Question: *My mother always told me  

To try my best  

And all the things I wish for  

Will come to me  

But I’m standing here  

And I know  

The better I do my puzzling  

The further I am from my goal  

Which is:  

Downloading the latest movies (4)  

and making a diamond, (8)  

Grabbing a drink with my mates and colleagues (4)  

and learning one of Newton’s laws in a small place. (8)*

What is my goal?

**Hint 1:**

> 
>  The last stanza is ment to give you two words. The first word is hinted in lines 1 and 3, and the second word is hinted in lines 2 and 4.
> 
> 
> 

**Hint 2:**

> 
>  If the tag **meta-puzzle** was defined differently, I would use it for this puzzle (this is the piece that links the first 2 stanza to the solution of the third).
> 
>

**Hint 3:**

> 
>  *"When you say 'yes' to others, be sure you are not saying 'no' to yourself"* - This is sooo not true for me!
>

**Hint 4:**

> 
>  A small place can be like one m^2.

Answer: 
I think the answer is

> 
>  Peer pressure

First stanza

> 
>  Your mother advising you to do your best and not give in to peer pressure
> 
> 
> 

Second stanza

> 
>  There is a badge on stack exchange called the [peer pressure](https://puzzling.stackexchange.com/help/badges/38/peer-pressure) badge. You obtain it for deleting a post of your own that scores -3 or lower. If you do well with your puzzling, you will always get a positive score and never achieve this badge. So, you won't fulfil your ambition. This relates directly to Hint 2 and the idea that this should be a meta-puzzle.

I thought a lot and here is my answer (this is only a hypothesis).

> 
> Downloading the latest movies

means

> 
>  Download the latest movies is talking about the movie in which the actor Lou **Diamond** Phillips appears. The last movie in which he acted was "Adverse", in which Thomas Ian Nicholas, who is known to have acted in the movie "**Rules of Attraction"** also acted. And this is already connected to the continuation of the riddle .

the last line:

> 
> and learning Newton’s laws in a small place.
> 
> 
> 

And the explanation of the line before the last:

> 
> Grabbing a drink with my mates and colleagues
> 
> 
> 

mean to:

> 
>  The movie "Adverse" tells about Dr. Cruz (Lou Diamond Phillips) who works as a parole officer and tries to prevent Ethan(The main character) from going back to his old habits that are drugs and duties that are somewhat like drinking alcohol, addictive and difficult to get out of.
>

If so, in my opinion, your goal is to be:

> 
> **a parole officer** like Dr. Cruz ('cause you want to find a diamond )
