Pada aku, WAJIB untuk ada matlamat dalam hidup. Tak semestinya kita set matlamat every 1st Jan. Tapi it’s definitely easier to monitor what we have planned by end of the year.
Okeh this is what I have planned:-
1. To save and invest at least 20% of my gross income
2. To allocate for parents and MIL 10% of my gross income
3. To allocate for charity 5% of my gross income
4. To read two pages of Al-Quran DAILY
5. To develop my son Akmal Faris to the best of his abilities as a Standard One student
6. To expose the twins – Aimie & Aisyah to the world of structured learning.
7. To improve myself spiritually.
8. To enjoy life while doing the above!
The following is by Jim Rohn in helping us to understand the concept of Goals:-
S.M.A.R.T. Goals. S.M.A.R.T. means Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, and Time-sensitive.
I really like this acronym S.M.A.R.T., because we want to be smart when we set our goals. We want to intelligently decide what our goals will be so that we can actually accomplish them. We want to set the goals that our heart conceives, our minds believe and that our bodies will carry out. Let’s take a closer look at each of the components of S.M.A.R.T. goals:
Specific: Goals are no place to waffle. They are no place to be vague. Ambiguous goals produce ambiguous results. Incomplete goals produce incomplete futures.
Measurable: Always set goals that are measurable. I would say “specifically measurable” to take into account our principle of being specific as well.
Attainable: One of the detrimental things that many people do – and they do it with good intentions – is to set goals that are so high they are unattainable.
Realistic: The root word of realistic is “real.” A goal has to be something that we can reasonably make “real” or a “reality” in our lives. There are some goals that simply are not realistic. You have to be able to say, even if it is a tremendously stretching goal, that yes, indeed, it is entirely realistic — that you could make it. You may even have to say that it will take x, y, and z to do it, but if those happen, then it can be done. This is in no way to say it shouldn’t be a big goal, but it must be realistic.
Time: Every goal should have a time frame attached to it. I think that life itself is much more productive if there is a time frame connected to it. Could you imagine how much procrastination there would be on earth if people never died? We would never get “around to it.” We could always put it off. One of the powerful aspects of a great goal is that it has an end, a time in which you are shooting to accomplish it. You start working on it because you know there is an end. As time goes by you work on it because you don’t want to get behind. As it approaches, you work diligently because you want to meet the deadline. You may even have to break down a big goal into different parts of measurement and time frames. That is okay. Set smaller goals and work them out in their own time. A S.M.A.R.T. goal has a timeline.
Ok peeps! I strongly encourage you guys to list down and PUBLISH your goals. If not to all strangers then to the people closest to you. Bukan apa. At least ada semangat sikit untuk kotakan apa yang kita katakan. Gud luck!

selamat tahun baru.. celen, jgn tak celen. sbb tu some ppl use ‘ambitious’ instead of ‘attainable’ for the A in SMART tuh.. (tho i personally prefer ‘attainable’ heheh) anyway, all the best.
