Goals

Goal is the purpose that a plan is intended to achieve. An action to gain something of value. A goal can also mean the place that is designated as the end of a race or a journey. A successful attempt at scoring. A piece of game equipment consisting of the place toward which players of a game try to advance a ball or puck in order to score points. Destination is the ultimate goal for which something is done. Written directions for finding some location.



You're either working on your dreams and goals, or you're searching for dreams and goals that you feel are worth pursuing. Both journeys are extremely important, but not more important than increasing your knowledge. Learning something new should always be one of your main goals. You should always have learning goals, things you want to learn and need to learn. You should have milestones within your milestones, and you should have milestones your entire life. So what's your next milestone? What's your mission? What are your priorities? Do you understand project management? Do you have a problem with procrastination? I don't feel like it is relative. Choose goals that are right for you. Be careful what you wish for.

You have to start somewhere, and you have to start sometime. What better place than here? What better time than now?

Intrinsic Goals are goals that focus on improving yourself and comes from within you. These goals include personal development, personal growth, developing meaningful relationships, and improving your health. Intrinsic goals stem from your passion and core values. Inner goals or Internal goals are the personal objectives that we set for ourselves. They are often related to our sense of purpose in life and can help us to stay motivated and focused.

Final Goals or terminal goals are intrinsically valuable to an intelligent agent, whether an artificial intelligence or a human being, as ends-in-themselves.

Instrumental Convergence is the hypothetical tendency for most sufficiently intelligent beings to pursue similar sub-goals, even if their ultimate goals are quite different. Agents may pursue instrumental goals—goals which are made in pursuit of some particular end, but are not the end goals themselves—without ceasing, provided that their ultimate or intrinsic goals may never be fully satisfied. AI or non-human goals.

Instrumental and Intrinsic Value are the distinction between what is a means to an end and what is as an end in itself. Things are deemed to have instrumental value or extrinsic value if they help one achieve a particular end. Intrinsic values, by contrast are understood to be desirable in and of themselves. A tool or appliance, such as a hammer or washing machine, has instrumental value because it helps you pound in a nail or clean your clothes. Happiness and pleasure are typically considered to have intrinsic value insofar as asking why someone would want them makes little sense. They are desirable for their own sake irrespective of their possible instrumental value. The classic names instrumental and intrinsic were coined by sociologist Max Weber, who spent years studying good meanings people assigned to their actions and beliefs.

What is the main focus of today? Learn as much as possible, write and document as much as possible, and live, learn, love and progress. Ambition.

Goal Orientation is an individual disposition toward developing or validating one's ability in achievement settings. Previous research has examined goal orientation as a motivation variable useful for recruitment, climate and culture, performance appraisal, and selection. Studies have also used goal orientation to predict sales performance, goal setting, learning and adaptive behaviors in training, and leadership. Due to the many theoretical and practical applications of goal orientation, it is important to understand the construct and how it relates to other variables. In this entry, goal orientation will be reviewed in terms of its history, stability, dimensionality, antecedents, relationship to goal setting and consequences, relevance to motivation, and future directions for research.

Goals to Live for - Reasons to Live

You should have something in your life to live for, to die for and to give for. If you don't have something to live for, or have something to give your life for, then what do you have? If you can't risk everything that you have, in order to protect everyone and everything they have, then what do you have? Not having any meaningful goals or a purpose in life is like having nothing to live for, except to consume and then die. Just remember, you have to do things when you're alive because you can't do things when you're dead. And don't forget, everything that you have is from the sacrifices of millions of people who lived throughout human history, people who have given their lives for each and everyone us. So you have to return the favor and continue the tradition, as well as guarantee that people in the future will have a future. Why else would you be here. if you truly want to live, you have to be of service to people and be a benefit to humanity. You can't be selfish when everything you have is from unselfish people.

Legacy - Magnum Opus - Greatest Work - Ambition

When you have goals that give you a sense of purpose and when you have goals that gives your life meaning, there's no wondering what to do with your life or wondering what to do with the time you have. So there's no wondering what to do today or tomorrow. You do the same thing almost everyday, which is focusing on collecting valuable knowledge and information, and organizing knowledge and information, and sharing knowledge and information with as many people as possible. You have to give people a fighting chance to live.

A Fighting Chance is to have the possibility of success and the potential of success when there is no hope at all for success.

“If you don’t start somewhere…then I assure you, you’re going nowhere.” (via Star)

Put Your Best Foot Forward is to embark on an undertaking with as much effort and determination as possible. To make a good impression.

There's no time to lose, I heard her say, catch your dreams before they slip away. Dying all the time, Lose your dreams and you will lose your mind, Ain't life unkind? Ruby Tuesday - The Rolling Stones (youtube).

