What is goal and why is it important for your success? A goal is combination of our aims and objectives so that we can achieve our desired result and measure our performance too with the standards we have set for ourselves. The goal gives us direction to work towards success and our required objectives.
How to find your goals? Goals are derived from your passion and commitment towards your aim. Students can know here to identify your goals by analysing these most basic but important questions mentioned below –
Ques: What is important for you and why? What all people and things are valuable to you?
List out everything valuable for you like your academics, extracurricular such as dance, singing, music, sports or important people in your life like your parents, siblings, friends, teachers, or even your pets. Also, the reasons or things and people like your parents who are your ideal because of good values and things they do for you or hobbies like dance, reading, writing because it relieves your stress and help you express yourself and your talent.
Ques: What made you feel important in your life? Or what were your past achievements which boosted your morale?
Students need to review things that boosted their morale in the past like good performance in a subject which they felt was difficult to pass and praising by parents or teachers for your achievement in any sport or activity or winning any tournament and everyone cheered you for your performance. It could be even little success which made you feel good such as you helped your friend in homework or you helped a disabled or old person which gave you happiness in return. All these achievements help you to do better and become strength of motivation and self appreciation/respect.
How students can improve their overall skills?
