Assalamualaikum & hi guys! Alhamdulillah we meet again this post, thanks to Allah s.w.t ☺❤ So, as you can see the picture above, today's topic is going to be about....................... goals! So, have you set you life goals? I do have a lot of goals, but i am not going to write my goals in this post (okay maybe some but not all) because if I did, I am sure I won't finish writing this post. Okay enough with the talk, let's get started!

So, what is goal? Goal is something we set in our mind to gain or achieve. It is really important especially for students to set goals in their life. By having a goal, we will put more effort in doing something.
CHARACTERISTICS OF GOALS
To be useful and motivating, the goals you set must have some important characteristics;
1. Goals should be self- chosen. Goals that are set by your parents, teachers or friends may not always work for you. You need to determine or choose your own goals; you need to decide what you want to accomplish. If you set your own goals, you will be more motivated to achieve them.
2. Goals should be moderately challenging. One way to moderately challenging goals is to consider what you have done in the past. Goals can always be revised, if you discover you can achieve more than you originally set out to accomplish.
3. Goals should be realistic. Think about whether your goals are attainable. To set realistic goals, you must carefully evaluate your chances to achieving that goal.
4. Goals should be measurable. A goal is measurable if you can determine whether you reached it. It would be difficult to determine whether you achieved your goal if you just wanted to "do well in a course." It would be much easier to measure you success if you had aimed for an A, or a B.
5. Goals should be specific. The more specific your goals are, the more motivated you'll be to achieve them. For example: Getting an A in Financial Accounting is a specific goal; while, getting a "good grade" in Financial Accounting is not.
6. Goals should be finite/ limits/ bounds. Goals need to have a limited time frame. For example, you can do the paper on Monday even though the due date is on Thursday, so you can prepare the for tests or exam on Thursday.
7. Goals should be positive. Negative goal statements tend to make you feel that you can't really be successful, they aren't motivating. You'll always do better if you are working toward something - when you have a positive attitiude. Avoid using words like try, think, hope, and should when you describe your goals.
LONG- TERM AND SHORT- TERM GOALS
Long- term goals are the objectives you set for yourself for the end of the year, for four years or five years from now, or even for a lifetime. For example, I want to be a professional accountant since I was a kid.
Short- term goals can be set for an hour from now, for the end of the day, week, month, or term (semester). For example, short- term goals include things like completing an assignment, writing an essay, getting a B in a course, getting off probation, or making the Reading List.
ACADEMIC AND PERSONAL GOALS
Academic goals relate to your course work. They include things like going to class, completing assignments, and preparing for exams.
Personal goals, like making new friends, participating in clubs or sporting events, exercising, or even doing your laundry.
Five- Step Approach to setting goals
STEP 1 : Tentative Goal Statement
Example: I want at least a B in Financial Accounting
STEP 2: List of Obstacles
Example: I have a trouble following the lecture, and I struggle to take notes.
STEP 3: List of Resources
Example: I'll read the chapter before the lecture, I'll rewrite my notes afterward.
STEP 4: Revised Goal Statement
Example: I'll try to earn B in Financial Accounting
STEP 5: Polished Goal Statement
Example: I will achieve a B in Financial Accounting this semester.
