5 . The New Year is always a time of new beginnings, a time for a change, and a time to set goals.    1     Here are some tips for setting career goals in a new year:

Reflect on Your Year

Take some time to consider your career in the year that just ended. If you dislike your job, try to figure out why. Is it due to the work itself, or something about the workplace? If you like what you do, and it’s outside factors that you find limiting, it might make sense to make your goal to find a new position.     2    

Engage in Career Research

    3    Start to read about careers of interest by browsing websites or publications at your local bookstore or library. Identify two new careers to research each week, and keep a diary of your interest in each. For those fields with a genuine appeal, make a list of questions to research so that you can fully evaluate the suitability of that career for you.

Check Out What Your Friends Do

    4     Think about the roles of colleagues, suppliers, or clients that might be a good fit for you, and interview them about the nature of their work. Share your skills list with them, and ask for help brainstorming career options that might be worth considering within their sections.

Gain New Skills

If you want to take up a new career, consider volunteering to gain additional experience, or taking classes to learn new skills.    5    

A．Always be ready to learn and aim to be better.

B．Activate your curiosity about the work lives of people in your social network.

C．If you are totally in love with what you do, aim higher, and strive to be better.

D．Spend some time assessing what you like and dislike about your current situation.

E．Many people look forward to changing career paths and aiming for bigger dreams.

F．The more you research, the easier it will be to make decisions and set goals for yourself.

G．The same holds true if you feel positive about your field, but are ready for more significant responsibilities.

6 . Why can’t some people even get an inch of what they dream of becoming? Blame it on pure dreaming and lack of surrounding goals for achieving their dreams.

Setting goals is very significant part of accomplishing and positive actions. It is like scaling (攀爬) a 200 feet construction and marking in the early hours on what feet you would like to reach at this specific period.

People who set goals literally generate a map of their goal settings in life, marking where they should start, where to pause, where to study a bit, and where and when to end. Once this map comes into being, it allows the map drawer to check where he is in the scheme (安排) of things and whether or not he is making some planning that will take him closer to his goals.

By surrounding goals, people will know how they are doing and what they should be doing to get their goals or dreams in life. They will know if they can relax or if they have to double their efforts when they are falling short of what is expected of them.

Goal surroundings means a person isproactivein dealing with challenges that may affect his plans. Being proactive means one is able to outline possible difficulties that may occur as well as the solutions to these difficulties. By doing this, a person is not easily scared or defeated when challenges occur because he has already prepared for them. He knows they can happen and he has prepared a solution or strategy when that time comes.

Setting goals will enable people to track their progress in whatever hard work they set out to do. It will help people become more confident in themselves and more motivated to get their plans.
