I attended this workshop on "goal setting" as part of a soft skills training programme from office sometime back and it set me thinking. Besides highlighting the importance of goals the trainer also actually made us write down a few goals that we want to achieve both in our personal and professional life. And he wanted us to be specific :) Like if someone says "i want to loose weight" he would ask them to rephrase that to "I want to loose 5 kgs by end of June 07"
Boy I was fascinated!
Here goes then..
Short Term: (by Dec 07)
1) Parasailing : Jakkur also will do :) Ideally though it wud be near the southern coast of Indian islands ..maldives, lakswadeep etc
2) Visit Rajasthan : strange it never happened for a person who has travelled so much
3) white water rafting in the sita river (maharashtra) / Ganges
4) Catch up on at least SOME of the happening movies in town - I havent been watching any off late.
5) Complete reading the books - LSSD by Lacos and C++ by Stroustrup
6) Read at least one good book every month
7) Carefully read the newspaper everyday (and not just scan!) --ongoing
8) Resume baddie or swimming
Long Term:
1) Write a book (the subject can be anything) - definitely wanna give this one a shot. Maybe when I'm 40 and wiser and mature :)
2) Buy a car for myself..have already thought of one :)
3) Be a mentor for someone at the workplace
Fantasies (not exactly goals)
1) Give a good speech -- done
2) Visit a proper disc -- done
3) And lots more :)
