There are two types of goals, Long-Term Goals or “Life Goals” and Short-Term Goals or “Mini Goals”. Long-Term Goals are objectives you want to accomplish in the future and requires more time to complete them. In most situations, achieving Long-Term Goals involves successfully completing a series of Short-Term Goals. For instance, one of my Long-Term Goal is to earn my PhD. For a moment, let's visualize what smaller steps are involved in accomplishing this lofty goal? First, I need to earn my Bachelor’s Degree and then my Master’s Degree before I can even apply for my PhD. You could say all of that seems overwhelming at the least, but broken down into smaller goals can put earning my PhD back into
“Never give up on a dream just because of the time it takes to accomplish it.” Earl nightingale. The last time I set a goal in seventh grade I accomplished it even tho it took a lot of time and effort.

The hospitality industry is a very lucrative and rewarding career choice. Choosing a career in this field is not for the faint at heart.

However, this paper will go in depth explaining the role of general management, growth of employment, and human
Goals are a part of everyday life. From gaining the strength to get out of bed in the morning to winning that blue medal around your neck, everybody has made a goal once in their life. Sometimes it can be as easy as saying you’re not going to eat that last cupcake on the platter in front of you or as hard as saying “Hello” to that special someone in your life that you find adorable, either way you have made a goal. It’s also important to remember there is short term goals and long term goals. Short term goals are easier to achieve and can be very helpful in leading up to your long term goals. We can even classify our goals into personal goals, academic goals, and professional goals, as well as others.
Everyone has aspirations, some tend to be more steadfast, others last only a short amount of time. A goal is something we aim for, something that we try our best to keep a firm grip on.
“Keep your goals out of reach, but not out of sight.” –Anonymous. All goals in life should be challenging, or a dream you have. Never set the bar too low, to make it easy on yourself, nor set the bar to high, that makes you put yourself under some much stress so it makes it impossible to reach your goal at a healthy state in mater in your life. Having goals in your life helps you picture what you want in the future and what the future has in store for you. There is a difference between the goals you want to happen soon and the goals you want to happen in the future. The goals you what to happen soon are call short term goals. The goals that you have set for your future are called long term goals. Three short term goals I have are, making it to state track, joining NHS and NSHSS, and getting my CNA. A long term goal I have is to graduate from The University of Iowa with a bachelor’s degree in
As one well knows, it is easy to make goals, but it takes a greater determination and effort to reach them.
Les Brown said, “Your goals are the road maps that guide you and show you what is possible for your life.” Every goal in life is determined by the actions we do now. Experiences and feeling have a lesson to teach us something new that could, later on, be applied in the future for our own good. Since I started living with my grandma when I was six years old, I had wanted to be a doctor because I wanted to help people. Activities in school are contributing their bit on the person I want to be, similarly to those special ones that will help me a lot through college too.

Yet, no shortage seems to exist in the historical and contemporary landscapes of inexorable failures. For this reason it should be of little surprise that a crystallized goal represents the underpinning of the majority of successful comprehensive decisions. Examining success stories from highly exceptional or motivated individuals provides additional clues. These people unequivocally set their sights on ambitious goals; attain a spot on an Olympic team, becoming a professional athlete, attending medical school, law school, or one of the service academies. In the case of athletics one might begin before adolescence. Still others will buy homes, start businesses, invest money or get married and have families. Successful individuals in all walks of life are also unquestionably among the hardest workers and goal-oriented; attaining remarkable accomplishments, completing projects, or success through well-defined goals and objectives. An unambiguous purpose, evidenced by a clear and concise goal, facilitates effective plan development by providing a foundation for implementing all relevant decisions; those strategic and not. Unless goals become finalized they become an effort in futility or an aberration rather than a semblance of

As a child and even as a teenager one tends to make dreams and set goals for life. On occasion these goals are far stretched and sometimes even fairy-tale like, we tend to see life through a rose-colored glass, not taking into account the many sidetracks life throws our way. At that stage in life our goals tend to be less focused and somewhat unreachable. However, the process of growing up, or maturing, tends organized and center our goals, we learn to make compromises and set goals for our goals. There are different types of goals, short term and long term. I have learned to separate the many goals I have into three main categories: family, professional and personal.
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.
