The professional and personal skills development can be used by the children so that they can
easily concentrate towards the development of skills and knowledge so that they can achieve
their set objectives (Huo, Zhang and Law, 2020). There are several skills which must be learned
by the kids so that it will be easy for them to get success in personal and professional area. Some
of them are mentioned below:
 Stop doing such things which resulted in wastage of time: every student who wants to be
successful in their life then it is important for them to take proper decisions with respect

Define short term goals and their values with illustrations.
Short term goals refer to such targets which can be determined by the students at the
earlier age so that they can attain their long-term objectives of life into an effective manner.
There are several loopholes which must be determined by the people with respect to the short
term frame (Josefsson, Green and Normark, 2019). These types of goals helps the students to
determine the next step which can be adopted by them in order to attain their medium and long
term goals as it is used to exam in their progress whether they are functioning in the right
direction or not.
Values of short term goals
 This helps the students in increasing their strategies so that they can achieve their goals as

 The steps of goals help the student in order to take quick feedbacks so that they can
determine that they are working in the right direction or not. The positive and negative
feedbacks are used by the students in order to motivate themselves so that they can
determine their strategies into an effective manner.

 These types of goals are used by the people in order to get focused towards their medium
term goals as well as long term goals which might be seems unrealistic in the present
situation. There are several short term goals which can be used by the students in order to

Define the medium terms goals and their values. State with some illustrations.
The medium term goals are like a link between the short and long-term goals as it helps
the students to fill the gap between these goals (Malow, 2018). These are the schools which are
based upon the short term and long term goals. They can be achieved at a moderate value which
can be used by individuals to determine the progress and evaluate what are the things which are
required to change so that they can attain their ultimate targets.
Importance of medium term objective
 These types of goals are used by the students so that they can analyse the existing
techniques are right or not in order to achieve their ultimate goals.

Long term goals are such objective which can be determined by the students in order to
satisfy their future role of life. These goals are require a higher planning with respect to
management of risk which might be occurred in future (Ramos-García, 2018). These types of
goals cannot be achieved within a week for months to cause it requires years and years in order
to achieving develop their skills so that they can achieve it. Every ultimate poles are required the
short and medium term goals as it helps them to achieve the long term goals.

holes at the earliest stage of maturity as it is required many years of hardworking in order

cannot be achieved in a short period of time.

to satisfy their future needs into an effective manner.
For example: a student can determine the ultimate goal is to start its own business and for
this the child is required to have a capital so that they can invest in the business. For this it is
important for the student to save their money in order to collect the capital amount as with
respect to the medium term goals as he is required to have all such skills which are required in
order to start his own business and to the competitive market.

their habits so that they can achieve their ultimate objectives of life into an effective manner. It is
the type of action plan which must be determined by the individual in order to focus on every

ultimate goals.

 With context to the work these kinds of plants are used by the workers so that they can
begin their day as they used to invest many hours in the workplace so it is important for
them to have a personal development plan which can be used by them in order to satisfy
their job role. These types of plan also used in order to motivate the employees so that
they can utilise their skills and knowledge into an effective manner (Wright and et. al.,
2020).
 The result of such long term goals can be used by the individuals in order to maximize
