     Why is it so important to set career goals? Well, setting career goals is important, so that, you know the destination where you wish to reach. Setting career goals is different for every individual. Some want to become astronauts, some engineers, some basketball champions and some want to be actors. All of us have some goals and aspirations. During our school and college life, we are equipped with knowledge, so that, we can have the necessary skills to compete in this world. Setting career goals, first of all, gives us a clear picture of the path that we have to take. This increases our self esteem, confidence and mobilizes our energy on one single aim. As Earl Nightingale, an American motivational speaker says, “The more intensely we feel about an idea or a goal, the more assuredly the idea, buried deep in our subconscious, will direct us along the path to its fulfillment.”

     Know What You Want!

     Essay Thesis Statement

     A mistake that most students commit is that they write the thesis statement after they have written the essay. This has to be avoided because the essay should be based on the argument stated in the thesis statement. Once you choose the subject or topic you want to write upon, do the research that is needed to write the essay. Once you have done this, think about the argument that you want to support and whether you can provide appropriate evidence to prove your point. After you have decided this, you can move on to create a thesis statement. Let us look at the important points that have to be kept in mind while writing a thesis statement along with some examples of thesis statements. Read more on thesis statement definition.

     The thesis statement should talk about the main idea that you are going to present in your essay. The most important factor about writing a thesis statement is that it should be specific. One common mistake that many people do while writing a thesis statement is make a general statement about what they are going to write in the essay. For instance, if you are writing about capital punishment, your thesis statement should not be something like-

     Capital punishment is not the appropriate way of punishing a person for a crime he has done.

     This is an example of a weak thesis statement because it is too broad as well as vague. The reader may understand the stance you have taken, but not the reason behind it. Hence, it is important that you produce the reason behind the statement. To make the thesis statement more specific, you can ask yourself why you think it is bad, which will generate an answer that will help in making your thesis statement more specific. For instance,Humans do not have the right to take away the life of other humans, hence capital punishment is not the correct way of punishing a criminal.
