One of the golden rules of goal-setting is setting SMART goals. SMART stands for specific, measurable, attainable, relevant and time bound. <u>"Attainable" means setting goals that can actually be achieved, that is to say setting goals that are realistic</u>.<u> If a person sets a goal that is too difficult to achieve</u>, <u>he/she may never achieve it and; therefore, he/she will lose his/her confidence</u>. In that way, it is necessary to set a goal that is attainable and, at the same time, to have the sufficient resources to achieve it.
