Hi,mylotters When I started a new term,I would told myself that I should reach the goal I set for myself before the end of my term.To reach the goal,I need to do a lot.Usually,I will focus on my goal and work hard to reach it.In the first day,the second day and maybe a week or even a month,I will follow my plan.But as time passes,I will lose the patience and begin to do something else that is helpless to my goal!How about you ,mylotters?I wish you can stick to your goal. Have a nice day!

I have so many goals that but only one goal that i can reach so far, it is about my marriage, when I am on 22, i talk to my self that i want to get married at 26, because this number fit on my local culture(people will tell us as an "Old Virgin" if we not married around that years), And my parents said that if you still haven't married on 26 or more then you will be hardly to find your partner. That voice all over my mind. It's true, many of friends who aged around 27-30 had trouble to find her soulmate. Well, that the only goal i can achieved, LOL

I'm trying to stick with my goals now. I have many plans before but i didnt get to happen all things as i planned. There are lots of mistake that i've done in the past. I regret those time so much. I wasted a lot of time. That time i was in college i always planned on how am i going to manange my school and work for me to be able to graduate on time. But I think i didn' make it. I graduated so late than i am expected. But still I have one goal that im trying to achieve and I'm determined to take any chances to get in to my goal. I would pursue that no matter how many hindrances gets on my way.

yes i can, as long as the determination and perseverance is in me. it's not impossible for someone to attain their goals no matter how hard it is. motivation is just a secondary factor in sticking with our goals.

Hi Hxstar, I think you are talking about the self control, and also the possibility of the goal you set. If the goal that you set are hard to reach, it looks like a great ambition, but later, you found out that the goal is so hard to reach and it takes forever to reach, you lost your interest and your patience. I think you might hear this from your teacher or your friend, set the goal that you can reach just by a little jump. For example, your score was 60 last term, so this is term you want it to be 90, it looks great, but is it possbile for you? Will it take more than you can afford to reach that? Let's say i want to reach 70, i think i can see the hope there, i just need a little bit of extra efforts and i can reach that, will that help you to stick with your goals? I think so. The other hand is the self control, you need to control yourself of being impatience, that's what we call self control. Hope those advice will help.

I remembered from the kid's time I set many goals but few stick to up to now. Only those which I'm interested in can survive.What I want to say is set your goal according to your interests and experience otherwise it's only a dream.

hi xing, I can say that when I was still a college student, I was happened to meet difficult situations that almost made me give up on my goals. My primary goal during my college years is to finish my degree and the second one is to be a consistent dean's lister of our university.We are not that rich and by that, I have to spend wisely my money just to attend to school everyday and be able to meet the requirements of different subjects.There were times that my parents cannot give me any money anymore to continue my studies, and by that I was force to be a working student in order for me to stick to my first goal.I am not resting much because I will work in the morning and will study in the afternoon. And by night, I study all my lessons and do all my homeworks.Sometimes, I stay late at night just studying and when I go to work, I feel so sleepy. I can still remember how my boss scolded me everytime he will see that I am quite sleepy in work.Well, I just told myself that no matter how hard it is, I will still won't give up my studies in college.I worked for one month and then I got sick. My parents told me to stop being a working student because my health is not getting good. My elder sister was able to find a work, and she was able to help me with my school expenses. Although, I had been a working student, I am so lucky because I was able to maintained my grades in the university.In order for me to stick to my goal is that I give my focus on it. I always pray to God that may He gives me all the knowledge and strength I need to attain my goals. And I can say that I am so blessed because He helped and still helping with my life.
