Prerequisite Qualities For Optimum Goal SettingWritten by Ke o agile Khiba
The minute you set a goal, you are creating a 'mini crisis' in your mind. You're telling your mind about a journey you are considering. In simple terms you are stating where you want to be in relation to where you are. And in between these two is a chasm, a gap. As far as your mind is concerned, ability to achieve your stated goal is mostly dependent on your mental qualities and skills. Selfish mind, right? Maybe not, but point is, this is area on which your success hinges. So, here are mental qualities you need to optimise your success. a. concentration b. emotional balance c. imagery and d. perspective Lets take a look at these in detail. a. Concentration Concentration is a process of paying atttention to certain things to eclusion of others. The beautiful thing about it is that it is easy to concentrate. Simple! Focus on your goal, and all unnecessary distractions drop out of your attention span naturally. This means you do not have to worry or focus on getting rid of distractions. I have heard it said that 'where thought is directed, energy flows'. WORD OF CAUTION: Do not concentrate so intensely to extent that you lose sight of bigger picture. Focus, but e aware of what's changing around as far as your goal is concerned. b. Emotional Balance Emotional balance refers to how well you juggle too much effort (mental and physical) and too much relaxation. You do not want to be so focused, you experience burn-out along way. And you do not want to take things so easy, you lose momentum! How much are you prepared to put into those activities that help you achieve your goal, and what is hte effort required? I suppose its much helpful to exert and relax adequately, stretch anc take a break! c. Imagery This is one critical quality that conventional methods of goal setting gloss over. Rich imagery is central to mental fqualities you require to optimise your success. What do I mean by 'rich imager'?

Functional Sample Resumes In a sample functional resume, focus is on your skills rather than your work history. This type of format is great for individuals who may not have remained at jobs for long periods of time or for individuals who have held numerous jobs. This type of resume can also work well for individuals who are changing careers and want to shift focus from their work history and what they may have done in past to their skills and what they wish to do in future.
