...From my assessment, I need to re-align my goals and objectives in a way in which I am intrinsically and extrinsically satisfied. After reviewing the webinar, the Roadmap to Success, and the online article by James Gonyea, I am convinced I am at a standstill and a turning point in my career path. I enjoy helping and serving people, I discovered I would like to remain in the healthcare industry for the long haul. Identify your long-term goals. After careful thought, my short-term goal (8 months) is to complete my degree which is my primary task at this point in my career goals. For my short-long-term goal (1-2 years) I envision myself as an activity director of an assisted living facility, a healthcare compliance manager, or community service administrator. Where would you like to be one to five years from now? In the next five years, I foresee myself as gainfully employed as a director or manager at a public health facility, community service director, or an assisted living facility activity director. What is the industry and role you would like to pursue for your career?...

...feels so good to say that. Clearly, one of my short term goals is to graduate high school and go to college to further my studies in, becoming a physician. This goal is very obvious, yet something that I have been very excited for a very long time. Royal blue gown and cap walking across the stage is simply marvelous to experience. Additionally, I hope to continue working hard in my classes, especially my AP classes. I strive towards scoring a 4 or 5 on my AP exams coming up in May. Aside from academics, I have a strong passion for robotics, so this year I hope to qualify for State to bring my one step closer in making it to Worlds/International. Additionally, it would be so nice to take my team to State. Senior year is here and the only regret I had was not putting in more time towards my social life such as going out with my friends to the movies or bowling. It is never too late to change that, so I have been doing so. I also hope to come up with an amazing promposal to impress a girl that I have been dying to ask. Together, these goals are related by primarily being goals that I formed while at school. My priorities would be graduating high school and go to college....

...Deciding when Short-term or Long-term Goals Drive a Decision Rickey Paradise GEN480 MAY 09, 2013 Professor Annie Debeljak University of Phoenix Deciding when Short-term or Long-term Goals Drive a Decision To determine the difference in short-term and long-term decisions one must understand that most decisions have both. As a planner and estimator making difficult decisions is a daily occurrence. The decisions made today effect the long-term decisions because the goal may change, such as making a schedule to complete a task. The long term estimated delivery of the product may be six months away. However, the short-term goals and decisions to achieve the goal effect the scheduled date because bottlenecks occur, such as retrieving the parts to complete the task on time. Personal goals have the same consequences. Planning his or her education is a one way to understand this concept. If an individual makes a decision to obtain his or her degree in two years the long-term goal is set. However, during the course of the year a tragedy occurs and the individual has to change the long-term goal because the short-term goals are affected. Critical thinking while setting the goal may have solved the problem. Allowing for inconvenient occurrences while setting the long-term goal helps to maintain the set schedule. Setting goals require making small steps to obtain the long-range goal. Monitoring the short-term goals is one way to achieve the long-term goal. According to Rosen L...

...For as long as I could remember I have always had an interest in a career in sports. Whether it was wanting to be a Denver Broncos Cheerleader as a child or wanting to help teach Tae Kwon Do after receiving my black belt in fifth grade or now wanting to be a part of a public relations team for an NFL team, sports has always had a huge impact on my short term and long term career goals. As a young child I begged my parents to allow me to play sports and to sign me up for all the sports my friends were also playing. Unfortunately, due to my parents work schedules I was never able to truly play the team sports I wanted to and would usually end up just playing by myself in the backyard on the weekends and after school. Fortunately, in first grade...

Some times managers tend to just get down to business and not think about formulating a plan, because of time restraints that might push out deadlines. When I walk into a task that is being ask of me to deal with I will usually look at what needs to be done before actually doing the work, thus formulating a plan in which to accomplish the objective. Some supervisors found this as a means to drag out doing the work thinking I didn’t know what...

...enhance my SAP skills to a more managerial role. The program for strategy Field study would help me learn from case based and real time scenarios in actual situations, which would help me, get a firsthand experience of project planning and timelines. The Global Leadership program of the Schulich MBA is in itself a great opportunity to lead and develop one’s experience and be able to network across with people from different backgrounds. This would help me gain perspective on how different people function, on how various business functions and project implementations in various markets are affected by the competition and markets while enabling me to effectively communicate with individuals from around the globe.

...Professional and Personal Goals December 12, 2011 Someone famous once wrote, “A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.” That’s deep! But, in a way, it’s obvious and should go without saying. However, so many people try to just jump the whole thousand miles at once and seem to forget that careful steps and rest stops must be made along the way to successfully (the main word is successfully ) complete that journey. I’ve had my goals and aspirations for a long time but I’m not sure that I ever started out in the most organized fashion. My professional goals remain the same but I now realize that effective time management is the main way to achieve my goals in a less stressful manner. I understand that setting goals is very important so that one can determine what is important and what is not. It helps one concentrate on the big picture and gives one the freedom to spend less time on the not so important things. The goals that are set should be attainable, specific, measurable, realistic, and timely. My professional short term goal is to acquire a staff or per diem position at one of the few hospitals in the area which are willing to hire nurses with associate degrees. I was, until I started school, a traveling nurse, but, due to the course of study I am undergoing, I’ve had to stop traveling. My professional long term goal is to ultimately receive a master’s degree so that I can become a nurse practitioner or a clinical instructor. I...

