SETTING UP A GOAL

                             

 

What is a goal:  A goal is the desire to achieve or aim at something you foresee or dream of in the far future. According to dictonary.com, a goal is an objective or target that someone is trying to reach or achieve. This is something you're ready towards achieving them. 

There are basically two (2) types of goal which are: Short term goal and Long term goal.

Short term goal: A short term goal is a breakdown of achievement points you tend to aim at in order to get higher. Short term goal can be setting up a goal to get A's in every semester or setting up a goal to get a particular GP(Grade Point) in a semester or session. 

                       

 

Long term goal: long term goals come later in the future after successfully achieving your short term goal. You can also decide to break them down into smaller short term goals. Like they say, a journey of a thousand miles  begins with a single step, so also with a short term goal you can soar high to attain your long term goals. For example, you can set up a main long term goal of graduating with a CGP (cumulative grade point) of 4.65, before you can attain that, we all know you ought to work hard towards achieving this, therefore, you have to create a short term goal of  having an average GPA of 4.86 or higher each semester before aiming for your long term goal of 4.65.
