Happy New Year!!!!...Ok, I know I'm late -_-;

Hi Guys,


First and foremost I want to say Happy New Year!!!! It's 2014 guys! It's time to set some goals, or if you already have, then strive to achieve them. Do you have any Goals/resolutions for the New Year? Remember guys, make sure your desires are ATTAINABLE and NOT FAR-FETCHED. Your goals should be very reasonable and realistic. Always make sure you set short term and long term goals. Short term goals will actually help you to obtain your long term ones.

For example, At one time, one of my long term goals was to go to South Korea and teach English. I knew there were certain things I had to achieve first and I knew it was going to take me some time to achieve it. In the meantime, I set some smaller short-term goals related to it:


TEACH ENGLISH IN SOUTH KOREA:

- Obtain a Bachelor's in any Discipline;
    o I enrolled in college. I made it a goal to complete a certain number of credits per semester to reach my goal at a ideal time
- I brushed up on my Korean;
    o I took about 30 minutes out my day to learn Korean. I set a certain time (Like a few months down the line) to know and communicate decent, conversational Korean
 - I studied the culture;
    o I wanted to make sure I at least knew certain Holidays, Customs/Practices, Festivals, Tourist Attractions, etc.for future reference
 - Research "Hotspots/Fares";
    o I made sure I got familiar with Hotels, Restaurants, Shopping Centers, Airfare, etc.


These are the short term goals I set. It may not seem short term to some but they are to me. Which is OK. To me Short-term can be anywhere between a few days to a few months. Long-term can be achieved between a few months to a few years. Whatever your definitions is of Long and Short is completely up to you. Just make sure you strive to achieve these goals. Life is full of goal setting, believe or not. We set goals daily and unconsciously achieve them. Setting goals and trying to achieve can be discouraging sometimes, but don't give up. It does help to write down your goals. But don't just grab a sheet of paper and write them down. Decorate it! Bling it Out! Go Nuts! Make it Stand out. Make it very attractive to look at, you'll be more inspired that way. Try posting the goals on the Fridge,The back of your bedroom door, Your desk at the Office, ANYWHERE. Do it so you will be able to look at it everyday so you won't forget to work hard every day to strive for them.

And you'll you will be hitting your goals in no time!

Happy 2014 everyone! Make it your year!
