Do you share your goals with the people closest to you or do you keep them to yourself to keep from letting others down? Recently I had someone close to me who just completed a year of totally changing their morning and evening routine and I was a little disappointed they hadn't shared with me that they were working toward that goal because I wanted to encourage them! They said they didn't share because they didn't want to let others down, so they had me thinking am I missing part of the goal setting equation when I asked students to set goals for algebra class? Should these be shared or private? Is it just a personal preference?
