Baby Steps: "Measures Of Merit"

Thought it may be difficult to know what to expect from classes and professors, get in the habit of surpassing each and every goal that you set for yourself. But how should you go about setting goals?

Wesley Clark, the former NATO Supreme Commander who led forces during the conflict in Kosovo speaks often about the concept of ''Measures of Merit.'' NATO then broke up the task at hand in numerous baby steps, each serving as a measure of success.

''Measures of Merit'' is not too different than the notion of "Baby Steps." The concept spoofed in the film What About Bob with Bill Murray and Richard Dreyfuss is a staple of modern psychology. Countless people find success to be far more attainable when they break it up into baby steps. By doing so, the long journey toward an end goal is far easier to manage.
