The bullseye, or bull's-eye, is the [[centre]] of a '''target''' (worth 10 points in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Target_archery target archery] or 50 points in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darts darts]), and by extension the name given to any shot that hits the bullseye. In darts, a double bullseye is the centre (small) bullseye and counts as 50 points.

The word bullseye can therefore refer to any [[design]] or [[pattern]] featuring prominent [[concentric]] [[circles]], [[visually]] suggesting an archery target. Consequently, "hitting the bullseye" became a term for an unexpectedly [[good]] [[success]].

==Quote==
At those times when in your life you feel you are not hitting the mark, at that time be [[gentle]] with yourself, love yourself then. [[Love]] your humanness. love those [[failures]]! For it is in loving these failures that you help them to reverse. You see, if you look at the broad [[picture]], those things in your life, those things where you do not hit the mark can be like two [[enemies]]. And if you are always trying to tell the enemy that he is wrong, then it only makes the [[problem]] bigger. But if you can [[love]] your enemy and [[understand]] your enemy, what happens? His [[defenses]] are gone, for you cannot fight [[love]]. So do not fight yourselves in those [[moments]]. Rather, use the greatest [[weapon]] of all, love. Love empowers. Love brings about [[change]].[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=1992-05-24-Duty,_Service#Love]
