“What you get by achieving your goals is not as important as what you become by achieving your goals.” – Zig Ziglar; A quote that I had come across one day during my senior year of high school, while posting a daily quote on Facebook to give others motivation to get through the day. Yet this was very hypocritical of me seeing that I could barely gather up enough motivation for myself each day. At that time I didn 't realize how much that one quote would mean to me but it turned out to be a quote that got me through a lot of doubtful times. There were only three months left of my senior year, and my grades were not looking the greatest, compared to someone who use to be a “straight A” student. I was so close to the end and time seem to be …show more content…
So that’s what I did in the smallest but somewhat meaningful way, each morning I’d post a quote on Facebook reminding people the things life had to offer, I was being such a big hypocrite. Maybe deep down I was doing it for myself, hoping one day the smallest quote would inspire me to make a change in my life. One day that in fact happened, I didn’t know why such an unexpected quote stuck with me so much, possibly I was just hoping for the smallest little light to help me see a better path, because I was at the bottle of the barrel. As I highlighted the quote “What you get by achieving your goals is not as important as what you become by achieving your goals” it just seemed to ring like a door bell in my head, replaying over and over. Goals and dreams were something I use to hold on to so much to get me through everything and they suddenly became nothing to me but why? Later that night I thought to myself if I could just set one goal to accomplish what would it be? It was to finish off my senior strong. And I …show more content…
So I set a goal to have just that by May of this year. Currently I am enrolled in my second year of college, and my major is Advertising & Graphics Design, something I know I will always be happy doing. My girlfriend and I have been together for four years and are currently in progress of getting a new place together, though she may think that’s the only goal we have right now, I have an even bigger goal set in place for us. Things are going great, and I have a more positive outlook on things now. Though sometimes I still find myself getting down, I just get through it goal by goal because goals have shaped in into a better person day by
“Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts”
Some people get so caught up in the dreams and fantasies of life that they forget what can actually be achieved. They set goals so high and think they have all the power in the world to obtain a goal that ultimately fails. One may pour all of one’s money into the goal, or every second of one’s day, or every ounce of energy in one’s body just to fail. Everything one ever wished for may be simply unattainable. It leads to the ultimate feeling of disappointment. In 2012, Presidential candidate, Mitt Romney, felt disappointment and sadness when he lost the election. During some interviews after losing the election Romeny expressed his emotions after losing all that he worked for, “We were convinced we would win… It 's hard,
¨Most of the important things in this world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at all.¨ was a quote by Dale Carnegie a accomplished American writer and lecturer. I believe one of the themes of the quote is perseverance and to never give up no matter how hard or difficult something is. I also believe one of the other themes of the quote is determination and to keep doing what you want and doing and don't listen to people that say you can't do something.
Using my social care work placement (Sense Scotland) as a reference, I have compiled a report which fully covers effective team working in care settings. The report consists of a three-part structure, which documents: the factors which contribute to good team working, the importance of interpersonal skills, and the contribution of performance review and goal-setting to the success of any organisation.

Today people should have goals for themselves. When we graduate high school that shouldn't be the end for ourselves. Each one of us should take a chance of college, I have met many people myself that regret their younger years because they didn't go to college. Instead of ending our goals we should extend them to where we don't reach all of them till our older years.
Setting goals is the most important thing you can do in your life. Without goal's you are going to have no direction, no ambition to be successful, no drive to stay in school, and trouble finding a career that will provide for you. Without these three things, achieving your goals is going to be one of the toughest tasks in the years to come.
Many people tend to set goals. They can set goals for their personal life, academics, or even for their professional lives. You can literally set a goal for pretty much anything you can imagine. I believe that people should set goals, they help you stay focused and want to do better for the future. Goals change all of the time though, because of a lot of different reasons, maybe you found that one thing just really is not what you want to do with your life, so you find something else to do. To me that is just how life is, my goals will most likely change as I am getting older and trying to find what I want to do with the rest of my life.
This was the lesson I learnt from my father, an unceasing learner and a person who would never give up no matter how many and how difficult the obstacles may be. Having understood from him that success is a moving target, the years of my life with my family have inculcated in me a desire to achieve perfection.
What are goals? Goals are targets that you take step. Setting goals is important because they push you to improve yourself and help you guide yourself through life. “If you don't know where you are going, you'll end up someplace else”. ~David P. Campbell. 1 I think that everyone needs to set goals. It doesn’t matter who you are, you need goals to move forward in life and to improve yourself as a person. When setting goals you can set long-term goals and short-term goals. Long-term goals are goals that take a longer time to accomplish and require a lot of planning. An example of a long-term goal is starting your own business. This requires a lot of planning and savings. A short-term goal is a goal that does not take as much time to complete
Ethics is basically a set of moral values and principles of one’s own or an organization. It is diagnosticating between right and wrong matter. Ethics is derived from a Greek word ‘ethos’ which means character or habits. ”Ethics is not definable, it is not implementable, because it is not conscious, it involves not only our thinking, but also our feeling.(Setzar 1709-1784)”.However, ethical values could be different among different individuals or personalities as everyone has their own precedence in life and also they have different cultures, religion , nation and nurturing according to which they prioritize their values. Moreover, these ethical values play a vast role in attaining certain goals in life either personal or professional. Goal is basically a result or achievement that one tends to acquire in life. But one shouldn’t earn his/ her goal on the cost of their ethical values. I believe that everyone should have specific plans to achieve desired goals in life but one should always emphasize on his/her own ethical values while making these plans to achieve goals. Many people however set a certain time limit to fetch their goal. I have various goals in my life that I wish to accomplish in my life. First of all I would like to discuss my personal goals.

Growing up, goals change dramatically. A five-year olds goal is to get the coloring page done. As people go through school, goals obviously change. A freshman’s goal may be to learn the school so he or she doesn’t get lost. Senior’s goals grow to finding where they will spend the next four years or what kind of career they will grow upon. Then, of course goals continue to change as people get older and enter into different stages of life. In this essay, I am going to talk about how my goals in different aspects of my life and how they have transformed, what they are currently, and what they may turn into in the future.
