Acceleration to Next

Just before the goal,

people tend to press the brake pedal subconsciously.

Now is the time to set next goal

and press down on the accelerator.

• When you are making research
• When you are writing a paper
• When you are creating something
• When your activity is in the final stage
• When you are at a dead end

It not seldom happens that people slack off their efforts subconsciously just before the goal.

• Just before achieving the goal, people tend to lose their motivation, unconsciously.
• End work just before achieving the goal is tough.
• We can work hard in active, just in the process of pursuing our goal.

Set next goal and pass through the current goal without slow down.

• Think of the meaning of your activity, and imagine what you should do after achieving its goal.
• Set the next goal on the extension of your activity temporarily, and consider the immediate goal as a passing point. With an image of bigger goal, you can avoid losing the end work.

Even if you work on your activity with the mind of Passion for Research (6) and Firm Determination (38), it seems tough to achieve the project before its goal. if you are in the situation like this, it is important to put Acceleration to Next. Work on your activity with Bird's eye, Bug's eye (23) for taking the immediate goal as a part of next big goal. With "Bird's eye" for looking down a whole of your project, think of what you can do now, and take next goals. In this way, if you keep on progressing while you take your goals as passing points, you will be Be Extreme! (39).
