There is efficiency and there is effectiveness. To be efficient is to do something well and quick and properly; to be effective is to be doing the right thing and to be doing the appropriate things. Often we fail to keep active moving toward our goal and dream, or be impatient or to in love with our dream and grow anxious, or force things or become discouraged or too brusque and rude in our frustration. We give up or kick and wrestle with others ruining our progress or destroying help we would otherwise have or would receive.
Sometimes though we do continue in our efforts. Mistakenly we hurry about in industriousness with efficiency, but we do not do so with effectiveness.
