A "stretch goal" is an attempt to accomplish seemingly impossible results. Unsurprisingly, they're often unfulfilled.

Two studies found that employees with more #stretchGoals exhibited more #fear of failure, #anxiety, and even #unethical #work behaviors.

A quotation from Goethe

Higher aims are in themselves more valuable, even if unfulfilled, than lower ones quite attained.
 
[Die höheren Forderungen sind an sich schon schikbarer, auch unerfüllt, als niedrige, ganz erfüllte.]

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749-1832) German poet, statesman, scientist
Sprüche in Prosa: Maximen und Reflexionen [Proverbs in Prose: Maxims and Reflections] (1833) [tr. Saunders (1893), “Literature and Art,” #500]
