A person with a goal will know his mission and purpose at a particular time, and how he will go about achieving it. It is important and very necessary to have a goal because it takes only a person with a mission to succeed.
It is only people with goal that live their live s on purpose rather by accident.
To succeed in life, you need to have a goal you aim at actualizing. And to actualize your goals, you also need to be focus and give no room for distractions.
Do you do things without knowing the reason or purpose for doing it? If yes, then you have no goals. A person without a goal not knowing what long-term direction they are headed for, they bounce around like a ball in a pinball machine. If a man knows not what harbor he seeks, any wind is the right wind.
If you set a goal for yourself and are able to achieve it, you have won your race. Your goal can be to come first, to complete an assignment, to improve your performance, to read a particular chapter of your textbook or anything - it's up to you. Just have a goal you are aiming at. The tragedy of life doesn't lies in not reaching your goal. The tragedy lies in having no goal to reach. Therefore, have a goal and aim at reaching it!
