FIRST PART

The first part of the goal setting is to set a goal of searching the answer of the following question

How can I gain pleasure in study?

We know that pleasure is the motivator that helps us to get better of what we are doing. Hence, one of the goal that we have to set is to find how to gain pleasure in study. Achieving an enjoying state in studying is the first purpose I am going to reveal to you. 

It is our life purpose to enjoy life every second, enjoying life is our long life purpose. It is the purpose that we are born in this world. Hence, we should integrate our life purpose to our study goal setting.  Every time, before you start study, ask yourself the following question.

If you are studying something that require a lot of mindpower,

ask yourself how can you explain this stuff to a little kid.

When you can trying to figure out to explain something very complicated to a little kid, in fact, what you are doing was to simplify what you are study, when the material you study is easy, you have more motivation to do it and the fact is when a person perceive something that are easy, he tends to learn very fast.

The first part of goal is to determine that you are going to enjoy study

SECOND PART

Here comes the second part of the goal setting which is to set your target score.

In relation of setting a target score, you have to take the following points into consideration

1) Clarity

Goals have to be clarify. Most of the people setting an ambigious goal, our mind can only help us to perform effectively IF ONLY YOU GIVE A CLARIFY INSTRUCTION TO IT. 

2) The words of "must"

When writing one of your goal setting statement, use the word "must", our word is extremely powerful and what words we use is the determinant that shape our own reality. Using the word "hope" is implying that you are not being want to get your desired result badly, do you? Let consider the below statement

"In this test, I hope I can get 80 marks"

So your brain is going to pick up like this

"you hope huh? Did you mean that even though your potential isn't fully awaken to help you to get 80 marks, you also don't mind huh? Well, if that is the case, let take it easy, shall we?"

Most people fail in achieving their desired goal because of poorly chosen vocabulary. You must use the word "must"

3) Focus

I have told you that your vocabulary you use is the determinant of who you really are. Hence, it is wise to choose a vocabulary that provide you focus on your goal. The word "only" must be use.

Now, let me provide you an sample of goal setting statement and all you have to do is to fill in the blanks

"In this test, I am going to get ___________ marks as my desired goal. This is the ONLY  marks I am going to get in this test, not less than that, not more than that. I must attain this goal and I know I WILL attain it."
