        　　Goal Setting Is Important
        　　“Living without an aim is like sailing without a compass.” This
philosophical wisdom by John Ruskin, one of the greatest British writers, tells
us that goal setting is extremely important in life.
        　　Why is goal setting so important? The main importance of goal setting is
that it provides us with direction and purpose. When we have goals, we know what
we want to achieve so that we can focus our mindson a single worthwhile target
and avoid getting distracted easily. Personal goal setting also provides us with
motivation to achieve what we want to achieve.
        　　Goal setting is of especial significance for today’s students. A study
reveals that when students set goals, they learn the importance of taking
responsibility, of minimizing excuses and of helping others. Goal setting is a
lifelong skill that first helps students succeed in school and then later in
life.