"When you feel like quitting, just remember why you started." Memory.

"People who have a greater sense of purpose and direction in life are more likely to live longer."

Pass the Baton - everyone stands on the shoulders of giants.

A goal is like having a beacon of light that keeps your mind fixed on a target and keeps you moving towards a particular Purpose. If you’re not moving towards something then that means you’re standing still and not going anywhere, and if your not going anywhere, that means you’re lost. 

It's not "What am I going to do now?" It's "What can I do next?" 

It’s not just getting inspiration, it’s what you do when you get inspired. There’s a big difference between having inspiration and having a very well thought out plan. A plan that not only defines your responsibilities, your priorities and your abilities, but a plan that includes your increased awareness of the causes and effects that are created from your actions. There is a difference between doing something that you want to do and doing something that you feel the world needs you to do. Being an individual gives a human incredible freedoms, but it was never intended to isolate or disconnect a human from life itself.

Inspiration comes from knowing that you can make a difference.

Self-Efficacy is the extent or strength of one's belief in one's own ability to complete tasks and reach goals.

Determination is good to have. But when determination creates tunnel vision then it becomes a negative instead of a positive. It's like driving a car with no brakes. You can't stop to think when you need to. Confidence.

Success is having a positive influence on other people’s lives. Everything else is just details.

Work is work, right? Volunteering is considered work. So work is not just about the money, it’s more about the value of your actions. As far as I know we are the only human species in the universe. So it's just logical that I assure the survival of my species by avoiding negative actions that cause negative effects. 

Interpersonal intelligence - Baseline - Failure - Mistakes - Introvert

What if you could do anything or be anyone without limitations? Who would you be? What would you do? Of course this is a silly question because it's not clear enough to answer correctly. Who would you be, under what conditions? What would you do, under what conditions? What information and knowledge do you have to explain your desired direction? Have you done any research? How much do you understand about your desired direction? What is your motivating now and where was it before?

Having a dream or a fantasy is different from having goals. If you believe that you have restrictions, or if you believe there are certain things that are holding you back, then what you need are problem solving skills and an expert to help guide you through the difficulties. The only real limitation is your mind. If you lack the necessary information and knowledge in order to achieve a goal or a dream, then it's up to you to acquire this missing knowledge. So there seems to be one more limitation, which is having access to necessary information and knowledge, which brings you back to problem solving. Responsibilities - Priorities.

Even though life will never be the way you planned it, it's always better if you have some sort of plan. Even if you're not totally sure what those plans mean, at least for now it gives you a chance to find out what you might have done wrong, or what you might have done right. Plans are a documentation of your intentions, something that you can learn from, something to apply to new plans. A plan is either a step forward, or a step backward, So what's your next step?

"A goal may not always be reached, but having something to aim at could make all the difference."

"Remember, you may not always reach your goal, but you can still make a difference."

Even if your plans change, or even if your goals were not reached, it's still better to have plans and goals then to have no plans or goals at all. A plan is not a set course of action that cannot be changed or modified. A goal is not a commitment that cannot be changed or modified. It's just better to have a plan and a goal, one that says "this is what I know now, and at this time, this looks like the correct action to take, even knowing that things change, and even knowing that I will learn more things along the way that might change the plans and change my goals." This is not saying to stop being spontaneous, but If you don't have nothing to reach for, or nothing to look forward too, then what's the point of living? Make a goal, have a plan, and still be spontaneous. Life is an incredible journey, and sometimes it's a good idea to know where you are headed, even if the destination changes.

"Avoiding Rabbit Holes that don't go anywhere is a great way to get somewhere." Detours.

Goal Dilution is a theory about the way we perceive the quality of products or services. The more singular something is in its purpose, the more effective we believe it is, or the more singular and focused something is, the better we believe it to be, at this one trait/purpose, and alternatively, the more that trait is diluted amongst others, the less good we believe it to be (even though it isn’t). Focus on one point at a time in your message.

"A man's worth is no greater than the worth of his ambitions."

A person should not be judged just by their work. You judge a person for their life and how they lived. And if their life was a failure or if their life was not as effective as it could have been, then there is no judgment, you should only learn to understand why that life was a failure or understand how that life could have been better. we learn from mistakes all the time, its called adaptation.

Pursue is to carry out an activity or to participate in an activity in order to carry it further or to advance it. To be involved in something or to be in search for something.

Live, Learn, Love, and Progress

I'm Getting There. Where's there?

It takes a long time to achieve certain goals, and when you finally get there, it's a wonderful feeling.

