🎯 I
mportance of setting goalsI know that you are applying to colleges or doing something along those lines. Today, I want to write about the importance of setting goals.
I have seen many of
my peers fail at standardized tests, projects or other parts of the application process because they don't have a clear picture of what they are doing.
My typical conversation with them:
- What are you doing nowadays?
- I am preparing for SAT
- When will you take it ?
- I don't know. Maybe when I am ready?
To have a clear picture of your progress, you need to
know where you are going. Imagine you ride on a bus, and you don't know where you should leave the bus. You will probably end up somewhere you don't want to be.
The same thing goes with everything you do.
If you are preparing for SAT, know when are you taking it. If you are starting a club, know when you will engage your first 100 members. If you are applying for an international program, know when you are submitting your application (not 1 minute before the deadline)
I started setting goals at 8th grade, and it has been a game changer. @abdulazizziyP.s: React to this post with 🕊️ if you have read until the end. Next posts will be about how to set goals and how to actually accomplish them.
