M: Good morning. Today we’ll talk about goal-setting and we have a special guest here, Kate Warwick. Welcome to our program, Mrs. Warwick.
W: Thank you.
M: So Mrs. Warwick, can you tell us about your work in goal-setting?
W: OK. When it comes to goal-setting, I’m really focused. For example, if I want to lose weight, I will get a group of friends around me and tell them I want to lose weight and increase my health. Then I’ll take actions to achieve this goal by refraining from eating poor foods, etc.
M: Well, why do you gather some close friends together?
W: (5) It is important for me because I need support. I know T can’t do it on my own. Also it helps because I am able to share my problems with them. And by telling other people, "I really want to do this and I seek your help," they can keep you honest I suppose.
M: So setting goals helps people achieve something. But is there anything negative about goal-setting?
W: Yes. If you set yourself a goal and you’re so focused on it, (6)then you will be close-minded to other things that happen.
M: Why is it that most people do so badly at reaching goals?
W: (7)They lose focus. Everybody’s life is busy. There is so much happening in everybody’s life that what happens is that they might have a goal, and then something will get in the road of that.
M: Once you reach a goal, what’s the next step?
W: (8)One thing that I would strongly encourage is to celebrate success. Once you have made and reached that level, it is a real must to celebrate it. That way you are acknowledging it to yourself, and you’re acknowledging this level of achievement.
