In order to lay down the long-term goals or dreams, I must be sure with what I want to be in life. This is what will guide me to establish the long-term goals. Just as we know, success needs well calcul
ated goal. For example, if I plan to be an engineer in future, I must lay down the short-term goals of working hard and passing in the necessary subjects that will enable me to pursue engineering. This means that goal calculation is not dreaming, it is all about passion and hard work. Through employing computers and iphones or ipads, I am able to be updated on all the details entailed in engineering course and through inspirational quotes by some engineers on the internet, I am able to remain focused and be able to achieve what I want in life. This also includes, having role models or mentors in life that we admire that we may strive to reach where they are. The best way I have to go about it is by writing down what I want, and write down how I plan to get there. This will help me meet my purpose in life. Therefore, in order to achieve my future plans, I have to pay attention to the following steps.
· My purpose in life- what exactly I want in life
· My dreams – these are the long term goals that inspire me to accomplish my short term goals
· My believes and values – what I stand for is final and possibly what I wish my actions showed me to remain focused to
· My ideal self – having a clear description of the person I want to be; how I live, how I relate, associate with friends, how I act and react to situations and maybe how I respond to criticism. This is what will keep me moving towards my dream.
· Mistakes and lessons- how I tackle my mistakes and how I will avoid their reoccurrence. The lessons I learn through my mistakes and other people’s mistakes. All these I write down because there are a lot that people learn from their experiences and from other people’s.
· Success and milestones- the way I identify and try to mend my mistakes is the same way I celebrate my successes.
This is where multiple intelligence and technology is highly required. Mathematical concepts are very hard and failing them means failing to meet my dream. Therefore, I have to employ the multimedia system in classroom concepts in order to reach my long-term goals. Sciences also play a major role because science and technology are consistent and their innovations are alike. All of them attempt s to modify the world and make our lives easier. Since the engineering field involves machines and very complicated technological equipments, I must employ the use of multimedia like viewing engineering movies, machines in the internet and machines available in companies in order to keep myself updated with the course. For example, see the following diagram showing technological machines in a company and how complicated they are!
