Since I selected my major as business management, I decided to read some related book to assist me before actually tempt into the class. As long as I finished the introduction of that book I found some concepts are really useful for me and drive me back to book for more. I write down the material I read and some of my thought below and hopeful it is interesting and helpful to you guys. :D

We can achieve a greater feeling of balance in our lives when we set some realistic goals for ourselves. These goals should encompass our whole lives, not just our professional circumstances. They should also enable us to prioritize our time, because once we have these goals in front of us, we can see what steps are necessary to allow us to reach our destination. Our goals can be broken down into various categories: professional, home and family, social, leisure, friends, holidays, hobbies, and personal development, such as learning a new language and even developing our time-management skills.

Goals provide our minds with a focus; and, once they have a focus, it is amazing what we can achieve. Once you set yourself goals to achieve, all kinds of circumstances will present themselves, almost as if by magic, which will enable you to move towards success. You might be thinking at this stage that there are so many things you want in life that the task is too daunting, and you would prefer not to embark on it. But it is far better to identify a long list of goals and succeed in some of them, than to identify none and achieve nothing. That can only end in frustration, a sense of demoralization, and disappointment.

Once you have set your goals, the next stage is to make an action plan that breaks the task down into manageable “bite-size” chunks. Then you can move towards those goals, one step at a time. It is important to place an expected time limit on completing that part of the plan. Once you take this step, you can monitor your progress and see whether you are on track or whether you have set yourself too ambitious a target. Motivating yourself in this way will provide you with energy because you will feel good about the progress you are making. Without any goals on which to focus, we tend to drift through life, aimlessly allowing life to “happen” to us. This is when we experience the feeling of life controlling us and it being “unfair”. You have the ability within you to do and achieve whatever you want. The first step is to determine what you want to do with your life. We will return to the subject of goals later when we look at how to improve your time management.

Motivation and rewards

The goal of mine is want to success in America and makes my parents admire at me. Being a great businessman is my first goal. In order to do so, I would have to evaluate my speech first.

The other benefit of goal setting is the feeling of motivation you experience. Once you get started and can see that, by accomplishing a little at a time, you are on the way to achieving something much bigger and better in your life. It is also important to give yourself some rewards as you progress so that, as you complete certain stages toward a particular goal, you know what reward you will receive. It is important that the reward is proportionate to what you have achieved. For example, if you were learning a new language at night school, you could reward yourself on completing the first term by buying some new clothes (shopping is one of my hobbies: D ) A vacation would be the reward for completing the course and would have the added benefit of providing you with an opportunity to speak the new language.