...Everyone has goals in their life. Although I cannot speak for everyone, I can definitely say that these goals have made me grow. In a strictly academic lens both my short and long term goals deal with academics. Within my short term goal, I have set myself to graduate from high school while maintaining good grades. Though this seems easy, there is more to it than what the naked eye alone can see. During senior year one must start preparing for graduation and college if one plans to go to college, yet there are other events being held for seniors in celebration of their accomplishments throughout high school. For me this point in life everything becomes difficult due to the transitional phrase people undergo between teenagers to adulthood....

...Goals are the foundation to the success of every aspiring individual. Without goals where would we be not only as a nation but as race? Everyone dreams of becoming someone their mother can be proud and someone who can make a difference in the world in which we live. Having short term goals and long term goals gives a person something to plan and work towards. A short term goal that I have would be finishing high school and college with a high grade point average. My grades have always been a top priority to me and that goal will continue into my college career. I hope to graduate from the University of Southern Mississippi with an impressive resume. This will help me along with my ultimate goal of becoming a clinical psychologist. The clinical psychology program only accepts a certain number of applicants a year so it is crucial I stand out in the crowd....

...If you knew me, you would know that I am full of dreams and that I set high goals for myself. Those goals have lead me to where I am today by motivating me to do better each and every day to eventually achieve them. My short-term goals include: learning German, raising my ACT score and my grades, and being healthier. My long-term goals include: moving to Germany to raise my family, leave college debt-free, and being an amazing mom. All of my short-term goals correlate with my long term-goals because I feel like everything in a person's life causes the events that take place in the future one way or another. I really want to learn German because it has always been a dream of mine to visit Germany and eventually live and grow there with...

...center, I encountered patients whose diseases effected their strength, flexibility, and endurance, which further hindered and demotivated patients to climb stairs, walk, run, or lift items. Many patients lack the physical and mental motivation to exercise simply because it may hurt beyond the usual fatigue. Columbia University's 32 week clinical rotation criteria highlights an opportunity for future students to recognize various patients' diagnosis enough to map rehabilitation treatment plans that promote exercise and prevent further medical problems linked to immobility. In discussions of my goals after earning a DPT degree, I want to learn rehabilitation techniques for treating and preventing patients from becoming inactive due to one's medical condition, and after employment, I want to specialize in geriatrics to promote exercise in elderly patients with degenerative diseases. My short-term goal is to acquire academic and clinical experience from Columbia University to help disease stricken patients' exercise despite pain and limited mobility. For instance, many obese patients upper body weight can put pressure on the knee and ankle joints causing depreciation that result in arthritis, which is enough inflammation and pain to discourage a patient from being active. As a solution, I read how physical therapists are making exercising pain free and lively for such patients by encouraging swimming, water aerobics, aquajogging, or in pool walking. For this reason, I want to be a physical...

...Setting the Short-term and Long-term Goals for Newlyweds It is important for the newlyweds to have a financial plans set up as it helps them have a focus in life and have a reason for saving money. The short-term goals would involve things that would not require a lot of money and thus would be achieved in a short time. The long-term goals on the other hand would entail things that require a lot of money to accomplish and thereby take more time to complete (McKeown, 2012). Short-term Goals The first short term goal that I would advise the couple to set is improving the outlook of their house. This would include buying equipment that they do not have but they need them. These items include things such as furniture and electrical appliances. They would do a research on the prices of the gadgets in the market and thereby be able to note the specific target in terms of money. They would then set the amount that they should save monthly towards the furniture and electrical appliances (Hallman & Rosenbloom, 2003). The couple should also target at clearing all their financial debts. They should set aside a specific sum of money monthly to pay these debts. After clearing their debts they should then save up money, which they can use, in case they face a financial problem. This would help them avoid getting into debts in the future (Hallman & Rosenbloom, 2003). They should also save for their annual vacation. This should be done throughout the years since each year they...

...As a teenager, it is way too soon to decide on a major that will determine the rest of my life. Lucky for me, I had the privilege to take a variety of different classes during my high school career to help me discover my college major and form new goals. Classes like weight training, chemistry, band, creative writing, and American politics never truly sparked a flame in my heart. But, when I took the computer programming class my senior year, I finally knew. Everything escalated from that semester on. I built my own computer, learned how to build a website, and even took on an intermediate programming class. Without these variety of classes, I may have never found my passion for computers. Having the opportunity of taking various classes in different fields allowed me to shape my own goals and let me experience the world in a different perspective....

...Memory Carmela Briggs Psychology111 9/24/13 Memory Long-Term Memory is what stores events, skills, and things that we need for functioning in everyday life. It is how we remember our names and the names of our friends, family, and the people we are often in close contact with. It is vital to remember skills such as how to brush our teeth, get dressed, cook food, ride a bike, drive a car, and learn in our educational system. Without it, we would need assistance just to get through everyday life. On the other hand, short-term memory only briefly stores information. When dealing with short term memory, you may hear something one moment and within a few seconds not be able to recall what you just heard. To go back a day later and try to recall that information may be challenging because the information is no longer there. In knowing this when it comes to studying its best to do it in a repetitive manner. The more you read and look over something, the better chance you have of getting it stored in your long-term memory. So when it is necessary to retrieve the information it is there. Looking over some material only once may serve no purpose when test time comes. The information may be placed in your short- term memory and may be gone moments after reading. So, for best results when trying to retain information at a later date it is always best to do it with the long term memory in mind. Attention Giving focused attention to what is being read helps to make better sense of...