"So Close, Yet So Far"

"A man's reach should exceed his grasp" suggests that to achieve anything worthwhile, a person should attempt even those things that may turn out to be impossible. Through ambitious goals and aspirations, individuals can strive for greatness and make a lasting impact on the world. Robert Browning.

Most things only look difficult and impossible at first, but once you learn more about something, the less difficult it gets and the less impossible it becomes. The only difficult thing is taking that first step and having a commitment to take future steps. The goal itself is not that difficult. It's all about commitment. Don't let obstacles get in your way. Focus on your mission, which is to fix what is broken or damaged.

Setting the Bar High is a way to challenge someone by making them reach a higher level goal so they can become more skillful a lot faster than reaching for easy goals or lower levels of achievement. By setting high standards early, a person has a better idea about what is expected of them in the future. It is a means to establish the desired level of quality or competence that is required, which could make something hard to achieve or more difficult to accomplish, but more rewarding and more effective than having just easy goals, though gradually raising the bar can also be effective in reaching goals. This phrase appears to originate in the 1950s in the athletics field of pole vaulting. Setting the bar too high may make something impossible to achieve. Setting the bar low may make something too easy to do and may cause a false sense of accomplishment.

Detours - Obstacles - Feel like Quitting

Most goals are never a straight line, and priorities can sometimes change. Be flexible and be ready to adapt. Break the goals down into more manageable chunks. If you can't do one thing, then do another thing. Be the captain of your ship. Don't try to do it all, do as much as you can with the time you have. Try doing the things that are the most important first.

Sometimes goals can have detours. So you have to get back on track. Adversity is part of nature, and there's always two sides to every story.

The road to success has many potholes, wrong turns and dead ends. Don't let the road to success discourage you. If there's only one road, be thankful that there is a road. If you have to blaze a new trail, then do it, because millions of future generations will be thankful that you left a path for them to follow, and that you gave them a chance to blaze their own trail and repeat the process of progress.

Obstacle a something that blocks your way or prevents you from moving, or hinders progress. Something immaterial that stands in the way and must be circumvented or surmounted. An obstruction that stands in the way and must be removed, surmounted or circumvented.

Distractions - Losing Focus - Multitasking

Detour is a roundabout road that is used temporarily while a main route is blocked. A long or roundabout route that is taken to avoid something or to visit somewhere along the way.

Off Track means that you have lost focus and that you are distracted and are no longer working on your goals.

Stay on Track is to stay on the path that one is on and to continue doing the things one is doing. Keep on the track and you will end up where you want to be.

Back on Track means to return to the right path, or the right direction.

Of course there are other things other than constantly working on personal projects. There's always other responsibilities that you need to attend to. Some are new responsibilities and some are old responsibilities that have become a basic routine over the years. So when the end comes or when tragedy strikes, you'll be happy in knowing that you did almost everything that you could. No regrets and no shame, just gratitude.

When the Obstacle Becomes the Way Forward — Marcus Aurelius' Meditations 5.20 - The impediment to action advances action. What stands in the way becomes the way." This notion that the obstacles that prevent us from achieving our goals can be used—and in some cases may even be necessary—to achieve those very goals seems not just Pollyanna-like but also paradoxical. Things happen for a reason.

“The perfect journey is never finished, the goal is always just across the next river, round the shoulder of the next mountain. There is always one more track to follow, one more mirage to explore.” – Rosita Forbes.

I don't Feel Like it - Mistakes - Regrets

Quitters Day is when many people are most likely to quit and throw in the towel on their new year resolutions. People fall short of their New Year's goals, usually only two weeks into the new year. So the second Friday in January is known as quitter's day.

But people forget about the other days, which is contemplation day, get in touch day, evaluation day, check baseline day, pause day, and make up day, which is to make up for time off and to reassure yourself that you are committed to being healthy, physically and mentally. You got this. So what you had some off days or had some doubts. Don't sweat it, and don't guilt yourself. Just get on with it. Learning is part of your workout. Strong brain, strong body, strong life. Go get em tiger.

Sometimes when people lose their motivation, they didn't understand how much time was needed to invest in their good health. Poor planning, poor vision, poor attitude, and poor self education will always make person more vulnerable to losing direction and purpose. Optimum physical health and optimum mental health is your goal. Don't forget it.

Your Mission - Your Goals

Mission is a special assignment that is given to a person or group. A task or job that someone is given to do. A duty or purpose. Missionary is someone sent on a mission, sometimes for religious purposes.

