Through careful examination and realistic ideas, we can set goals and targets that are achievable, but if not, then disappointment and frustration become commonplace and targets are abandoned for fear of never being achievable.

Why this track is called “Dustin Hoffman” is beyond me…but it really doesn’t matter as it’s a funked up gem of a tune. It’s a great summer track, so turn it up and get moving…I am off to search the internet for clues as to why it has this crazy name…
