Description and definition for what SMART for goals are.

1. Samia Hassan

2. SMART is an abbreviation for a set of terms,
which we use to measure GOALS, and they
are:
 S:Specific
 M:Measurable
 A:Attainable/Achievable
 R:Realistic/Relevant
 T:Time Bound

3. So let's make a further breakdown to the SMART
For Goals.
 S: Know what you want and where are you
heading to, for it will make your journey easier.
Alice in Wonderland was asked where is she
headed to, she mentioned that she got no clue,
the cat she was asking for suggestion replies
back to her saying; then it doesn't matter !
Imagine doing the same, how much time, effort,
and so many other things will be like a total
waste during such journey to 'I don't know what
GOAL'?!

4. Someone smart once said 'Be you, because
everyone else is already taken', one has got
to know who they're, what they stand for,
don't try to imitate or live another person's
dreams, life & goals. Your goals must be
yours & must be a translation for who you
are.

5.  M:Goals got to be measurable, from time to
time check progress, assess, evaluate &
make necessary modifications.
 A: Don't make a very impossible goal that
may discourage you from taking action, or a
very easy one that might never challenge or
motivate you.

6.  R: Your goal as I said must be a translation of
who you are, whether it's
independent/interdependent goal,
depending on your culture, point of view &
how you see things(For example Cultures like
America/Japan) operate from a unique
sphere one may place much emphasis on the
person, the other gives the emphasis for the
group.

7.  T:They say the beautiful things about dreams
is that they don't have an expiry date, good
for them, on the other hand goals are bound
to a TIME FRAME, like taking a course
or going to university they have a start & an
end date.

particular assignment for a course.
