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.
