~Why we need to set goals??~

Setting effective goals:

*Improve focus and quality of training.
*Make journey more challenging and meaningful.
*Achieving goals increase pride,satisfaction and self-confidence.

~Opponent is oneself!~

-Outcome goal and Action goal-
*Outcome Goals give us a direction to move to.
*Action Goals help us reach that destination.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-Outcome goals motivates:
To continue on short term goals

*One must be willing to accept the goals in order to reach them.
-Giving up wastes everything that one had done.

**The only opponent is oneself.To win,we will have to focus on our own.Bothering about others provides unnecessary messages that generate useless reactions which can cause one to have negative thinking/ways of doing things.To beat our own,we will have to reflect and think of ways to improve.

**If one does not reflect,he will forever be at the stage he last stood at, wasting time and effort.One must set a goal that moltivates to move on and encourage when there is any obstacles/difficulties.

**Do not think that we have a limited amount of talent.That will obstruct us from going further.Doing one's best is not good enough,we must think of our own's ways of doing things(In this case,our shooting techniques).We must reflect to find out our faults,eliminating all obstacles in order to strive! =D
