Chapter 1: My Long-term and Short-term goals

In this chapter, we were introduced to the first strategy, which is "Never lose sight of the ultimate goal, and foucus energy on short-term objectives (27)." The most thing I was surprised about this chapter was that Shackleton changed his long-term goal, to cross the Antarcitica, into go home with all members. Because of the severe situation, maybe he "had to" change his long-term vision. However, I would like to say that this decision was remakable considering his many years of efforts.

Today I would like to talk about my long-term and short-term goals as a member of this LILTDY class. (At the moment, I belong to three organizations. ICU Yearbook Committee, Campus Sustainable Committee, and this clas.)

My long-term goal for this course is to do my best.
I have four short-term goals for this. Litsten to other leaders carefully. Overcome my personality(shy) by speaking out in class and taking an active role in discussions. Finish blogging before due. Do some research something related to leadership class.

・Listen to other leaders carefully.
By doing this I will know more about each person. Thogh I am shy, I like to talk with friends and I always wish to know more about them. Also, by listening to other members' opinion carefully, I will be introduced to new ideas and ways of thinking because each member has various background.

・Overcome my personality(shy) by speaking out in class and taking an active role in discussions.
Since I am originally shy, it is sometimes difficult for me to speak in front of people. However, by achieving this short-term goal, I will be able to play a role as one of the leaders.

・Finish blogging and commenting on the blogs before due.
I have got behind in wrting a blog. Sorry! I will try to finish writing two blogs each week. But I love reading blogs.

・Do some research something related to leadership class.
One of the objective of this course is to write RW. If I get more information by my own research, I will not only have many sources for the paper but also understand much more about leadership.

My post is getting long... I think I'll stop here for today :)
