Aspirations are fine things, in fact, I think they are necessary to keep you on your toes, allowing you to hit goals and get better as time passes.

However, it's one thing to have aspirations and go for them, and totally something else altogether to have aspirations but insist to achieve these goals by doing things in the old way.

I mean, if you were right all a long, then you would have achieved your goals a long time ago, so why even bother declaring goals when you have no intentions whatsoever to shed your old skins?

A snake who intends to grow bigger would shed his old skin in order to get bigger. You can't cling on to your pasts and your methodology and 'get there'. It's just impossible.
