     Champions aren't made in gyms. Champions are made from something they have deep inside them-a desire, a dream, a vision. They have to have the skill and the will. But the will must be stronger than the skill. Successful professionals thrive in the same manner. We all have natural talents. If we use that talent to set a goal in our life, we can easily get success in life. We shall not achieve our goals if we do not take action to achieve them.
    
 Setting goals has two valuable assets- a sense of originality and stepping stone to illuminate the path. Goals put one at the helm of life; pursuing them acknowledges the better future situation. They help to steer a course of life rather than simply drifting along and letting things happen.

     Setting goals may appear easy, but for some, it is quite challenging. Fear of failure may be avoided in the absence of any goals. After all, one has to decide what one wants to achieve in the end. To accomplish, goals experts recommend a five-step approach.

S M A R T  goals have a specific rubric:

     Specific: Involves identifying a specific area for improvement. The more specific the area, the more refined the achievement of one's goal can be. It makes it easier to set parameters and work towards the goal. For example, if it is building a house what exactly is the capacity required and how long can it stretch?

Understanding the Text-

When one has clear goals in front of him, it gives a clear view of classy outcomes. It makes his efforts accessible towards the goal or success. And it gives a framework or guideline and execution of the work.

(It is like guessing or estimating the things about a  building to be built- where we think about it from all aspects like capacity or estimated time.

Achievable:

 Setting goals that can be completed in a designated period of time. Often, these goals may act like stepping stones to help me broader goals that further define a career. As students, we can't become a President or Prime minister but can hope to reach those heights in the future.

Understanding the Text-

  Setting a goal and completing it in an estimated time is a really great and proud thing. Always these goals show us new ways or new heights of success. Efforts to reach the goals and the experience of many other things can teach us what great abilities we have and how one should go for the broader goals.
For example, a person cracks some competitive Exam and gets selected as an Administrative Officer. But after some time he recognizes or gets new ways to turn his better carried into the best one. (i.e. an Administrative Officer may become a Collector or may try his carrier into Politics, )

We never know the future opportunities that may come from the goal or aim we are trying to reach.

Realistic-

It is important to create goals that are within one's current skill set or area of expertise. Building expertise takes time so expecting to become an expert in a short amount of time is unrealistic. Being realistic will make it easy to be successful at attending goals if defensive and not aggressive, the goals perhaps you lack realism. We must have a clear picture in mind and must have the ability to adhere to that picture.

Understanding the Text-


Having a skill is very helpful in achieving goals. but the skill or expertise never comes in a night or two. It takes a long time to get mastery or some skill in a particular field. so one must know the skills he has and should know the limitations also. Nothing is impossible, so one can improve the skills and get well versed in it. The only thing he should know that expertise doesn't come in a short time. And here comes the honesty and realistic approach to self and to the efforts we put. And whatever skills we get we must stick to that because willpower and vision will always help us in this matter.

Time-bound- 

Established time parameters around each goal, as it will help increase focus and accountability. To reduce weight we know how to go about it. But without consistent time-bound action, it never becomes a reality it may be exercise, diet, and stress-free thoughts. All these have to be practiced and implemented without hesitation, doubt, or indifference, but within a deadline.

Understanding the Text- 

Like the skill and the willpower, one must think about the time management and give a proper time limit to achieve the goal. It empowers one to focus on the goal and get the target within or around the determined time. If one is time-bound there is no chance to have the hesitation or doubt in the mind.

    Vision, wishes, intention and dreams are all valuable. They spark off imagination and encourage us to define where we want to reach. In order to get there, however, we need to bring life images down to earth and plan to execute strategies. The quality and quantity of energy we put forth directly impact the results. Life is something like a trumpet. If you don't put anything in, with can't get anything out.

     Success is a walk in the dark. Finding the right footing, precisely mastering the skill and getting to the next place, all depend on how we approach and tackle the problem. The best way to get from where we are, to where we want to be is to find the footing of our next step when we take the next step it should support and hold us without a crack.

Understanding the Text-

     As we already considered that vision and will-power with great and creative imagination is necessary for the achievement, we must try to execute the plan ao imagination into reality or else it would become a daydream. While executing the plan we come across the quality and quantity of our efforts. this helps us to make improvements in them and to remain on the right track to get desirable results. Here, if we sow the seeds of hard work we will sure to get the fruits of success. 
   While reaching our goals and getting the success we must take the right steps even when we don't have any idea about a few things. and here our skill and will always show the way to be on the proper track. And when we take steps of our efforts they should be firm to support us morally.
