Goals,Why you need to have some.

GOAL SETTING

If you were to ask a President or CEO of any company he/she would tell you they set a goal to get where they are today. Goals are essential to being successful.

As with anything in life most of us  have a goal in mind but never define what the goal is. If you can't state it on paper or out loud, will it ever happen?

Setting goals is an easy but time consuming task. This is how I do it. I get a piece of paper. Start writing down what you want from your job, home, things you want and stuff you would like to do for others.

 Break it down into individual category's i.e. home, work, personal and stuff. First, you'll need to put them in order of importance per category. Second, pick the top of each category, then get very specific with each one. Here is an example.

I need to loose 50 lbs.
I will loose 50 lbs in 6 months.
I will loose 8  lbs a month.
I will to loose 2 lbs a week.
How will I loose 2 lbs a week.
I will walk a mile every other day.
I will also put my fork down between bites.
I will also drink a full glass of water before I eat meals and snacks.

When you do this you can visualize how it's going to happen. Check mark each day what you've accomplished. At the end of the day you will feel good and you will see results.

Americans,still in high school!

Are Americans still in high school? That's a question I overheard today. The person was describing the similarities of high school pettiness and the news coverage on celebs and athletes.

I found that I agreed with her almost completely, she  was saying that in high school the "popular kids and the atletes were almost always given a pass. It didn't matter what happend they were special.

The poor kids and non-athletic were outcast not only by the popular kids but, many of the faculty as well. The really smart kids were nerds and geeks.

You hear how Ceo's and president's of companies are demonized, for the amount of money they make, their political choice and, decisions that they make to  keep the business going.

While celebrities are able to get away with almost anything and we almost never hear a complaint about how much they make to act in a movie. Athletes have come under fire for their salaries lately but, there isn't a pay czar regulating athletes pay.

When a company CEO gets into trouble, there's hell to pay. He/She will probably be lambasted by the media even if the accusation is unfounded.

The celeb will almost always be given the benefit of the doubt and, if they are guilty a tear and re-hab will get the media on their side. 

This all sounds vaguely familiar to me. I could go on and on but I think you get the point.

SO I HAVE TO ASK!

What does this say about our culture? 

Why are Americans so "star struck"?

Why are we stuck in high school?
