David Mcclelland Goals

I tend to set the bar high when it comes to goals. I have a end result in mind and when I don’t reach goals I have set for myself I tend to feel disappointed and it confuses me on ambitions. Goals for me are

I believe that goals can give me strong motivations and guide me in a right way to pursue them. My short-term goal is to

I am a nursing student. I have a great passion for caring for others. My short term goals are to graduate Riverland Community College with my Associate's Degree in Nursing this December. I plan to work very hard and prepare to take my nursing licensure exam at the beginning of next year to become licensed as a registered nurse. I will then transfer to Metropolitan State University to complete my Bachelor's Degree in Nursing.

I find myself very fortunate for the opportunity to explore the topic of goal setting more, as I have often grappled with the concept of professional goals. As a healthcare professional working in a business environment, I routinely

What are goals good for? They help to measure progress. How far have you come? What are the actions you still need to take to get further?

Goals are set so people have a purpose and something they strive to succeed. They help people decide what to do in the present, in order to achieve their future goal; I know that helped me. Going to college and graduating is the first goal that comes to mind. Furthering my education is important to me, the more education I receive in the field I am going into the better off I will be. Family is the most important thing to me, so starting one of my own is a big goal of mine too.

I am working hard on daily basis to do well at work and at times have to work overtime and find a second job for extra money; setting goals is an important step; gives me a clear focus and also help me organize and achieve my goal.

Goals allow you to take control. Instead of living life by chance, you live by choice – you choose

To set a personal goal is to make sure you know where you are going. This is true in sport, in business and indeed in life. In order to be successful, we need to know firstly what it is that we are aiming for.

One of my chief goals is to continue the progression of myself, personally and as a member of society. The cultivation of my character, and myself as a whole, is the most important thing to strive towards, sp that I can contribute to the world around me. Success, to me is a feeling of fulfillment in knowing that I am doing the best that I can do in every aspect of my life. I want to be proactive and able to make a positive impact in my community and the world at large every day. I know that I will make blunders in my life, but I aim for the occasions when I have aided my fellow man and the world around me to outnumber those.

Within yourself, however, you should also have goals. You should not set goals because of outside factors. Sometimes, it’s good to set goals on your own accord.

Throughout my life I have set many goals, starting when I was at a young age setting the goal to build the tallest tour with my blocks at age five, or even set the goal to be the valedictorian of my class in eighth grade. I have learned in life that goals are a very important aspect to succeed in life. Not only do goals give us the motivation to achieve the highest potential we can accomplish, but also give us the confidence to achieve higher goals we did not think we could ever accomplish. As I have grown as an individual, I have realized that my goals have matured, and become more focused. I have had to learn to make a path for myself, to start planning early, and organize my goals. That being said, I will always have to keep in mind the many complications life will throw in my way. Those complications will be stepping stones to help me gain strength in my goals as well. I have set many goals for myself, but I have

In Unit 6 we not only learned about Goal setting, but we also put it to the test. I’ve already had a couple of goals in mind that I’ve thought of as “achievements” but now I realize that they are actually goals. This means that these “achievements” or goals are stepping stones for my future, not only in my career path but also for day to day things that could have a drastic outcome on my future. For instance, one of my goals are to become a photographer for a newspaper which is a long-term goal, and then there are smaller goals, short term goals, like getting my art on various websites and listing my email to hopefully get a business set in place. Even this short term goal, of putting my art on various websites, and listing some of my information, could have very important effects on my future. If I put my art on various websites then I could have chance of a lifetime to be either recognized by business and possibly get a job, or just get the exposure that I will need to move on with my photography in the future. So even if the goal is a long term goal, there are many short term goals that are needed in order to achieve that long term goal, no matter how hard it may seem. Moreover, this shows some of the goal building strategies that we learned in this unit.

One of the methods I can use to help me to be successful is goal setting. I believe this will give my life a direction and allow me to focus on what is important, as mentioned in Chapter one of ‘Studying Engineering by Raymond B. Landis’ and in my 2nd 4MAT. Some of the goals I have set myself are:

You are more likely to pursue goals that you can easily imagine or picture in your mind compared to those that are vague or fuzzy. So create goals that are specific, clear and detailed beacuase it will allow you to imagine it easily. If you have a clear idea of what you really want, you will be more inspired to do everything necessary to accomplish it.
