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 likely to achieve it. Written goals can be reviewed regularly, and have power. Like a contract（契约） with , they are harder to forget. Also you write your goals in a sepecial way, you are able to make yourself continuously aware of situations that will bring you nearer to your goal.

The lady with the white fence（篱笆）taught me to leave the gale to life open.. .
My husband died in an accident and I became very angry. I hated being alone. One day, as I was 43 down a busy street, I suddenly noticed a new fence around a house. I pulled off to really watch it. It was such a good 44 that I was deeply touched. I could not send 45 away. The fence still smelled of fresh paint.
“Hello!" I came up and said to a lady in the back garden, “I came to see the fence. It's so beautiful!"
“Oh! The fence is not there for me," the lady explained to me in a calm voice, “I live alone. _ 46_
so many people pass by every day, and I think they may be pleased to see something really attractive. 47 stop like you and come up to have a chat. "
"But weren't you sad when they expanded (拓宽) the road and everything changed so much?"
"Change is part of life 
and takes part in 48 us who we are. When something we do not
like happens to us, we have two choices—to become a 49 person or to become a better person."
Her reply changed my life. I carefully left the gate open and drove on 50 a new feeling inside me. I could not tell51 it was, but I could feel the thick stone wall around my angry heart breaking off. And52 a pretty white fence was built. I decided that I would keep the gate open for everything and everyone that came my way.
