WHAT IS A GOAL?

According to Wikipedia the exact definition of a goal:

IS a desired result for a person or system envisions, plans and commits to achieve it, within a desired personal or organizational end-point in some sort of assumed development.

Therefore many people are endeavor to reach their planned development point, within a finite time by setting a deadlines.

Still if we tried to give a definition for OBJECTIVES, we will find that it is the same as we previously mentioned.

GOALS & OBJECTIVES

Its often hard to know the difference between goals and objectives – in fact, we often use the two terms interchangeably.

But knowing the difference can help us to use both in a constructive way, to get us from where we are to where we want to go.

Therefore, all the things that someone's wanted or even just a dream eager to achieve, whether in personal or professional life is considered a goal Regardless it had been achieved or not.

Some people might not considered some of those things or dreams even goal, therefore they never bother to achieve it.

The main difference between where you are at the present time, and what you want to be in the future is to set goals and work to achieve them.

GOALS & OBJECTIVES

If we tried to follow any successful people's life, we will find all these people have one thing in common, which is that they planned for this success.

They never left anything unplanned or unstudied carefully, to make sure that they will reach where they hoped for.

At any time of their personal or professional lives they always knew exactly where they were heading.

And what will be their next destination in their life plan.

They never lost in their life details or lost sight of the big picture.

WHY DO WE NEED TO SET GOALS?

This is because Setting goals means having a long-term vision for life and future.

This vision is the big picture, that's how you would like to see yourself after 10 years for example.

And we wouldn't want to lose sight of this big picture at any time of our life.

This big picture should be a complete covering for professional , religious, and personal sides.

Normally no one can never develop just one side of his life and leave other parts untouched.

WHY DO WE NEED TO SET GOALS?

This Vision has two very important benefits..

1. Self Confidence:

By setting a sharp and properly defined vision which will enlighten the way through toughest times.

2. Self Motivation:

To be able to constantly hunt that Long term vision until you can make it real.

Both of these, will make you recognizes through time your ability and competence in moving forward through your goal steps , seeing the results of your visions become gradually real.

WHY DO WE NEED TO SET GOALS?

This Vision should be primary concern and destination of your life , therefore you must study and review it several times very carefully, any mistake will misleads your direction, you will not reach your desired destination

But first we need to see the deference between Goals and Objectives

HOW DO WE START?

When we become certain of the big picture we start dividing it into long term Goals and to which when collecting its parts it should go along with that big picture.

Then we divide these goals into short term objectives.

But we have to put in our minds that these objectives and Goals should complies with certain conditions
