Let us get started with an example: AmnU EH$m CXmhaUmZo gwdmV H$`m. {H$eZ `mXd EH$
KishanYadav is a farmer who has been

Lesson 1: Goal Setting nmR> 1 :- c` goQ> H$aUo.
A goal is a statement of what an individual
or a family wants to achieve. Through EImXr `Vr qH$dm H$m` gm` H$ BpN>V
goals, each person identifies his/ her Amho. `m~m~VM {dYmZ hUOo `o` qH$dm c`. `mM
aspirations for the future. There is no such
thing as final goal, they keep changing with
`o`mmao `oH$ `Vr ^{d`mgmR>r `m`m /{V`m
circumstances and time, and they must be AmH$mjm AmoiIy eH$Vo. hoM A{V_ `o` Amho Ag
re-evaluated and updated regularly. H$mhr Zmhr, `o` hr n[apWVr Am{U doioZwgma ~XcV

The process of setting goals helps you c` qH$dm `o` goQ> H$a`mMr {H$`m
choose where you want to go in life. When
you write down your goals, you are more Amn`mcm OrdZmV Zo_H$ H$m` H$am`M Amho ho
likely to achieve them. By knowing what {ZdS>`mg _XV H$aVo. Oa AmnU Amnco `o` {chZ
you want to achieve, you know where you
have to concentrate your efforts. Its helpful

what they want to do but have trouble

Measurable: A goal and its outcomes _moO`m`mo` :- EH$ `o` Am{U `mMo n[aUm_

you also have to make
sure that you are able to
save some money so
that you are able to
prepare for unexpected
expenses in the
business. As your
business grows, you
would have to hire an
accountant who can help
you prepare your
Records, called Financial
Statements and file your
Taxes.

Introduction

Krishna is a farmer who wanted to some


products such as manure and pesticides
to improve the quality of the crops he
wanted to grow. He visited the local
agricultural supplies shop and started
looking at all the products available. He
then started looking at the back of each
pack and was placing it back on the
shelf. He repeated the same behaviour
for sometime now. Noticing Krishnas
actions the shop owner asked Krishna if
he could help him. Krishna wasn't sure
what to ask the shop owner. Then the
Shop Owner asked Krishna what exactly
he wanted so that he can help him find
the product. Krishna then told him that
he was looking to buy manure and
pesticides but he did not have enough
money to purchase them.
In the above scenario, What made the
shop owner offer assistance without
Krishna having to ask for help? It is
Krishnas actions (also referred as body
language or nonverbal cues) that made
the shop owner feel that something
wasn't normal and offered help.
Eye contact, expressions, and gestures: S>mo`mMm gnH$, ^md Am{U hmd^md : m
these body language signs are very
important in communication. While you Xoh~mocr gdmXm_`o EH$ A{Ve` _hdmMr ~m~ Amho. ho
may feel, words are most effective way Vw_Mo gdmXm_`o Iyn _hdnyU Amho. m {Mhmcm

received by others. Say a farmer tells
you that he produced great yield last
season but does not look in your eyes
while saying it and keeps his arms
crossed in a stiff manner. Would you
believe his words?
If your body language is not in sync with
what you are saying then your nonverbal
message will likely override or at least
give different meaning to the spoken
message. For this reason, it is important
to be aware of body language you use
when communicating with others.
Awareness of these signs will help you
understand the people with whom you
communicate as well. Following are
some aspects of body language to
consider.
Lesson 1: Physical Movements nmR> 1 :- emar[aH$ hmcMmc
