LECTURE - 16
MODULE: REMAKING YOURSELF

LECTURE: 16 BEGIN WITH THE END IN MIND Part - A

CLASSROOM
INTRODUCTORY [7 MINS]

Let us start by closing our eyes and imagining our lives in 20 years. Where will we be? In Rajkot?
Ahmedabad? Surat? Mumbai? London? Australia? America?

What will you be doing? Designing new buildings? Saving lives in an operation theatre? Managing large
corporate funds?

Imagine what your house will be like? How big will it be? What car will you have? Will you be married?
How many children will you have?

Now open your eyes, we have all thought about what the future might hold for us. We often use these
daydreams as just ways to pass time or distract ourselves. But what if we used this vision of the future as a
goal to achieve and work to make that dream into a reality?

Today we will be learning about how we can reach success by keeping the end in mind. This lecture will be
a journey from imagination into reality.

LINK [2 MINS]
Throughout the streets of India, we can nd millions of children who dream to be like Sachin Tendulkar,
but how many actually attain international cricket fame? Not many, right? This is the case for most of us
too. We wish for success, but we sometimes lack the clarity and the means to achieve it.

In the beginning of the class, we took a moment to look towards our future, and so we vaguely know where
we want to go. But what is our rst step to reach that end? Are the things we are doing right now enough
to take us to our goal? That’s what we will be exploring today. We will learn about how to set our end goal
as well as how we can begin our journey to achieve it.

INTERACTION

SUMMARY Part - A [10 MINS]

Ask the students to explain the main points from the lecture. As they give their answers, note down a
summary of what they say on the board.
ACTIVITY [25 MINS]

INTERACTION
Discussion: group the class into small discussion groups, and discuss the following questions: Why do we
need clarity of our goals from now? Why do we need to start working towards our long-term goals from
now? (5 Mins)

(The conversations should tend towards the ideas that if we do not have our end goals clear from the
beginning, then how can we know which direction to go in. For example, if you were constructing a
building, and you did not have the blueprints, how would you even begin? So, if we want to successfully
master our end goal, then we have to be clear of our goal and work towards it from now.)

Visualization of Long-Term Goals: Turn to page 05 of the workbook. Have the students complete this
section in their workbooks. Ensure the students are actively thinking about the questions and participating
in the activity. The students should have at least one clear and realistic long-term goal set by the end of this
activity. (15 Mins)

Do not move onto section 2 – ‘short term goals’, as it will be covered in the next part. If there is extra time
then, the students can complete the Wikipedia activity on page 03 of their workbooks.

SUMMARY Part - B [10 MINS]

INTERACTION
Ask the students to explain the main points from the lecture. As they give their answers, note down
a summary of what they say on the board.

WORKBOOK [25 MINS]

Using page 06 of the workbook (2. The Blueprint – Short Term Goals), explain SMART goals with
various examples. Be sure that each step is clearly explained.

Then using the workbook, have the student pick one long-term goal from the previous activity and create
SMART subgoals to reach it.

Using the workbook, page 07 (3. Daily Routines), explain that subgoals must effectively become part of
our daily routine if we want to see a positive change. Have the students write out steps to bring changes in
their daily routine in the workbook.

Optional: If there is extra time then you can explain the ‘ultimate goals’ section and get the students to ll
out this section of the workbook.

CLOSE [2 MINS]

Have students nish any remaining sections in the workbook before the next lecture.
Encourage the students to start applying the SMART goals in their life.

NOTICE: Lecture 20 (named Present Scenario) is a student-based presentation and therefore requires the
students to prepare at least two weeks before. Therefore choose an appropriate time to explain how the
students should prepare. The details of which can be found in the Lecture 20 Teacher's Guide.
