• Goals: The results you want to accomplish or the targets you want to
reach.
• Ambitions: A strong desire and determination to do or achieve
something.
• Potential: Having or showing the ability to develop into something in
the future.
The Difference Between Plans and Goals
• Some people may confuse plans with goals. In their mind, these two
ideas are similar or, have the same meaning.
• A plan can be thought of as part of a goal. A plan may be a series of
actions that you would do to achieve the goal.
• A goal on the other hand is the target or the end result.

The Benefits of Setting Goals – Motivation and
Vision, Reflection and Time Management
• Identifying your goals has a beneficial impact on your studies, your
professional development and your ability to function at work.
• Setting goals increases people’s motivation, gives them a vision,
encourages them to reflect with purpose and helps them to manage
their time.
• Without setting goals they may be reliant on others to direct them
which may limit their responsibilities and progress at work.
Reflection
• If executed in a purposeful manner reflection is significant when
directed by goals. This may involve using previous experience to direct
the learner’s decision-making on a new situation.
• Goals cannot be achieved unless they are founded on a willingness to
learn from the past, impact the present and work towards the future.
• Reflect in a purposeful manner:
1) Start by goal-setting which is concerned with where you want to go,
2) then think about planning which is linked to how you actually get there
3) and finally reflect on where you are at the moment, how you got there and
how this experience can direct your approach to achieving your goals.
Motivation and Vision
• Setting goals produces short term motivation and long term vision.

• Students who go through the process of setting goals know where


they want to go in school and what they want to achieve.
• Knowing what you want to accomplish means you will understand
what you must focus on now and in the future.
Time management or self-management
• Time management or self-management in relation to time can only be achieved
successfully by people setting goals for their life, career and work and allocating
time towards those goals, based on priorities.
• Any form of planning should incorporate goals, but should also include details on
what, where and when a person needs to do the action and the amount of time it
should take
Thinking about your goals
• t is very important to articulate what your goals and ambitions are, and how you
hope to achieve them, to a range of audiences as this confirms your intentions
and maintains your motivation.
• It is beneficial to be able to describe your goals to your classmates, your teachers,
your work colleagues and family
