“I doubt the existence of a person without goals”
Hz. Mevlana
A fighter jet pilot who does not know the coordinates to hit, a student who does not know which exam is tomorrow while sitting down to study, a farmer who does not know which crop he is carrying in sacks when he comes to the field for planting, a confused person at the terminal because he does not think about where he will go when he goes on vacation. couple. How ridiculous does it look? Can such a thing happen? Each of these people accesses this information in advance and prepares. In other words, they set their goals; Otherwise, you might say, how foolish it is to attempt something without setting a goal. TRUE! In fact, we perform many of our behaviors in line with the goals we choose. However, most of these are short-term goals that can quickly turn into pleasure, are not challenging, and do not require excessive struggle. However, human beings are not very happy with achieving small goals. It desires to meet the basic needs we mentioned at the beginning of our book. This is a feature of creation, and being useless makes a person unhappy, no matter how careless they seem. That's why those who don't really have a purpose, who can't produce and who can't be successful, lie as if all these things are happening, or they want to get into the same pot by exaggerating their small successes. A strong need to prove its existence.
Be careful with inanimate objects! Electrons orbiting around atomic nuclei are even more dynamic than living ants. In the universe, many planets, stars and galaxies that we know to be lifeless are running around in their orbits with millimeter calculations. Oh living creatures! The story of the cicada is just a story. It's just an analogy to human beings being lazy in the summer and needing ants in the winter. No animal would beg for another animal if human beings did not intervene. Because the sensitive programs in his genetics, that is, his instincts, describe all the paths and never stop fighting. Begging on earth is a job that only humans engage in. I wish such an endeavor never existed. All living creatures, from the smallest microorganisms to the most gigantic creatures, pursue an infallible goal. They never give up and always achieve countless successes in their fields. However, there are those who are much more magnificent than them. Why can't humans, who are the only beings equipped with attachments and able to constantly develop thanks to their intelligence, which none of them have, be more combative and successful? For this, think once again about where you are going and why you are going!
These needs may not always be physical; It may be psychological. For example, people generally stay with people who love them. Have you ever heard someone say, "I love living with people who hate me?" The aim here is to meet the need to be loved. The artist, who desires to be a good artist, expects people to like and appreciate his works. Appreciation is also a need. Even a small child turns and looks back when he manages to climb onto the sofa bed; So that they can celebrate and appreciate it. You wonder why people fight so much for seats? Gaining status and respect is also a need. A student who is preparing for the university exam has chosen a profession he likes, Medicine. In fact, its implicit purpose is the prestige of the medical profession.
"Great men have goals, others have onlywishes." WORLD PROVERB
For an idea to turn into a goal, it must go through the following stages:
“Strong decisions are the product of strong desires.”
Our dreams are needs and desires. Once we have established expectations, it is very important how much we want that dream. That's why a champion emerges from hundreds of racers. A prime minister is elected from among millions. None of them say they were lucky, because they do not want to be unfaithful to their desires that penetrate their bones like feverish fever and their excessive sweat. The first 50 thousand of the university's nearly two million candidates can enter the desired departments. This requires performance that will surpass more than a million people. It is really difficult to pass such an exam. Of course, there are prices he wants. Those who pay the price can triumph. If you think about the cost of the Turkish people's victory of independence, if we include the Balkan, Russian, World War I and War of Independence, you will see the blood of millions. orphaned You see millions of people who have lost their spouses, fallen into hunger and misery, whose homes have been invaded and taken captive, and whose property and honor have been attempted. So, what is our price? Will we sacrifice our lives, health and happiness to pass this exam? No. We will not have any losses that will wear us out or cause permanent damage. We will only organize some of our pleasures, entertainment, leisure time and social activities. We can shorten it a little, we can postpone it, we will organize it without becoming robotized, but being aware of our work. We will also gain learning techniques and equipment that are other requirements for success. And ultimately, we will live with the self-confidence of a successful person and as our own champion for the rest of our lives. We will aim for the life we dream of and finally achieve it. Say what? Should our dreams remain just dreams, or should we make them a goal and run after them until we achieve them?
The success levels of the majority of people are below their capacities. The first step in turning potential into performance is to discover our capacity and develop a suitable goal. People who set their goals sometimes focus only on an area they are interested in. Some people choose a target that they do not actually like just because of its prestige. All goalless people fail, as do those with goals who fail to choose according to the right qualities. As Yunus Emre said hundreds of years ago, a person must first know himself. Students who do not know their potential generally avoid taking risks by setting smaller goals. Some people have to set very high goals and work hard, but still cannot achieve the success they want. This time, he spends a lot of energy and his self-confidence gradually decreases. Even though he puts in a lot of effort, he cannot achieve success. According to Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences, considering the intelligence evaluated in at least eight intelligence areas and the degree of mental performance, it is understood that understanding the brain is both very necessary and a little difficult. Let's say a person's mathematical intelligence is very developed, but his verbal skills are less developed. This student's work in this direction by saying "I love literature" shows that he only sets goals based on his interest. This time both the current development He will not be able to use his business intelligence field, and will have to make a lot of effort to hold a place in his other field. However, we cannot say that he will be a very good writer. Of course, someone who puts a lot of effort in a field can reach certain points and even be successful. What is really meant here is the economical use of mental energy and achieving superior success in a shorter time and in a healthier way. Otherwise, we cannot aim to limit people by their abilities. However, the fact that there are certain inherent genetic limitations is an undeniable fact. Despite this, talents can be improved and weak areas can be strengthened.
THINGS TO CONSIDER WHEN SELECTING A GOAL:
Fatih' Watch your target often, like the sketch of Istanbul on your pillow. Imagine often the moment we reach it. Imagine your joy, your enthusiasm, the happiness of your loved ones. Especially when you don't want to study and lie in bed…
