Goal

Don’t hold a lock, hold a key.

What is a goal?  Goal is not a just a word to have for a life time. It is a life time spirit which makes you strive for it. Nobody turns to be a super star by chance. Behind every success story there is a goal set already years ago. If Sachin Tendulakar could become the god of cricket, it is because he dreamed of it. One should definitely have a goal because if you don’t know where you are going, you would probably end up somewhere. A man with no dream lives his life with no objective.

After having a goal the deciding factor is that how meaningful one is working towards it. Reaching your goal is always not so easy. Billions of people are setting goals for their lives but only millions could able to make their way to it. The reason behind every success or failure is the approach. Many of the people never set achievable goals. If people set achievable goals then the reason still why they fail is they never try to achieve them.

So there should be a systematic approach to achieve a goal. The first thing before setting any goal is, analyze it. An engineering student dreaming of being part a surgery is certainly impossible. The prime factor is your “goal” itself. The next step is set your work plan. You cannot just start working towards it without plan. Working without a plan is sailing without a compass in sea. You will reach nowhere or somewhere undesired. So plan your strategy. Now is the time for action.  Once the goal and plan are set it’s the work and only work make you to achieve your goal. Analyzing regularly where you are, how you are doing makes a reflection on your work. It enhances your plan.

Having keys of a lock is not just sufficient, the keys should be correct to unlock it. Bill Gates and jack Welch were not just lucky to make the history. It’s their plan, strategy and dedication made them invincible.
