What is your personal goal in life? Do you know goals and do you work towards a goal in your life? (1)You may already have an idea of what you want to do, but you may not write it down. It could take as little as 10 or 20 minutes, and it’s not too hard. It’s time to think about and write down what you want to realize in life and try your best to make it come true.

How to start? (2)     , imagine you are at the        of your life, looking back. What would you like to have realized? What kind of person would you like to have been? Now here’s the key: start living your life so that you will finally get to that point.

As you’ve given that a little thought, you may already have an idea of what you do. Then the second step is to write down the goals you’d like to reach, either in a short time or a long time—daily goals, weekly goals, monthly goals, yearly goals and life goals. They can be different from each other, in different areas. But don’t have too many goals at a time. Don’t have goals that are impossible to come true.

Now it’s the last step. Take action! Work hard to realize your goals. Once you have set up a goal, try hard and never give up, even if there are some difficulties.
