I. V. M. Some
0:30
like the Russian Korabil-4 in
0:32
1960 failed to even get
0:34
out of Earth's orbit, let
0:36
alone reach Mars. However,
0:39
in 2013, India
0:41
launched MOM, the
0:43
Mars Orbiter Mission.
0:46
And this was a tremendous success. Getting
0:48
to Mars is not an easy exercise at all. Forget
0:51
about the technology needed to take off and
0:53
land on the Martian surface. What
0:56
boggles me is the math needed
0:58
to land on the surface with
1:00
precision. Think about it this way.
1:03
You have to shoot a machine
1:05
the size of a car 250
1:07
million kilometers away. Now,
1:12
this destination is not sitting in
1:14
one place. It is moving.
1:17
It is orbiting around the sun. So
1:19
not only is the Earth moving, but
1:22
so is Mars moving. Those are two
1:24
moving objects. And if that is not
1:26
hard enough, the whole surface is rotating
1:28
as well. As
1:30
humans, we now have the ability
1:32
to overcome all these challenges, do
1:34
all the math, and
1:36
land within a 10 kilometer
1:39
radius of that goal
1:41
location. There is this
1:43
one location on Mars that is a dried
1:45
up lake, which looks like the best possible
1:47
place to find signs of life. And
1:50
this is where most of the missions are
1:52
headed to discover these signs of life. Or
1:55
to discover frozen water, Which
1:58
could again be a sign of life. So.
2:01
Do missions have have a clear
2:03
goal and this is why they
2:05
are successful. Can. You imagine of
2:07
the space missions made goals like the
2:10
way we make our financial goals. The
2:12
conversation with something like this. We
2:14
want to explore space. I
2:17
don't know how. Five. Maybe.
2:19
we go to my me between this
2:22
molson but i don't know. If.
2:24
You don't believe me? This. Is asked to the
2:26
how most of us have our money goes blend.
2:29
I'll I'll ask my claims. When we first
2:31
started looking to get the what did bull's
2:34
eye. And assign then she'll go
2:36
is often sound like this: I want to
2:38
make lots of money. Me that he is,
2:40
it's by don't even know if I need
2:42
that much money because I'm actually way quite
2:45
comfortable with the way than I'm living right
2:47
now. Now. You see, this
2:49
school is so confusing it is
2:51
no direction to it. What?
2:53
Is their definition of a little more.
2:56
What? Is the definition of being that he
2:58
is? It is the I have a plane
3:00
with four Rolls Royce cars. And
3:02
they don't think the devotees it's in fact
3:05
they compare them says the someone with sixty
3:07
two Rolls Royces. It takes
3:09
a lot of effort for most of
3:11
us to visualize have to be up
3:13
money or financial goals. And
3:15
if we do, we're too scared to
3:17
I'd done that. Clear goes. We.
3:19
Seal it is too greedy or
3:22
to egoistic are too. Unrealistic.
3:25
However, this is actually the first step
3:28
to making good money habit. If you
3:30
can visualize a clear goal you can
3:32
meet have to be a plan
3:34
to get there. If
3:37
