4. 
When you want to grow, clear goals are required to be set before action. Goals are
normally set in the following areas
1. Career goals are determined based on your current and future academic background,
aptitude towards functions
2. Family goals are determined by the family culture, tradition and values under the guidance of
successful family people
3. Financial goals- Practically there are no limits to reach financial prosperities.
The formula is Current earnings+ Expecting income – Investment= Net income or
Disposable income.
4. Spiritual goals - Universe: Uni =One. Verse=Song. Universe=One Song.
One Song heard by all throughout the entirety of existence. One Song. One Message to all.
I feel that message is Love. Love knows no religion. Love knows no nationality or country
border. Love is Love.

Planning: The top priority for any activity is PLANNING. Hence planning precedes
all other functions.
Education: To achieve on our personal life the education plays a vital role.
learning process should never end in once life.
Growth : A+E+E = L i.e. Age+ Education + Experience = Life Growth.
Skills : In the current scenario updating ones knowledge in the relevant areas can
help you to develop your skills.
Success Model : Take the tips of successful personalities on their trait and their
habits.
Risks : Risk takers are always reward getters. One should always take calculated
risk in their life.
Opportunities: Whenever there is an opportunity knocks at your door in the
personal/official life we should embrace it immediately. opportunities once lost
cannot be gained.
Network : PR+HR=Result. I.e. Personal relation and Human relation will definitely
fetch positive results in all endeavors.

9. Why improve at all ? We are born. We die. Everything else shares the
same fate. Then why this struggle to improve?
What is the use? Expectations can only lead to misery if we don’t
achieve. Why not just lead a life of no expectations and see what happens?
You don’t have to set goals? or strive to better yourself. Personal growth
is a conscious choice, one that is entirely up to you.
What is the meaning of life? The purpose of my life is to grow and to
help others to grow.
What Should be Your Attitude? My attitude is that being able to grow
year after year is the greatest adventure anyone could ever hope for .
What is Growth? Growth certainly involves both pain and pleasure, but
the pain only sweetens the pleasure there is nothing inherently wrong with
leading a life expecting nothing.
Why are you Born? If you don’t want anything out of life, then why are
you here in this World .
