Go for it !

I believe the first and basic step to achieve all goals is being conscious exactly what you want to achieve. You can't achieve your goals unless you pass the first step. I mean if you ignore it you will be confused and mixed up in the middle of the way. Also I must add that it's very useful to express your aims into positive words. By this tip you can control your temptation whenever it is necessary. After that you should pay attention to set a target which is on your control, this point is more obvious in group works such as a competition. In fact you are aware about your own abilities and don’t have enough information about the others and participants' abilities. So you can just talk and think about yourself and it's better to just try hardly and do your best instead of thinking about win.
As you see I do agree with the counselor "Katarina Borg" about 3 tips which I mentioned, but I'm against her in this case that we must set our targets according to our abilities. In my opinion every person will be born with some particular abilities and talents which inherently exist in some ones personality, however It is possible for every person to grow and increase them by learning, practice,…So you shouldn’t be concerned about the abilities you don’t have, because you can achieve them with attempts and trying for several times.
The other point which is useful to know is picturing your favorites in order to choose your goals and don’t think about the others expectations, in this way you will have enough motivation to continue.
Finally be careful about setting opposing objects. In fact when you decide to achieve an object you may have to ignore some of your interests, it depends on you which of them are on the preference, so don’t set goals which are in conflict with each other. I hope you will be succeed by fallowing these tips.
