You achieve your goal only to find out that it's not what you wanted!

My favorite one is the one that involves the turtle and the sprinter. Let's say that you start both the turtle and the runner at the same time on a 1/4 mile straight-line course. The turtle can cover 1/20 of a mile per second; the runner can travel half the distance to the finish line every second. Who wins? . . . . The turtle. Why? After the first second, the turtle has gone 1/5 of the way, and the runner has gone half way. After the second second, the turtle has gone 2/5 of the way, and the runner has gone 3/4 of the way. After the third second, the turtle has gone 3/5 of the way, and the runner has gone 7/8 of the way. After the fourth second, the turtle has gone 4/5 of the way, and the runner has gone 15/16 of the way. After the fifth, the turtle is done, and the runner has gone 31/32 of the way. The turtle wins! This is the paradox of always dividing something in half; in theory, you always have a half left to divide further. So the paradox part also includes the fact that the sprinter NEVER reaches the finish line.
