My 6th Sense Analysis on GOAL

Many a times we complain our near and dear ones about the dislikes of the job that we have in our hand. We want to move out of what we have in our hand and get into something else. But we are not sure of what we like in the long way to come. We just feel that the work I do currently is stupid and get into a more challenging job. Imagine a company having 10000 people and each one of them asking for a challenging job which is quite not possible.
Usually we are not aware of what we want to be in our profession. One common answer we hear is, to be a successful professional. Ask them how do they go about it. just no clue.
A sucessful professional has a goal in mind and in turn makes shoft term goals which takes him towards that final goal. Just applying that logic to a professional who wants to become a tech architect, what steps does he/she has to follow. The work that a person does may not always take you towards your goal but that should not stop one from moving towards it. Instead make short term goals in the career like designing mini project that involves all by yourself or with your friends. A person just cannot run towards the goal. They need to understand the skills required and start working on it.
These short term goals let a person to discover where do they stand in pursung their dreams. Another big advnatage of achieving those shorter goal makes is that it makes one believe in his/her capabilities.This pushes us to cross our barrier and think of doing somehing big next time. When you make people known of what you have done then they get to know what you are capable of. Conveying message through actions and facts is better way then just saying it. One has to convince yourself first that you can do it and then convince others about it. IF you cant convince yourself then you will never convince others.This reminds me of a sayng "You are the best... you just have to prove it".
Having small small achievable goals boosts the moral of a person. It leads to motivate yourself. The best motivation that a person can have is the self motivation. When we start trusting ourself , We don't have to look out for others always to gain motivation to move ahead in life.
I remember one funny incident in my school. In my PUC II nd year, an X-student of my school had come. He was quite famous in school as he had joined IIT and had a superb CET ranking. We interacted with him and understood what he was upto. He said that he works in US and was working on weather forecasting. We were so excited listening to what work he was doing. The day he left, everyone in my batch started reading IIT entrance exam book including me. As days passed we again lost interest in it and we were back to the state where we started off. What we all tend to do is to copy a successful person. But what we miss out is the reason behind being successful. This reminds me of a saying "you are born original.. Don't die as copy".
Let us have our own original goal in place and proceeds towards it using the learnings from the successful people instead of copying their goal as ours. The motivation from others is not permanent. we always look out for such things to happen to us to keep us motivating . But instead you trust yourself and be able to self motivate yourself, then it is like you dont have to wait for the fuel from others instead you can regenarte fuel and keep moving in life.
It is just my sixth sense analysis on the goals of a person :P
