Goal setting is very important because goals give you clarity and focus； goals help you assess the good and bad； goals help you beat procrastination. So， we should set a goal， try to beat it， then when we achieve it， we will set a new， faster goal. That’s what runners do； what athletes do. They try to get better every day. They set a goal and they don’t stop until they achieve that goal. Goal setting is simple. First say to yourself what you would be； and then do what you have to do. If we hope to accomplish our goals， we need the discipline（自制力）. We need the self-control to stay focused only on the things within our control. And we need the endurance（耐力） to go through difficulty. So， how to actually achieve your goals？ Here are some ideas for you. 1.Be realistic. 2.Be specific. 3.Take it small step by small step. 4.Trust the process. 5.Use physical reminders. 6.Be adaptable. 7.Associate with people who bring out your best. 8.Make it happen， whatever it takes. The guide we create above is to help you set and achieve your goals. “With a goal in mind， we see obstacles as an opportunity to train ourselves for life， just like an athlete trains for a race，” said Professor Christopher Kluz from Chinese University of Hong Kong.
