TOPIC 2: Goal Setting

Welcome back to my blog! 

Recently I learned a new topic entitled GOAL SETTING by Madam Noor Amira Syazwani Abd Rahman. This topic is about how to set a goal in our life and learning management system. Before the lecture starts, we did a sharing session. Madam shared with us about her student life in university, how she able to maintain her cgpa and mostly she shared her journey to success. She is not only succeed in her academic, but she is also succeed in her life as she already became a mother 👰👶💕
I would certainly make use of her tips in my life in order to achieve my dreams. Now back to our topic...

WHAT IS GOAL??? Is it this goal??????

Apparently, not that goal!!! but......

Goal is the object of a person's ambition or effort; an aim or desired result.

Successful goals are Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic and Timely (SMART). If we want to achieve our goal, we have to have a specific goal. Goals should be simplistically written and clearly define what you are going to do. For example, I want to be a great teacher. That is a specific goal. Other than that, measurable. Goals should be measurable so that you have a concrete evidence that you have accomplished the goal. Yes, by being a teacher, it is measurable for my goal. Then, achievable. It should stretch you slightly so you feel challenged, but defined well enough so that you can achieve them. It is not impossible for me to be a teacher. That is why it called achievable dream. A dream that you can achieve as nothing is impossible guys! Realistic and timely are the other characteristic of goal. Goals should measure outcomes, not the activities. Goal also should be self-chosen. You deserve to determine your own goal in your life! Don`t let anyone do it for you. Goal is important as it can help us motivate ourselves to become better in life. We can improve our academic performance in university by setting goals.

How to achieve our goals?

Set Goals That Motivate You. When you set goals for yourself, it is important that they motivate you: Make sure that they are important to you, and there is value in achieving them.

Set SMART Goals. Set the highest goal that you want to achieve in life. 

Set Goals in Writing. You can write down your dream at your board or in your phone. 

Make an Action Plan. Walk that talk! Work hard to achieve your desired dream.

Stick With It! Have a certain goal in your life is better than have uncertain goal.

In the class, we were given some questions about our goals. One of the questions is what is your academic goal? My academic goal is to achieve above 3.5 pointer every semester. With that, I will be able to graduate with ANC (anugerah naib dekan). I am determine to make my parents proud of my achievement in the university. Just like how my sister did. She is my inspiration to push myself to the limit in order to become better in life 💗. The challenges that I have to overcome are bad influence from friends and lack of motivation. At times, friends would influence me to not study and downgrade my dreams. This can cause me to be uncertain with my what I want to achieve in my life. Luckily, I have a supportive parents who are always be my backbone and be my great listener when I down. It instantly boosts my confidence to reach my stars in my life 💫😉. 

Last but not least, don`t ever give up on your dream no matter how challenging it is. We have to be brave and strong. Set your mind for success and train your mind to see the good in every situation. You need to remember why you started and find a way to keep it going. Don`t give up just because of what someone said, but use that as a motivation to push yourself harder. If it doesn`t challenge you, it won`t change you. 😄🙆💞
