Why is setting goals important? Because goals can help you do, be, and experience everything you want in life. Instead of just letting life happen to you, goals allow you to make your life happen.
Successful people how their life should be and set lots of goals. By setting goals you are taking control of your life. It’s like having a to show you where you want to go. Think of it this way. There are drivers. One has a destination(目的地)in mind (her goal) which can be found on a map. She can drive straight there without any wasted time or wrong turns. The other driver has no goals or destination or map. She starts off at the same time from the same place as the first driver, she drives aimlessly around, never getting anywhere, just using up gas (汽油). Which driver do you want to be?
Winners in life set goals and follow through on them. They decide what they want in life and then get there by making and setting goals. people just let life happen by accident. Goals aren’t difficult to set—and they aren’t difficult to reach. It’s up to you to find out what your goals really are. You are the one who must what to achieve and in what direction to aim your life.
Research tells us that when we write a goal down, we are more to achieve it. Written goals can be regularly, and have more power. Like a contract(契约) with yourself, they are harder to forget. Also you write your goals in a particular way, you are able to make yourself continuously aware of situations that will bring you nearer to your goal.

That day was like any other day in his life. After school Michael walked past the shop in the street corner. He stopped to some shoes, and he felt sorry for himself. He wanted to have a pair of shoes for his birthday. He walked away sadly and thought of what to tell his mother. He knew she would give him if she could. But he also knew very well she had money. He decided not to go home , as he looked worried and his mother would notice it. So he went to the park and sat down on the grass. Then he saw a boy in a wheel chair. He noticed that the boy moved the wheels with his hands. Michael looked at him carefully and was to see that the boy had no feet. He looked at his own feet. “It is better to be without shoes than feet.” he thought. There was no reason for him to so sorry and sad. He went away and smiled, thinking he was more lucky in his life.
