EYF 1: Smart Goals for Smart Youth
Enrich is proud to organize its first youth forum under the theme “Smart goal for smart youth” on March 24, 2013 at the Cambodia-Japan Cooperation Center in Phnom Penh. The forum was participated by 500 people, including high school and university students, NGO representatives, private sector representative, the media and the public.
Goals are what take us forward in life. They are the first steps to every journey we embark on and the foundation for all of the steps in between. Youth should try to make goals (short term or long term) throughout their life, because only through this process of goal setting can they ever become successful. Goals are what give us direction in life. By setting goals we give ourselves a target to shoot for. This direction allows our minds to focus on the target and rather than waste energy shooting here and there, allows us to hit the target and reach our goal. By setting goals we are also able to measure our progress as we always have a definite endpoint in mind. When we set goals we are given a certain sense of responsibility. It is this sense of responsibility which helps to overcome procrastination and laziness. In the end one of the main purposes of goal setting is to provide motivation and drive. Having goals by your side is like having an unlimited supply of fuel to push you forward.
