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 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.

Because I can’t use my arms or legs ,normal things like answering the phone,opening and shutting doors or carrying things have always been difficult for me. Then one day last year, a friend of said that she would like to help me out. She said she would talk to “Animal Helpers” to see if it would be possible for me a specially trained dog. She also thought a dog might I told her that I love animals and that I’d love to have a dog.
After six months of training with a dog at “Animal Helpers”, I was able to him home. My dog’s name is “Lucky”-a good name for him because I feel very lucky to have him. You see, I’m only able to have a “dog-helper” your kind donation!
does Lucky help me, you might ask? Well, he to understand different instructions. For example, I say,”Lucky! Fetch my book,”and he does it at once. He is very clever and understands many English words, some difficult ones like “downstairs”.
Lucky is an amazing dog. I’ll send you a photo of if you like, and I could show you how he helps me too one day. And so I thank you again for “Animal Helpers”.

When I was nine years old, I used to go to the post office with my mother, sending greeting cards to my aunt in Singapore. To me, these trips were really 16 memories. And receiving mail through a mailbox outside our gate was just as exciting. My small hands could 17 get the mail without using a key! I always couldn’t wait to see how much I was 18 . Oh, a letter! From Singapore! I would run back home and show it to my 19 . When there was a letter for me, I wouldn’t run—I would open it right there.
After my family moved back to Singapore, I 20 going to the post office. Years later, my company sent me to Shanghai, and the post office found me again. Two years ago I celebrated my 21 with five friends on top of the mountain in Longsheng, China. At sunrise we 22 up to a beautiful view from the mountain top. Later in the afternoon, as we were going 23 the mountain and returning from the sunrise viewing place, a 24 shop caught our attention. It only sold noodles, coffee and had a China 25 sign.
We asked the owner if she could really send mail. She happily said yes. It seemed hard to believe, 26 we were at the highest top of the mountain. I picked one postcard out and asked my friends to write 27 a birthday note. We bought a stamp, wrote some notes and gave the shop owner the postcard.
Three weeks later, I arrived home and 28 my mailbox: Hello, postcard! I broke into a big smile.
That birthday postcard attracted me again to the post office and all its delights. I had 29 the post office all these years. Today I 30 send postcards to friends. And every time I am at the post office buying stamps, I cannot help but smile—how one postcard will make its way across the world and brighten up someone’s day.
