"Grandpa Joe's Final Words" video reminds NN of her younger days when she was at school. Some teachers loved to belittle their pupils at school. One teacher said to NN's classmate that she was hopeless and good for nothing. This girl has grown up into a successful lady who is well known and celebrated by the society. Where is the teacher now? Remained as an old retired teacher. The girl vowed to the teacher, "You say I am good at nothing and hopeless? You will see one day when you become an old woman, I will become a famous person". This was exactly what she did! Teachers and parents have to be careful with what they say to the younger people. Most of the time a person's self-esteem is destroyed by their parents and teachers belittling and discouraging words. They do not realise that their words uttered when they are angry can affect their pupils',students' or children's self-esteem. Parents and teachers are supposed to be leaders ...
When we ask people on this planet; what is/are your goal/goals in life? Most people would say I don't know or I don't care!
ReplyDeleteHaving goal setting is very important my dear friends.We are unable to know how far we have achieved if we had not set any goals in our life. To achieve something, we have to set a goal/goals according to our own priority/priorities. One person's goal is different from the other.
Some of my friends are afraid to set goals because they are afraid if they wouldn't be able to achieve their goals and others would look at them as failure or losers. But my friends, if we had not set any goal at all how to win or to lose? As we aim for nothing at all, how can we achieve anything? Isn't it better to experience failure initially,than to not having anything to aim for in our life?.let those people who are afraid to try laugh at us, but they will stop laughing when we have 'achieved'.When we live without any aims and directions, we are meaningless to this planet.We are just like the weeds that grow on the roadside,or the soap scums which float up into thin air but explodes with no true meaning to the people and its own life.
How do you plan your goals? There are daily goals,weekly goals,monthly goals,yearly goals and long term goals.You have to be realistic when you set your goals. You can't have your dream home which costs $1mil.For eg; when your income is only $2K monthly. You might need some loan from bank and some savings for 10 years to build/buy a $1mil home. We have to measure our desire accordingly to our income.
From NN's own experience, we need to work smartly, diligently,passionately with integrity,love people sincerely and contribute and share with others who are less fortunate...eventually achievements will be ours. Above all,remember the Creator of This Universe who we call GOD...Be grateful to Him by giving back to his people...
