GOALS
By Anton Antonio
December 31, 2015
2015 is about to be history and 2016 is about to present new
opportunities and challenges. To most
people, this is the ideal time to assess and look at the past and set new
objectives and/or re-calibrate goals.
But what exactly are goals?
Goals are desired results that a person, organization or a
system of visions, plans, commitments and implementation plans to achieve
either a personal or organizational desired end-point. Many people strive to reach high ideals and
goals within a finite period of time by setting timelines or deadlines. A goal is roughly a purpose, objective or aim
which is the anticipated result or outcome which guides action and
reaction. Like an end, a goal can be an
object, either a physical object or an abstract object that has intrinsic
value. Goals are achieved by a series of
methodically planned and precise actions.
In a fairly different but related sense, Filipinos, having a
passion for the sport of basketball, often relate goals to basketball hoops. Let’s push this mindset to the limit with a
little trivial event. Please imagine
22,000 basketball fans packed in the MOA Arena to watch a ballgame between
Barangay Ginebra San Miguel and Purefoods Star Hotshots… arguably two of the
most popular basketball clubs in the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA). After the final buzzer blares to signal the
end of the game, not a single point was scored and there was no winner. Why?... because there were no goals.
2016 is just around the corner… what are your goals?
Thoughts to
promote positive action…
