SAMPLE ANSWER

Goals play an indispensable role in our life. Here, I’d like to talk about a time when I set the goal of reducing my social media usage.

In general, I’m not very active on Facebook, Instragram and other social platforms. But, last year during winter vacations I started spending a considerable amount of time on Facebook. Long discussions with friends about the latest Hollywood movies, reality shows and celebrities became a daily routine.

Initially, it was full of fun and I didn’t think that it could affect my studies. Within 4 weeks, however, the whole situation changed. My performance in the preliminary exams conducted after the holidays was very poor. I failed in 2 subjects: physics and mathematics.

The reason was obvious to me. The holidays that were meant for final exam preparation were wasted in social networking and chats. Certainly, if I’d studied hard, this wouldn’t have happened. On the way to home, a big dilemma prevailed over me: Should I show the report card to my parents or not? Despite knowing that it was wrong, I chose to hide the result. Had they seen it, they would’ve been very disappointed. That day I set the goal of decreasing my social media time and study well.

To achieve my goal, the first thing I did was to deactivate my Facebook account temporarily. Setting up a timetable was the next phase of the plan. For months together, I chased the lost time. In the end, the outcome was positive – I passed the final exams with excellent grades. Even though it may seem small, it was a big goal for a 14-year-old high school student.

At last, I decided to show the hidden report card to my parents along with the final report card. They seemed to be proud that I’d noticed my own faults and worked upon them, but they also stressed that they were my parents for a reason and I ought to come to them when such a mistake occurs.

PART – 3 FOLLOW UPS

1. Do people need to write down targets or just memorize them?

I live to write down my objectives. It just offers that additional motivation because of a weak moment or when we are having a terrible day, and we feel like giving up.

2. Do Indian people usually set goals?

Yes, many Indian people do. I recall on 1st of January, many of my buddies and I share our new year goals and resolutions.

3. Should parents set targets for children?

I believe parents should inspire children to maintain aims, but I don’t Think parents should themselves keep their goals. Because I think if children don’t maintain the aims, they won’t possess exactly the same degree of motivation to fulfil them.

4. When do young men and women begin setting targets for themselves?

I think there’s no fixed age. It all depends upon the person’s Maturity and degree of responsibility. Some people begin keeping goals at a very early age like at ten or twelve, while others begin keeping goals after attaining adulthood. Goal setting is much more about self-fulfilment and creating oneself better and that understanding to make oneself better sometimes come early and sometimes late.

5. What are the sorts of goals that are unrealistic?

I think goals which are in tune with an Individual’s Personality are realistic. I mean should I choose to do something which would need me to make a radical shift in my personality, I wouldn’t be able to achieve it. So that would be unrealistic for me.

6. Do young people and old individuals have different sorts of goals? What are they?

I think both no and yes. Are more about accomplishing something in existence, while targets for older men and women are about helping their young achieve their aims in life. No, because sometimes targets can be similar also, for example, I see both young and old attempting to shed weight and look smart at the gyms
