【推荐3】Life is like a journey. We should know where we want to go. Yet many young people travel on life’s journey with no sense of direction at all.

Setting personal goals can give your life a sense of direction. Before you set personal goals, think about what you want to achieve with your life. Try to set goals in some of the following ways:

Education—Will you achieve the educational goals after finishing high school? Are you still growing and learning?

Family—What kind of relationship do you want with your family members?

Creativity—Do you want to achieve any artistic goals?

Jobs—What do you want to do when you grow up? What do you need to make your dream come true?

Health—Are you healthy enough to do the things you want to do?

Pleasure—How do you want to enjoy yourself?

To help achieve your goals, divide your goals into smaller tasks. For example, if you want to reach a main goal in five years, set a three-year goal, a one-year goal, a three-month goal and a one-month goal. Then create a daily To-Do List of things that you should do today. When a goal is achieved, take the time to enjoy your success. This helps you build the self-confidence.

Remember, your goals can change as time goes on. But be sure your goals are things you hope to achieve, not what your family members or teachers want.

1. Why do we set goals according to the passage?

A．To finish high school easily.	B．To make the world a better place.
