What is Success? (con’t)

• Success means different things to different people.

• Success is setting and accomplishing your goals.

• Success takes planning and a strong desire.

• Success is taking action.

• Success means reaching your goals even when the going gets tough.


One Definition of Success

“To laugh often and much; to win the respectof intelligent people and the affection of children; … to appreciate beauty, to findthe best in others; to leave the world a little better; whether by a healthy child or a garden patch … to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is success.” Ralph Waldo Emerson


Definition of Success #2

“Be honest and work hard to get what you want. Don’t take shortcuts; you are only cheating yourself in the long run.

Success is not measured by money or fame, but by how you feel about your own goals and accomplishments and the time and effort you put into them.” Willie Stargell, Baseball Hall of Fame

• Dreams vs. Goals

• Quotes to Ponder

• Points for Discussion

Why Goals Are Important?Goal = Dream + Action Steps + Target Date

Goals provide direction, a sense of accomplishment and help you define your growth and development.

1. Roadmap - Would you drive to Los Angeles without one?

2. Recipe – Would you make the holiday dinner without them?

Why go through life without goals?

Goals are your roadmap for a successful education and life.


Goal Setting 101Clearly define the challenge facing you.

What issue, problem or desire are you trying to change or achieve?

Examples of misguided challenge definitions:

Low grade in class – Teacher does not like me vs. lack of effort on your part? Need more money – Quitting your job vs. talking to your boss and doing extra work.

The Four Key QuestionsEstablish your goals by answering these questions:

1. Define the Challenge Why do I want it? Define the desire or challenge facing you.

2. Goal What do I want? Write down the goal you want to achieve.

3. Action Steps How will I get it? Your specific step-by-step action plan to reach your goal.

4. Target Dates When do I want it? The completion date to reach your goal.


Goal Setting 101• It is very important to write down your Goal, Action Steps and Target Date

• Use the positive, action-oriented words – I can and I will in your goal statement and with your action steps

• Read your goal(s) every day

• Stretch your abilities


Stretching Your Abilities

There is a big difference between stretching

past your “comfort zone” and setting unrealistic goals.

___________

Start with goals that stretch your capabilities and then

build on your successes.


Dreams vs. Goals

Goal Setting is like shooting an arrow.

You may want to hit the target, but if you don’t take action – shooting the arrow –

you only have a dream.

The difference between a dream and a goal is

ACTION.


QUESTIONS

progress toward reaching them?

They measure their progress toward reaching their goals with tests, quizzes, active class

discussions, term papers, etc.
