Goal Setting
Setting goals can give a person long-term vision and short-term motivation. It focusses your attention on acquiring knowledge as well as organising your time and resources so that you can make the most of your life. By setting clearly, defined and sharp goals, you can take pride in the achievement of them and see progress. Setting goals can also improve your self-confidence as you’re empowered to organise your own ability and competence by achieving the goals you have set.
