Goal Setting and Goal Getting: Here Are Some Quotes that Can Change Your Life
Here are several quotes about setting and achieving goals. My comments follow. The weakest ink is better than the strongest memory. - John Rickenbacker Do you want to dramatically increase the likelihood of you meeting your goals for the new year? One of the simplest yet most powerful actions you can take is to write down your goals. It's so easy to get caught up in the busy-ness of everyday life that it then becomes all too easy to forget about your goals. I think the saying is "when you are up to your rear-end in alligators, it's easy to forget your original intention was to drain the swamp." Put your goals down on paper. Keep them where you will see them everyday. Doing this will prevent you from saying around this time next year, "oh yeah, I remember those........." Goals are dreams with deadlines - Diana Scharf Hunt Set "achievement dates" for your goals. Otherwise, we get caught in the trap of "someday." As in, someday I'll do that. Check out your calendar. You will find: Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. What you will not find is: someday. So not only does someday never come, it doesn't even exist. Make your goals public - Dr. Philip Humbert Go public with your goals. Share them with family and friends. It increases the likelihood of you reaching your goals in at least two ways: 1) those close to you can hold you accountable 2) those close to you can encourage you and cheer you on. I am not discouraged, because every wrong attempt discarded is another step forward. - Thomas Edison, Inventor In the confrontation between the stream and the rock, the stream always wins - not through strength but by perseverance. H. Jackson Brown - A Father's Book of Wisdom In any endeavor worth doing, you will encounter difficulties and slips. Never, never give up and quit. Don't die of thirst just a few feet from the water. You never know how close you may be to reaching your goal. Each and every time you fall short, you have just learned something very powerful: you now know at least one more way that does not work. Discard it and keep going. It really can be as simple, and as difficult, as the following Japanese proverb that says "Fall seven times, get up eight."

However, setting sail may also be accompanied by challenges or feelings of anxiety and fear as you leave the safety of the known to risk stepping into the unknown. For me, the past two years have been a time of new beginnings. A move to a new city, getting settled in a new home, meeting new friends and colleagues, exploring a new area and learning a new language have marked many new opportunities. It has been an exciting adventure and a time that I have enjoyed very much. It has also been a tremendous learning experience and has challenged me in ways I'd never dreamed of when I began this journey. Following are four tips that have helped me during this time and that I hope will help you navigate more confidently and successfully as you set sail. Setting Goals and Obtaining Results GOALS SHOULD BE QUANTIFIABLE: It should be possible to analyze every goal in terms of specific quantifiable objectives. Naturally, for certain tasks, measurement of objectives will be more difficult to attain; the key is to make every effort to reduce each goal to its most quantifiable form. For example, a customer service department might have the following general goals: 1. To increase output on customer acknowledgments. 2. To boost the number of customer telephone inquiries that are handled. 3. To distribute mail in a timely manner. As described, the above goals are completely immeasurable. It is almost certain that the manager's expectations will not be met. The solution: Quantify these goals in a realistic, feasible fashion that will also insure departmental productivity: 1. To type 10 customer acknowledgment letters per hour. 2. Handle a minimum of 15 telephone customer inquiries per each two hour shift. 3. Open, sort, and distribute all mail for the third floor before 10 a.m. each working day. 5 Steps to Goal Setting Success Goal setting is the true secret to success in any area of life.
