming for, way up there in the sky. You doodle charts, you plot and plan, you take a leap and fly. But then you trip on random stuff, and land right on your pie. You improvise, you change your flow, you keep on pushing through. And once you reach up to the top, you're spellbound by the view. But soon this win won't thrill you long, you'll seek out something new. For once you've made your mark, you'll find - there's always more to do!
That’s it! Thanks for reading edition 164 of Hello Universe.

Some Fun Stuff
This is where I share something cool to read, something cool to listen to, and something cool to watch! The underlined words are links that you can click to visit the recommended content.
1. Have fun with Google’s Musical Canvas: A fun little AI tool that turns your drawings into music with the help of AI. A neat way to spend a lazy afternoon. Check it out!
2. Listen to TAKA by Skrillex: A Boiler Room hit, now live in your living room. I’d been laying off of listening to music for the past few months as I was deep into Robert Caro’s bibliography, and this track was a breathe of fresh air welcoming me back to the world of music. Check it out and get HYPED!
3. Watch The Longest Ever Ski Jump by Redbull: I was introduced to ski jumping by the brilliant movie Eddie The Eagle, and it quickly became one of my go to feel-good movies. I even visited Garmisch in 2022 during my trip to Europe as a pilgrimage. This video’s a classic Red Bull story, one of achievement against long odds, and it made me relive the thrill I felt in watching Eddie The Eagle. Check it out!
That’s it for this week, see you next Tuesday!
Goals are always tricky! I either have none, or too many. I am either flailing in the dark, or too daunted to plan! I'm saving this post for future reference - it's absolutely terrific. Thanks, Punit!
Very nice & true
