On Achieving Career Goals

by Fred Nwaozor Achieving career goals is a deliberate and continuous process that requires clarity, discipline, and persistence. It begins with a clear understanding of what one truly wants to accomplish in a chosen field. Without a defined direction, efforts become scattered, making it difficult to measure progress or attain meaningful success. Therefore, setting specific and realistic career goals is the first critical step. Self-assessment plays a vital role in this journey. Individuals must evaluate their strengths, weaknesses, interests, and values. By doing so, they gain insight into areas where they can excel and identify skills that need improvement. This awareness helps in aligning personal abilities with career aspirations, ensuring a more purposeful pursuit. Education and skill acquisition are fundamental to achieving career goals.

SHOCKER: German Nurse Admits Killing 100 Patients


 
A former nurse admitted on Tuesday, 30th October 2018 to have killed 100 patients in Germany, closing the case of the country's biggest, post-war serial killing spree.

On his first day of trial, Niels Hoegel, 41, admitted to killing 100 patients between 2000 and 2005 in northern Germany by injecting them with lethal drugs and trying to resuscitate them; an attempt that often failed.

When asked by the presiding judge, Sebastian Buehrmann if the allegations levelled against him were largely true, Mr. Hoegel simply replied "yes".

Mr. Hoegel is believed to be responsible for the death of more than 130 patients, but the cremation of more possible victims makes determining the exact number of victims nearly impossible as gathered by Rostrum's health correspondent. 

It would be recalled that Mr. Hoegel was first caught by a co-worker in 2005 when he was administering lethal drugs to a patient; a crime he received a sentence of seven years in prison in 2008.

In 2015, he was sentenced to life in prison after being convicted on two additional murder and attempted murder charges.

It's noteworthy that Mr. Hoegel’s trial is expected to end in May next year being 2019.
