Determine the Position and Aims

It is meaningless only to think my long further aims idly.
It is important to set my aims but at the same time I should confirm my present condition.
Unless I set the standard where I am in any level, I'll be puzzled about what I should do from now on.

So How do I recognize my present position?
I suppose that I should write down everything to the notebook as far as I can come up with it.
