There are three kinds of goals: short-term goals, medium-term goals and long-term goals. Short-term goals are those that usually deal with current activities and we can apply them on a daily basis. Such a goal can be achieved in a week or less, or two weeks, or maybe months. It should be remembered that just as a building is not stronger than its foundation, our long-term goal will not become empty talk without the realization of solid short-term goals. After completing our short-term goals, we should determine the time, and then add new short-term goals on the basis of the completed goals.

Medium-term goals are based on short-term goals. They may only deal with one semester or the whole school year, or they may even last for several years. Whenever you make progress step by step, you should not let yourself become discouraged or overwhelmed. When you complete each step, you will enhance your confidence in your ability to grow and succeed. As the completion date increases, your motivation and desire will also increase.

Long-term goals may be related to our dreams for the future. They may cover five years or more. Life is not static. We should not let long-term goals limit us or our actions.
