This one step -
choosing a goal and sticking to it - changes everything. I have read plenty of
articles about setting goals and reaching them, so I am aware I need an
accurate plan, therefore I’m turning on my music and start to dream, certainly without
no limits and barriers. All those plans and wishes are coming into my mind: to
learn another foreign language, to master Photoshop, to travel here and there,
to lose weight, to become a volunteer for an orphanage, to start yoga and
dancing classes and many others.....such a mess. It looks like I need to
categorize them, so I divide another sheet of paper into 8 sections and entitle
them: family, education, career, financial, artistic, attitude, physical,
pleasure etc. After having some order
it’s time to establish a priority – I numerate my dreams from 1 to 50 where one
is the most reasonable for me. And finally I set deadlines.

My watch shows midnight and my mind defines 3,5 goals for the next three months:
1. Eternal
problem of losing weight has never become so sharp for me as now. Nearly 5
years ago I had good shapes and was quite satisfied with it, thus it made me
lazy and relaxed so I didn't bother myself with training or healthy eating. As
a result +5kg, and if you are almost 1,5m high you can understand that 5kg is a
big “achievement”. So finally the crucial day has come and I have to say bye to
my 5 kg. The goal number one – minus 5 kg.
2. Since many years I have been
so hopeless cook and actually didn’t suffer much, but 2015 has become my year
of changing and I feel a huge need to turn into a cooking expert. Mostly
because of the first goal ( I mean willing to loose my 5 kg), but to live
without sweets is impossible mission for me, so I have to find the compromise,
mine is to cook healthy but delicious sweets – without sugar, butter, oils etc.
The goal number two – 10 healthy but toothsome
sweet dishes for daily pleasure..jpg)
3. I have never been interested
in IT, but this year I realized I have been passing over smth very important. Either
we want it or not but IT is the future and as it turned out I am absolutely far
from this future, for this reason my third goal is to learn the basic of maintenance of the websites - Web design.
FOR SURE GOAL

So I am a kindergarten teacher
and I love my job a lot, for this reason I always call my group “my kids”,
cause those children have made a really long and deep path into my heart and I
think my kids are the best in the world (of course =) ). Being 4-5 years old
they can count to 150, add, subtract and write; they play theatre, flute and
violoncello, they do karate and dance ballet , they can name 20 famous pictures
and artists, recognize the most popular
European sightseeing and even tell you the difference between for instance
gothic and renaissance style, moreover they do it in fluent English, Spanish or
Chinese. Yeah, I am not joking here – they can do even more. And only few weeks
ago my goal would have been to teach them reading, but I went to Birkenau recently
and that trip had changed my plans completely. Probably everybody has heard
those horrible stories about that place, but it was nothing in comparison with
the real feeling, when I was walking the same way those poor people did and
felt their pain and horror, my guide did a perfect job, cause at the end of the
excursion just in front of the main entrance to that death camp I recovered my
sight. I realized so clearly that all of that was created by super smart
people: scientific, psychologies, mathematics, doctors, lawyers etc., the
system was perfectly planned and worked,
they did their job, got money for it, they were returning home to their
families, kids and were becoming loving parents and husbands or wives, next
morning they started their black duties again....how come? How could it happen?
I was nearly crying there, torturing myself for the wrong priorities I had established
in teaching. Surely I do educational job, but the priority is still knowledge,
facts, materials – the things they will always be able to gain, but the
humanity is smth you have to lay at the very beginning, it’s smth that can be
lost, can be missed and then the consequences can be too painful, too
incorrigible. I taught them to be smart, now I have to teach them how to use
their knowledge in a good, positive direction. So my goal is to teach my kids
humanity, to make it a compulsory subject in my kindergarten, to create an
entire curriculum for it. This will be MY FOR SURE GOAL, so the 4th
one in my list. I believe I can do it so I will
