Goals(目標(biāo))
Goals
There are three kinds of goals: short-term, mediumterm and long-term goals.
Short-term goals are those that usually deal with current activities, which we can apply on a daily basis. Such goals can be achieved in a week or less, or two weeks, or possiblymonths. It should be remembered that just as a building is no stronger than its foundation, our long-term goals cannot amount to very much without the achievement of solid short-term goals. Upon completing our short-term goals, we should date the occasion and then add new shortterm goals that will build on those that have been completed.
The medium-term goals build on the foundation of the short-term goals. They might deal with just one term of school or the entire school year, or they could even extend for several years. Any time you move a step at a time, you should never allow yourself to become discouraged or overwhelmed. As you complete each step, you will enforce the belief in your ability to grow and succeed. And as your list of completion dates grow, your motivation and desire will increase.
Long-term goals may be related to our dreams of the future. They might cover five years or more. Life is not a static thing. We should never allow a long-term goal to limit us or our course of action.
目標(biāo)
目標(biāo)有三種：短期目標(biāo)、中期目標(biāo)和長期目標(biāo)。
短期目標(biāo)通常著眼于目前的活動，人們可以以天為單位，逐日實(shí)施。這樣的目標(biāo)可以在一周或不到一周、或兩周乃至數(shù)月內(nèi)實(shí)現(xiàn)。人們不應(yīng)忘記，沒有堅(jiān)固的基礎(chǔ)就沒有堅(jiān)固的建筑物；同樣，不去扎扎實(shí)實(shí)地實(shí)現(xiàn)短期目標(biāo)，我們就不可能在實(shí)現(xiàn)長期目標(biāo)上有大的作為。在完成短期目標(biāo)之后，我們應(yīng)當(dāng)標(biāo)明日期，并在已實(shí)現(xiàn)的目標(biāo)基礎(chǔ)上規(guī)劃新的短期目標(biāo)。
中期目標(biāo)以短期目標(biāo)為基礎(chǔ)。中期目標(biāo)可能涉及一個學(xué)期或整整一學(xué)年，甚至可能延續(xù)數(shù)年之久。無論何時每一次你只能向前邁一步，絕不能使自己泄氣或者把自己壓得喘不過氣來。這樣每完成每一步，你就會增強(qiáng)對自己發(fā)展和成功能力的信心。隨著列出的目標(biāo)實(shí)現(xiàn)日期表的加長，你的動力和要求也會增加。
長期目標(biāo)可能與我們對未來的憧憬有關(guān)。長期目標(biāo)可能跨越五年或者更長時間。人生不是靜止不變的。我們決不應(yīng)當(dāng)讓長期目標(biāo)束縛我們的手腳，限制我們的行為。
