Just a thought for the day on how different people perceive their goals. Understanding the way people make their progress towards goals determines whether they will achieve it or not. Based on type of focus they make people can be classified under two categories.
People focusing on ultimate goals
These are the people that focus much on their goals. They can be inspired by often reminding of their ultimate goals. They get satisfied by sheer percentage of progress they make. There will always be procrastination in achieving goals. So they can be kindled by setting a little bit higher benchmark than actual goal. Most of the society thinks all the people are of this kind.
People focusing on the stepping stones to ultimate goals
These type of people in the first place had chose their goals for the love of work they do on the way to goals. They sometimes even forget about their goals but they simply focus on everyday tasks, accomplishment of which gives them satisfaction. Sometimes they are even little bit frightened and doubtful at the big goals set in from of them, so they begin to feel their ultimate goal as unrealistic. This will evidently result in procrastination. So setting a higher benchmark than actual goal will only negatively influence them. They can be inspired by making them accomplish what they love, the smaller goals on the way to ultimate goals.They will gradually reach their goals subconsciously this way.
This my personal opinion for people who are working on their goals and the mentors who are helping them. If you find this interesting or contradicting please leave a comment, that way I will be satisfied that someone understood my idea.
