Motivational monday: It takes a person who is wide-awake to make his dream come true. Roger Ward Babson
Set goals with deadlines, without which your dreams will be like a
broken bone that cannot fly. Intense goal orientation is the characteristics of
successful people, they have a goal and they know how to get there. This
is because they set goals in every area of their life. Your ability to set
goals and make plans for your accomplishment is the skill required to succeed.
Goal setting is a formal process for personal planning. By setting goals on a
routine basis you decide what you want to achieve, and then move step-by-step
towards the achievement of these goals. The process of setting goals and
targets allows you to choose where you want to go in life. By knowing precisely
what you want to achieve, you know what you have to concentrate on to do it. You
also know what merely a distraction is.

Duchess of Sussex unveils fashion line for 'unemployed women'
According to Theguardian, Her return from maternity leave coincides with the beginning of London fashion week, but after the furor that surrounded her trip on Elton John’s private jet, the Duchess of Sussex was not about to make the mistake of facing photographers from the glitz of a catwalk front row.
Instead, she entered John Lewis on Oxford Street in London via the back door, smart but low-key in a £120 pair of black trousers and an £85 white shirt with rolled-up sleeves, to launch the Smart Set, a collection of interview-appropriate clothing for unemployed women trying to enter the workplace.
The duchess is a patron of Smart Works, a charity that provides interview coaching and appropriate outfits for women in need. The Smart Set collection, comprising a trouser suit, white shirt, dress, and a leather bag, goes beyond awareness-raising with an ambitious plan to improve the quantity and quality of clothing stock at the charity. For each piece sold on the shop floor, one will be donated to Smart Works.
