Why is setting goals important? Because goals can help you do and experience everything you want in life.
Successful people in life think how their life should be and set lots of goals. By setting goals, you are taking control（控制）of your life. 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 destination（目的地）in mind, and he can find it on a map. He can drive there easily. The other driver has no goal or map. He starts off at the same time from the same place. But he drives around, never getting anywhere, just using up（用尽）fuels. Which driver do you want to be?
Successful people set goals and follow them. They decide what they want in life and then get it by setting goals and making plans. Unsuccessful people don’t think goals are important. They just let things happen by accident（偶然地）. Goals aren’t difficult to set, and they aren’t difficult to reach. You should find out what your goals really are.
According to a study, when we write a goal down, it’s possible for us to get to it. We may read the written goals at any time. ▲ Also when you write your goals in your own way, you are able to make yourself get closer to your goal by working hard.
