When an eyewitness of an event tells us a story, we must consider it as credible. However, we must check it by consulting other sources.

<h3>What is a story?</h3>

A story is a type of narration whose main characteristic is the representation of events through language. The stories are testimonies that contribute to the preservation of memory about an event or even create memories. Another outstanding aspect of the stories is that it is influenced by the context and interpretation of the speaker.

According to the above, an eyewitness of an event may have a version of an event. However, to ensure the veracity of his account, it is necessary to consult sources related to the event such as

  • Other stories
  • Research
  • Documents

Lola wants to own a small restaurant. In order to achieve this goal, which action should she perform first?
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

First thing to do:  Break up the long-term goal into short-term goals.

According to Katie Shives, writing for <em>Inside HigherEd, </em>the best way to achieve goals "is working backwards once your goal is identified."  To do that, you first ask yourself what are the major components of the goal, and what sub-projects need to be completed in working toward the major project goal.  Shives says, "This is very much a project management approach to setting goals and can help by allowing you to break big projects into minor components, accurately estimate the time to completion, set multiple realistic milestones, and to adjust timelines as you move forward."

So with that advice in mind, the list you've given here would go in the following order:

  1. Break up the long-term goal into short-term goals.
  2. Sequence all the tasks (to achieve those short-term goals).
  3. Write down a realistic period to accomplish the goal.  (You can't estimate that until you've identified the short-term goals and associated tasks.)
  4. Break up the goal into daily tasks -- setting yourself a schedule to take your project from an idea to a completed reality.
