Kaeden said that achieving your goal could be preventing someone else from achieving their goals and that has a lot to do with the chance factor I mentioned before. you can't control what the goals of others are so if say, someone else who's just as qualified as you gets that promotion you wanted that's your bad luck. you both had the same goals but them achieving theirs prevented you from achieving yours.

"Why are some successful while others fail to achieve their goals"
There are many reasons why people succeed but a lot of it is simply chance. Someone born into a rich family would have a better chance of getting the job they want because they would be able to afford the education and wouldn't have the same financial struggles as someone else might. With that though is the fact that the same rich kid's parents may have expectations for the child meaning they would be achieving someone else's goals and not their own. This is similar to Juliet's situation where her father wanted her to marry Paris but she wanted to be with Romeo. Had she chosen to marry Paris she would be achieving her father's goals rather than her own. But then in that same situation is another reason for success or failure, making the decisions that will bring you closer to achieving your goals even if those are difficult decisions. Juliet could have simply married Paris to please her father but she instead chose to be with romeo even though she was risking everything for it. She may not have succeeded in the end but the decision she made brought her closer to success than marrying Paris would have.

the postal service didn't get the letter saying what Juliet did to Romeo so maybe it's their fault they died however, they got it as close as they could (stuck it to his door) which is their job meaning it was simply bad luck that Romeo happened to not notice it.

the purpose of putting Paris in certain versions of the play is to give another reason to keep them apart. it's not just "our families hate each other so you can't be with Romeo" it's "we've arranged another man to marry you so you can't be with Romeo"

after Tybalt's death Juliet has mixed feelings about Romeo. He caused a death in her family but she still desperately wants to believe he's good. In the passage she keeps going back and forth between saying bad things about him and good things.

Juliet: though I am sold, I have not been enjoyed

I'm sorry, what. that sounds more like he bought her, not married her.

romeo & Juliet is a comedy and at the time comedy meant a story with a happy ending but they die so how is it happy? I believe that the story is actually Friar Lawrence's success story in which he uses their love to achieve his goals because the problem introduced at the beginning is that the two families are fighting and the fighting is ended by their death which is almost directly caused by Friar Lawrence.

I think this is gonna be my essay!

the movie paints a very different picture of the story from what reading the play did. it takes place in a different time period and they seem to insert many period appropriate explanations for things like a gun called sword instead of an actual sword.

"Thus from my lips, by yours, my sin is purged.
Then have my lips the sin that they have took.
Sin from thy lips? O trespass sweetly urged!
Give me my sin again".

they're saying that kissing is a sin because at the time that sort of thing was very scandalous.

"let lips do what hands do;" - Romeo

It means that he wants to put their lips together like hands in prayer. 🙏
