When learners are setting goals, the master educator stresses that:

• A. Success is not passive
• B. Success is automatic
• C. Success comes from luck
• D. Success is only for the lucky

Answer: (A)

Setting goals is about taking intentional action. When learners set goals, success comes from what they do—defining clear steps, choosing effective strategies, seeking feedback, and staying accountable. That’s why emphasis on success not being passive fits best: outcomes result from purposeful effort, planning, and persistence rather than waiting for things to happen. The other ideas imply little or no personal action, which doesn’t align with how goals are actually achieved. By focusing on active engagement, learners build the momentum and skills needed to reach their targets.
