Meet Jared and Brian, two seventh graders with dreams as big as their hearts. Jared believes in setting goals, while Brian prefers to go with the flow. Over time, a clear difference emerges in their performances. Jared, clear about what he wants to achieve, excels in academics and extracurricular activities. Conversely, Brian, without any set goals, struggles to maintain consistency. What's Jared's secret? It's the SMART goal principle. He sets Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound goals. For example, instead of vaguely wanting to do well in soccer, Jared sets a goal to score at least 3 goals in the season. Seeing Jared’s success, Brian realizes the power of goal setting. His attitude changes, and he decides to set SMART goals too. They both learned an important lesson - setting clear, achievable goals is the first step to success.
