Why is setting goals important? Because goals can help you do and experience everything you want in life. Instead of just letting life happen to you, goals allow yourself to make your life happen.
Successful people in life imagine how their life should be and set lots of goals. It's like having a sign to show you where you want to go. Think of it in this way. There are two drivers. One has a place to go to clearly in mind which can be found on a map. He can drive straight there surely without any wasted time. The other driver has no goal or a map. But he drives aimlessly (漫无目的地) around, never getting anywhere, just using up gas and oil. Which driver do you want to be?
They decide what they want in life and then get there by making plans and setting goals. Unsuccessful people just let life happen by accident. Goals aren't difficult to set, and they aren't difficult to reach. You are the ones who must achieve them.
Research tells us that when we write a goal down we are more possible to achieve it. They are harder to forget. Also when you write your goals in a particular way, you are able to make yourself realize situations that will bring you nearer to your goals.
