What is important when setting a goal? Make sure your goal is not limited to a certain time frame.
Make sure your goal is easy to obtain.
Make sure your goal includes a wide range of action points.
Make sure your goal is specific.

Answers

When creating a goal, it is important to be specific in what you want to obtain. The only way to successfully reach a goal is to know what you're reaching for. For example instead of setting the broad goal of "losing weight this summer" be specific, and say "I want to lose 20 pounds by the end of the summer" or better yet, "I want to lose 1-2 pounds eah week this summer through healthy diet and exercise." The more precise you are, the more likely you are to be direct and capable to accomplish your goal. This gives you a specific accomplishment to strive for rather than a broad and unclear statement .

You and I know that a business that loses the confidence of its customers and the good will of the public cannot long continue to be a good risk for the investor. This legislation will serve the investor by ending the conditions that have caused that lack of confidence and good will. It will put the public utility operating industry on a sound basis for the future, both in its public relations and in its internal relations. This legislation will not only in the long run result in providing lower electric and gas rates to the consumer, but it will protect the actual value, the actual earning power of properties now owned by thousands of investors who have little protection under the old laws against what used to be called frenzied finance.