Mission Statement is a short statement of why an organization exists, what its overall goal is, identifying the goal of its operations: what kind of product or service it provides, its primary customers or market, and its geographical region of operation. It may include a short statement of such fundamental matters as the organization's values or philosophies, a business's main competitive advantages, or a desired future state—the "vision". A mission is not simply a description of an organization by an external party, but an expression, made by its leaders, of their desires and intent for the organization. The purpose of a mission statement is to communicate the organization's purpose and direction to its employees, customers, vendors, and other stakeholders. A mission statement also creates a sense of identity for its employees. Organizations normally do not change their mission statements over time, since they define their continuous, ongoing purpose and focus. a commercial mission statement consists of three essential components: Key market: the target audience. Contribution: the product or service. Distinction: what makes the product unique or why the audience should buy it over another. Provides direction: Mission statements are a way to direct a business into the right path. They play a part in helping the business make better decisions which can be beneficial to them. Without the mission statement providing direction, businesses may struggle when it comes to making decisions and planning for the future. This is why providing direction could be considered one of the most advantageous points of a mission statement. Clear purpose: Having a clear purpose can remove any potential ambiguities that may surround the existence of a business. People who are interested in the progression of the business, such as stakeholders, will want to know that the business is making the right choices and progressing more towards achieving their goals, which will help to remove any doubt the stakeholders may have in the business. A mission statement can act as a motivational tool within an organization, and it can allow employees to all work towards one common goal that benefits both the organization and themselves. This can help with factors such as employee satisfaction and productivity. It is important that employees feel a sense of purpose. Giving them this sense of purpose will allow them to focus more on their daily tasks and help them realize the goals of the organization and their role. Unrealistic: In most cases, mission statements turn out to be unrealistic and far too optimistic. An unrealistic mission statement can also affect the performance and morale of the employees within the workplace. This is because an unrealistic mission statement would reduce the likelihood of employees being able to meet this standard which could demotivate employees in the long term. Unrealistic mission statements also serve no purpose and can be considered a waste of management's time. Another issue which could arise from an unrealistic mission statement is that poor decisions could be made in an attempt to achieve this goal which has the potential to harm the business and be seen as a waste of both time and resources. Waste of time and resources: Mission statements require planning. This takes time and effort for those who are responsible for creating the mission statement. If the mission statement is not achieved, then the process of creating the mission statement could be seen as a waste of time for all of the people involved. A lot of thought and time can be spent in designing a good mission statement, and to have all of that time wasted is not what businesses can afford. The wasted time could have been spent on much more important tasks within the organization such as decision-making for the business. questions must be answered in the mission statement: “What do we do?” — The mission statement should clearly outline the main purpose of the organization, and what they do. “How do we do it?” — It should also mention how one plans on achieving the mission statement. "Whom do we do it for?” — The audience of the mission statement should be clearly stated within the mission statement. “What value are we bringing?” — The benefits and values of the mission statement should be clearly outlined. When designing a mission statement, it should be very clear to the audience what the purpose of it is. It is ideal for a business to be able to communicate their mission, goals and objectives to the reader without including any unnecessary information through the mission statement.

Milestone is a significant event in your life or a step that has been completed in a project that you're working on. Just like the milestone posts on the side of a road that shows distances, milestones in your life will allow you to see how far you have come and how much you have learned so far, and at the same time, show how far you still need to go and the things that you still need to know and understand. Life is a Journey on a road that has many dangers, twists and turns and amazing events. Always remember how far you have come and where you came from. Remember the journey that has bought you here to this very moment in time. Now you need to look ahead and know where you're going.

This description typically explains who the thing is for, what it does, why it is needed, and how it will get done. Finally, when explaining an individual person, the description generally explains one's skills and goals, and why they would be a productive and beneficial person to have on a team or within a company or project. An elevator pitch does not have to include all of these components, but it usually does at least explain what the idea, product, company, or person is and their value.

Batch Processing is the execution of a series of jobs in a program on a computer without manual intervention (non-interactive). Strictly speaking, it is a processing mode: the execution of a series of programs each on a set or "batch" of inputs, rather than a single input (which would instead be a custom job). However, this distinction has largely been lost, and the series of steps in a batch process are often called a "job" or "batch job".

Batch Production is a technique used in manufacturing, in which the object in question is created stage by stage over a series of workstations, and different batches of products are made. Together with job production (one-off production) and mass production (flow production or continuous production) it is one of the three main production methods.

Batch File consists of a series of commands to be executed by the command-line interpreter, stored in a plain text file. A batch file may contain any command the interpreter accepts interactively and use constructs that enable conditional branching and looping within the batch file, such as "if", "for", "goto" and labels. The term "batch" is from batch processing, meaning "non-interactive execution", though a batch file may not process a batch of multiple data.
