There are two pieces of news for you: one bad and one good. Let’s start with the bad one: 70% of people never actually achieve the goals they set for themselves. The good news is that you can easily become one of those 30%, the “chosen ones”, those rare species who reach them.

If you happen to find yourself reading this article, you must enjoy Hyperion by Dan Simmons, a classic science fiction novel published in 1989 dealing with multiple characters from different timelines. Its structure is often described as similar to the 14th century The Canterbury Tales by Geoffrey Chaucer. This is a fairly decent reason to get acquainted with it, even if you're not much into sci-fi as a genre. So if you have finished Hyperion and now search for something like this, this article is for you.
