Be smart in your pursuit for greatness

By Milton Kamwendo
Edited by Mr Nyandolo

Goals are seeds of greatness. Faith feeds on specific stimulating goals. Wherever goals and log frames are talked about there is always a mention of “SMART” goal setting.
The goals must be specific, measurable, achievable, realistic and time-bound. Summon all the help you can get to move towards your goals. Challenge your limits. Do not park where fate left you. You need to be smart.
To be great in your chosen arena, set SMART goals. These are: Stimulating, Meaningful, Activating, Responsible and Tenacious goals. Goals are a journey that requires you to be tenacious. Do not give up nor fear. Keep focus and never lose sight of your end game.
STIMULATING
It is not enough to just express wishes and clever intentions. Go beyond that. Crystallize your goals for them to have a meaning. It is not enough to set some New Year or birthday resolutions. Those are important and necessary but not sufficient. Crystallize your goals and reduce them to paper. Unless your goals are written down, they technically do not exist. It is not enough to just have a sense of where you “kind – of – sort – of – want – to – go”.
A goal is a dream that is owned, crystallized and has a deadline. The test of quality for any goal is its stimulating power. If the goal gets you into action and makes you uncomfortable, then that is a worthy goal. If your goals do not inspire you, set new ones. Merely having a laundry list of intentions that are not crystallized and have no launching power is a time waster.
Greatness does not come through mere wishing. Dreams without a personal meaning are mere flying birds of fantasy. You have to put your goal into focus and then pursue it until it is begging for mercy.
Meaningful
Your goals must have meaning to you. You have a life to live and you are passing this way once, let your goals be meaningful to your life, contexts and world view.
To be continued….

Concert of Europe: Advanced level history

Edited by Mr Nyandolo Questions and Answers: Concert of Europe 1. "Its merits outweighed its defects." Discuss this verdict upon the Treaty of Vienna. The principal defects of the Treaty of Vienna wee four.  First it ignored national feeling for unity in Germany and Italy, and other peoples under the rule of States which they opposed.  Secondly it operated to discourage constitutional government in Europe.  Thirdly, it was a settlement characterised by a cynical disregard for the interest of the small States by the Great Powers who dominated the Congress.  Lastly, the settlement produced at Vienna failed to survive- a measure of its failure to solve the problems of Europe. By the treaty Germany remained, like Italy, "a geographical expression".  It consisted of thirty-nine separate States; and although these were organised in the Germanic Confederation; it posed no unifying power being dominated by Austria and Prussia, whose interests were to prevent a uni

The Other Syllabus I had the lab science the ecology  of texts   and language  of the pages I like it all as my joy spilled with the test tube disasters and the teachers harmless roar like a trapped mouse than .I left the lab , vomited from the lab syllabus The streets ,they had me also A scuffle followed :the other  syllabus Bosses frowned at my heat lab qualification only to declare them rabble Then l pocketed them now a wounded lion l crawled through streets Streets that yawn in my face like starved ghosts turned bitter than a sick rat l gnawed at the remains of this civilisation that rots My comfort then lay in the rat-hole where husband ,wife ,child , pot ,fire , Mealie-meal share the same met and only mother’s empty nipple soothes  the starved gums of children who lie like discarded biltong in this raid of slain dreams BY CHENJERAI HOVE PUBLISHED  BY SAM NYAMUZIWA
