Question

【题目】Why is setting goals important? Because goals can help you do and experience everything you want in life. Instead of just letting life happen to you, goals allow you to make your life happen.

【1】 It’s like having a map to show you where you want to go. Think of it in this way. There are two drivers.One has a place to go to in mind clearly which can be found on a map. He can drive straight there surely without wasting any time. The other driver has no goal, or a map.

【2】 But he drives aimlessly(无目的地）around, never getting to anywhere, just using up oil. Which driver do you want to be?

【3】 They decide what they want in life and then get that by setting goals and making plans. Unsuccessful people just let life happen by accident. Goals aren’t difficult to set, and they aren’t difficult to reach. 【4】 You are the one who must decide what to achieve and in what direction to aim your life.

Research tells us that when we write a goal down, we are more likely to achieve it. 【5】

They are difficult to forget. Also when you write your goals in your own way, you are able to make yourself realize the situations that will bring you nearer to your goals.

A.You’d better set a goal once a time.
