People who don't have goals don't have to fight to achieve their dreams, don't have to work hard to achieve their expectations, and don't have to challenge to surpass their limits. They just need to settle for the status quo, go with the flow, and enjoy the blandness and tastelessness of life. They will not encounter any difficulties and will not suffer any setbacks because they have nothing to lose and nothing to pursue. They never fail because they never try.
Doesn't this kind of life sound beautiful?If you think so, then congratulations, you have found a way of life that is simplest and maybe you will feel happy, content, and comfortable. But do you really think that such a life is meaningful?Do you really think that such a life is worth it?Do you really think that such a life is fulfilling?
If you have a little bit of sanity, you will know that such a life is a waste, a laziness, and an escape. People who don't have goals, not only won't they fail, they won't succeed, they won't improve, and they won't contribute. They just live in their own small world, isolated from the outside world, out of touch with society, and backward from the times. They don't care about their own development, they don't care about the feelings of others, they don't care about how the world changes. They are a group of selfish, withdrawn, ignorant people whose existence has no meaning, whose lives have no value, and whose personalities have no dignity.
Goal is the direction of life, the driving force of life, and the meaning of life. With a goal, talent will have pursuit, with pursuit, talent will have motivation, with motivation, talent will have action, with action, talent will have results, with results, talent will have feedback, with feedback, talent will improve, with improvement, talent will grow, with growth, talent will have achievements, with achievements, talent will have happiness. Goal, make life full of challenges, full of passion, full of fun, full of meaning.
Of course, having a goal does not mean that you will succeed, nor does it mean that you will not fail. People who have goals will also encounter difficulties, setbacks, and failures. However, people who have goals will not give up because of failure, will not retreat because of setbacks, and will not compromise because of difficulties. They will learn from failures, draw strength from setbacks, and look for opportunities from difficulties. They will constantly adjust their strategies, constantly improve their abilities, and constantly get closer to their goals. They will use failure as a stepping stone to success, setbacks as a driving force for growth, and difficulties as opportunities for exercise. They will use their own actions to prove their worth, realize their dreams, and create their own brilliance.
For example: Jack Ma, the founder of Alibaba, used to be an ordinary English teacher, but he had a goal to enable China's small and medium-sized enterprises to use the Internet to do business, and he founded Alibaba, which became the largest e-commerce platform in China and one of the richest people in the world. His goal is not only to make him successful, but also to benefit hundreds of millions of people, and to take China's economic development to a new level.
Elon S. Musk, the founder of Tesla and SpaceX, used to be an ordinary boy who was curious about technology and space, but he had a goal, which is to enable mankind to achieve sustainable energy and interstellar exploration, he created Tesla, the world's most advanced electric car company, and also created SpaceX, the world's leading private space company, his goal is not only to make him an innovative entrepreneur, but also to let tens of millions of people enjoy cleaner energy and a broader vision, and also make the future of mankind more full of possibilities。
So, how can you find your purpose?How can we set a reasonable, achievable, and meaningful goal?Here, I would like to introduce you to a very useful method, which is the SMART principle. The SMART principle, which is a tool to help people set goals, each letter of it represents an element, which is: - S, specific, specific. A goal should be specific and clear, not vague, be able to clearly describe the state you want to achieve, and be able to measure your progress and results in a quantitative or observable way.
m, measurable, measurable. A goal should be measurable, not subjective, and it should be able to evaluate its performance with data or standards, and it should be able to express its achievement and effectiveness with numbers or percentages.
a, achievable, achievable. A goal should be achievable, not fantastical, to be able to consider one's own abilities and resources, to be able to reasonably arrange one's time and energy, and to be able to have the confidence and determination to achieve one's goal.
R, Relevant, related. A goal should be relevant, not a patchwork, in line with one's own interests and values, consistent with one's long-term plans and vision, and able to have a positive impact on one's own development and growth.
t, time-bound, time-bound. A goal should be time-bound and not procrastinated, it should be able to set a clear deadline or cycle, it should be able to carry out its actions according to its own plans and steps, and it should be able to review and adjust its own strategies and methods in a timely manner.
The use of SMART principles can help us transform a vague idea into a clear goal, or help us break down a difficult task into simple steps, or help us realize a distant dream into a realistic result. Let's take a look at some examples of the use of SMART principles and see how they make goals more specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound. For example:
Assuming you want to, you can set your goals to: lose 500 calories per week by exercising for half an hour a day, lose 10 kilograms of body weight in three months, and maintain a healthy diet and lifestyle Xi habits.
This goal is specific because it clarifies the state you want to achieve and the steps you want to take;is measurable because it measures your progress and results with data such as time, calories, kilograms, etc.;is achievable because it takes into account your abilities and resources, and also schedules your time and energy;is relevant because it aligns with your interests and values, and also aligns with your long-term plans and vision;It is time-bound because it sets a clear deadline and cycle.
Suppose you want to learn Xi a foreign language, you can set your goal to reach B2 level within six months by learning Xi an hour a day, participating in online communication once a week, and being able to communicate and read fluently in everyday life.
This goal is specific because it clarifies the state you want to achieve and the steps you want to take;is measurable because it measures your progress and results with data such as time, hours, levels, etc.;is achievable because it takes into account your abilities and resources, and also schedules your time and energy;is relevant because it aligns with your interests and values, and also aligns with your long-term plans and vision;It is time-bound because it sets a clear deadline and cycle.
Suppose you want to start a business, you can set your goal as: within a year, by forming a team of five people, developing a product that meets the market demand, gaining 1,000 users and a net income of 200,000 yuan, and seeking the support of investors.
This goal is specific because it clarifies the state you want to achieve and the steps you want to take;It's measurable because it measures your progress and results with data such as time, people, products, users, revenue, etcis achievable because it takes into account your abilities and resources, and also schedules your time and energy;is relevant because it aligns with your interests and values, and also aligns with your long-term plans and vision;It is time-bound because it sets a clear deadline and cycle.
It is a wrong, dangerous, and pathetic view that people without goals never fail. People who don't have goals, not only won't they fail, they won't succeed, they won't improve, and they won't contribute. Their life is a waste, a laziness, an escape. Their existence has no meaning, their lives have no value, and their personalities have no dignity.
On the contrary, people who have goals, although they will encounter failures, they will also usher in success, although they will experience setbacks, they will also grow, and although they will face difficulties, they will also create opportunities. Their life is a challenge, a passion, a fun, a meaning. Their existence is of great significance, their lives are of infinite value, and their personalities are of high dignity.
We should set a goal for ourselves, a goal that will allow us to pursue, to be motivated, to act, to achieve, to give feedback, to improve, to grow, to achieve, and to be happy. We should use our goals to guide our direction, inspire us, and give us meaning.
