Goal Beliefs

I have chosen the movie “ Miracle” as an illustration of an individual, Herb Brooks, fulfilling the parameters of Robert House’s Path-Goal Theory .

Motivation in sports is why people do what they do. It is also the direction and intensity of one’s effort and determination to achieve. The more motivated one is, the more likely one is to succeed.

In Chapter 1 of Eliyahu Goldratt’s book The Goal, we are introduced to Alex Rogo a mere plant manager, whom going into work that early morning is already faced with issues. While the reading continues we are introduced to a group of frustrated characters including, Dempsey, Ray, Martinez, and an hourly worker Tony. Bill Peach the vice president of this plant has decided to come in early causing a ruckus in the plant. Peach is frustrated because customer order 41427 is late and decided to take matters into his own hands, by threatening Tony's job in which he has no power of doing so. Rogo now has to face the problem and handle it himself. As the chapter continues we see many different types of writing in the workplace mentioned and how it is utilized. Chapter 1 of The Goal shows us how purchase orders, grievance forms, and efficiencies are relevant in the workplace.

Beilock said, “In other words, a student’s perspective can determine success or failure.” Beilock also said,” How we interpret these reactions predict whether we will choke or thrive.” Right now you're choking on these math classes that can help you thrive. So excuse those bad habits you have. Since your actions are negative, there must be some changes in your confidence and mindset beliefs.

In Eliyahu Goldratt’s novel “The Goal: A Process of Ongoing Improvement”, he tells a story about a man going through hard times, in both his work life and personal life. Alex works in a manufacturing plant that is barely staying afloat, and his boss has left it up to him to keep the business running with a three-month time span to do it in. Even though “The Goal: A Process of Ongoing Improvement” is just a story, it is still very relatable to businessmen, businesswomen, and students. The three categories of constraints that are shown in the story are knowledge, material, and supplier.

Extreme Sports yes could be dangerous, and yes can be a life changer, but what you think about it is from your own perspective. You don’t need to go to the people who love what they do and ruin their dreams and wishes, because you don’t like what they do, just because you think it’s too dangerous or scary. That’s what YOU think! Leave them it’s their life not yours, so don’t making your likes your dislikes. Respect them enough to say “ I’ll support you no matter what you choose”. Encourage them instead of discouraging

In this world, a lot of people want to become sports players, Musicians. Many people attempt to succeed by creating goals that’s high, but there are risks involved with it that can affect your goal during your voyage. This has been a problem for those who have ended up failing because they tried to reach a goal which is less likely of being accomplished, and the result would affect them.Most people during the Journey might lose hope in their dream because it might seem impossible to meet.Therefore aiming for higher goals can result in more failures than lower goals.

As a child playing school with the neighborhood children, I had always dreamed of becoming a teacher. Since the first day of kindergarten, watching the teacher teach us how to do basic things like counting, writing, and reading is what interested me in teaching. Throughout my elementary and secondary education I became even more interested in the teaching field. I thought that being a teacher would be the best thing in the world because a teacher has an immense amount of knowledge. Now I am in college where I am currently studying to be a secondary mathematics teacher. There are several reasons why I want to become a teacher, but the two most important reasons are to make a difference and to

Often times in the business world, organizations become so fixated on the goals they set, that when they begin to go wrong, an organization will invest more into that goal instead of looking for a different path. Oliver Burkeman’s book, “The Antidote: Happiness for People Who Can’t Stand Positive Thinking” devotes a whole chapter to the importance or lack thereof of setting goals. In his book, he tells a story of Chris Kayes who was on the foothills of Mt. Everest at the same time the tragedy that took the lives of eight climbers depicted in the book, “In Thin Air.” Kayes observed even through this

Universal goals. The author believes that there happens to be not just one condition in an individual’s lifespan that characterizes their issues, but various dynamics that play a role such as matters of multiculturalism. Subsequently, these include: religion/spirituality, economic background, sexual orientation, gender identity, education, ethnic/racial identity, lifespan challenges, trauma, family background, physical characteristics, language, and where one resides (Ivey, Ivey, & Zalaquett, 2014). Therefore, the universal goals of the author’s theoretical approach are to help the client develop insight and raise their consciousness to view their concerns from all angles in order to adapt or accept where they are emotionally, spiritually,

Olympic gymnast Nastia Liukin, finds that, “It’s important to strive to achieve something on a day-to-day basis”. Although she makes yearly and monthly goals, she finds that the little goals like getting a flip or movement of a routine right is a good starting point to achieving a monumental goal like perfecting a complete routine. Daniela Silivas, who is also an Olympic gymnast, believes that, “part of the love of the sport is feeling real pride in accomplishments big and small, in charting one’s progress through the hard work”. There may be many failures in achieving a goal, but there are also many little achievements that deserve recognition. Liukin and Silivas, both believe that the little goals are the stepping stones into achieving the major goals. Also that goals are crucial for staying motivated. This way of motivation is an effective form because it celebrates the little things, which people can focus on better, and makes them want to do better. I believe that setting goals is a great way for people to stay motivated, but it does not work for all people. Some people may not be able to motivate themselves to try to accomplish a

In this case, principles of Goal setting principles have been applied to represent an alternative to working harder, which is working smarter. The citation below shows has been achieved:

When Rabindranath Tagore said “You can’t cross the sea merely by standing and staring at the water” he meant that people can’t expect things to just happen if you just stand there just waiting for something to happen by not doing anything. My interpretation of the quote is that you are not able to succeed at something that you won't put in any effort because in the metaphor you are not able to cross the sea by just standing there, staring at water. The metaphor relates to extreme sports because usually to participate in extreme sports you need practice and determination. Some people will go into doing extreme sports without practicing or have the complete determination and also concentration. Going into something as dangerous as extreme sports you need to have all three; practice, determination, and concentration.

Ask yourself a few questions next time you’re faced with a decision on how to spend your time and energy.
