There are three kinds of goals: short-range, medium-range and
long-range goals. Short-range goals are what usually deal with
current activities, which we can apply on a daily basis. Such goals can be
achieved in a week or less. or two weeks, or possible months. It should be
remembered that just as a building is no stronger than its foundation, our
long-term goals cannot amount to very much without the achievement of solid
short-term goals. Upon completing our short-term goals, we should date the
occasion and then add new short-range goals that will build on those that have
been completed. The intermediate goals build on the foundation
of the short-range goals. They might deal with just one term of school or the
entire school year, or they could even extend for several years. Any time you
move a step at a time, you should never allow yourself to become discouraged or
over-whelmed. As you complete each step, you will enforce the belief in your
ability to grow and succeed. And as your list of completion dates grows, your
motivation and desire will increase. Long-range goals may be
related to our dreams of the future. They might cover five years or more; Life
is not a static thing. We should never allow a long-term goal to limit us or our
course of action. Goals Variety of goals:
