Merit vs Mediocrity
As you near the end of your home school high school years and think about what is next, you want to focus on education that will help you be the best you can be, not just slid along.
In today’s political world, there is the tendency to “let everyone win” or “pass” regardless of ability.
There are reasons why this is not good.
Not everyone is going to be good at everything. Not everyone will get the same grade. It is good to let natural talent and hard work rise to the top in any profession instead of treating everyone the same.
People, professionals that we rely on…airplane pilots, doctors, dentist, lab professionals, plumbers, electricians, architects, construction managers, mechanics, cooks, sanitation professionals, lifeguards, childcare workers, teachers, parents…whatever the field, we want a professional or someone who knows how to do their job well and in an excellent. We don’t want hire or pay someone or rely on someone to do a job we need to be done who doesn’t know what they are doing but who “passed anyway” because the school believed that equity …everyone getting the same result, or mediocrity…everyone passing…is a the way to go.
You don’t want to be that person in that system. For one thing, if you are hired to do a job for which you have no knowledge or talent, you could get yourself in a heap of trouble if the job turns out poorly. People and property could be injured or worse.
Be honest with yourself about your strengths and weaknesses. Don’t go into the wrong field. Believe in Jesus, ask Jesus into your heart, be born again, and ask God for direction in life. Become the best you can be in whatever field you choose. Use your talents well. Don’t be mediocre.

How to Set a Goal Successfully
Goal setting and planning are the two essential factors to get the results you desire. Making up your mind is the primary step when you want to achieve something. You may work hard throughout the day, but if you do not have the focus, that end goal, all your hard work goes to waste. Even though you can find many resources over the Internet on how to set a goal, but it is personal experience that teaches you better than any books or resources. However, here are some general tips on how to set a goal that will help you to some extent.
First, you have to be an optimistic person to achieve your goal. You have to hope for the positive and keep faith in youself. If you have any doubts, write them down in a piece of paper and try to come to a solution. If you cannot find the solution yourself, then take help of close ones or those who have expertise in the niche.
Second, you have to visualize your wanting. Visualizations can instill confidence in youself and only then you will have the “Go and Get it” attitude. Visualizations bring you closer to your wanting. You also need to visualize your steps in order to get the desired results. Analyze the risks involved in the tasks as well as the benefits involved. You must know the ratio between the benefit and risk.
Third, jot down your goals on a piece of paper. You must write both your short-term goals as well as long-term goals. For example, if you want to complete a certain task tomorrow, write that down and write the goal you have set after a year. Write everything in a proper table format. A haphazard writing will make you more confused in your daily life and you will end up diverted from your goal. Therefore, write down everything neatly so that anyone can understand by just looking at it.
Finally, take action. Only if you set the goal without taking any action, it leads nowhere. Hence, take the actions that will make you reach closer towards your goal. Think positively and take positive steps. However, before taking any step, analyze the situation once again as to whether that step is appropriate or not.
To top it all, enjoy the work you do while reaching towards your goal. That way you will not feel the pressure and even reach your goal happily.

Set a Goal to Get the Desired Results
Many people want to achieve success without putting in any effort. They may appear to succeed for a short time, but on the long run, they are bound to fail. One can only achieve success by sheer hard work.
Setting a goal in life is essential for a person who wants to be successful in life. To be successful in life, first you have to set your priorities straight. You need to know exactly what tasks are more important in view of your goals. After you set your priorities, chalk out a time table where you can write down the daily goals you need to accomplish. This will make you more systematic in achieving those.
Next, focus on each task as it is in front of you. Generally, you lose focus on a task if you work on it for long hours. It is not your fault, it is a habit of human beings or we can say that it is a state of human brain. Therefore, it is advisable to take short breaks in between the tasks to keep your brain focused on the task. Do not keep tasks pending, as when they pile up, you tend to divert from the goal. You can get overwhelmed and end up doing nothing. Prioritize tasks and do them.
Take action. This is a very important factor to get the desired results or achieve success in life. If you fear to take any risks or actions, then you may divert from the goal that you set. To achieve success, you have to undertake certain risks at times. If you undertake the risk and do not succeed, do not do what some people do…they lose all hope and move into a depression state. However, you must always have the faith in yourself to do better next time. In addition, when undertaking a risk, keep a second back up plan if you do not succeed.
Thus, reaching your goal is all about planning and action. It is easy to get the desired results if you have a proper plan to execute. Set your eyes and heart for something to get it. The craving from the heart helps you know what direction to go…as long as it is a good and healthy and righteous desire. Therefore, it is imperative to listen to your inner voice as you seek to achieve the desired results.

Success and Self Improvement
Everything happens for a reason. And occasionally, one thing leads to some other. Rather than locking yourself up in fear and weeping over past grief, embarrassment and failures, treat them as your instructors and they’ll become your tools in both self improvement and success.
So, when does self improvement get synonymous with success? Where do we begin? Take these hints.
Quit believing and feeling as though you’re a failure, as you’re not. How may other people accept you if you can’t live with you?
Whenever you watch hunks and models on television, think about self improvement, not self pity. Self acceptance isn’t merely about having nice slim legs, or dandy abs. Center on inner beauty.
Whenever individuals feel down about themselves, help them rise up. Don’t crash with them. They’ll pull you down farther and both of you will wind up feeling substandard.
The Earth is a big room for examples, not errors. Don’t feel unintelligent and condemned forever just because you bombed on a science quiz. There’s always a following time. Make room for self improvement.
Take matters one at a time. Self improvement is a one day at a time procedure.
Self improvement is about inner constancy, personality maturation and success. It comes from self-assurance, self appreciation and self-regard.
Set meaningful and accomplishable goals. Self improvement aims to result in an improved and better you.
Occasionally, we don’t recognize that the small things that we do like a pat on the back, stating “hi” , or saying something like “hey, I love your tie!” are easy things that mean so a great deal to others. While we’re being appreciative about beautiful things around us and others, we likewise become beautiful to them.
Once you’re willing to take on change and go through the procedure of self improvement, it doesn’t mean that everybody else is. The Earth is a place where individuals of different values and position live.
We ought to forever remember that there’s no such affair as ‘over night success’. We’re all here to learn our lessons. Our parents, school teachers, acquaintances, co-workers, neighbors… they’re our instructors. When we open our minds for self improvement, we step-up our chances to head to success.
