Many people are advised to set realistic goals and not expect too much from life. But there is also a contrary opinion, which suggests that we should want big things and be ambitious about our goals. The argument is that even if we don't get everything we want, we will be more satisfied with what we have achieved than if we had settled for less.

The motto "Better to wish for something big and have it half fulfilled, than to wish for less and not have it fully fulfilled" suggests that it is better to set bold goals and risk failure than to settle for modest goals and not achieve them either.

People who set big goals are often more motivated and confident than those who set modest goals. They are more willing to take risks and try their luck. While this can lead to setbacks, it can also be a source of inspiration and personal growth.

Also, if we really want something, we are more willing to invest time and energy in that direction. This can lead to progress and improvement of our skills. Conversely, if we don't really want a goal, it can be difficult to motivate ourselves to devote time and energy to achieving it.

At the same time, we must remember that big goals are not always achievable and that failures can be painful. But if we really wanted something, we can be more satisfied with what we have achieved than if we had been satisfied with less. It's also important to remember that failure can be a valuable teacher that can help us learn and grow.

In conclusion, the motto "It is better to wish for something big and have it half fulfilled than to wish for less and not have it fully fulfilled" suggests that it is better to set bold goals and take on the risk of failure than to settle for modest goals and not achieve them either. However, we must remember that not all goals are great.
