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.

Life is full of chances and challenges. For students, we don’t study hard，we will fall other students. At first, I didn’t know the word “exam” meant. Later, I knew an exam was a of competition. In competitions, there were always and losers. As I grew up, I got to know competitions well. In one’s life, there must be competitions, so people could . Each time I saw children games, and heard their laughter, I I were that age again. However, I remembered my parents’ words--You must work very hard have a good future. So I up my pen and began to study hard again.
I was still not what competitions really meant. One day, I was an English-speaking competition. When I went to the stage, I saw other students looking at me kindly. I suddenly knew what the competition was. It was not as cruel my teacher and parents told me. In fact, competitions were important and necessary.

My Unexpected Teacher
One cold, rainy evening last October, I was going to interview an old lady in the hospital to gather information for my medical thesis(论文）.
The old lady was lying on bed 4B. I sat down on a chair next to her bed, and in a low voice I introduced myself and asked how she was doing. She _replied that she was getting better. When I told her that I wanted to gather some information from her, she agreed.
After I finished the questionnaire, I prepared to leave so I could get more medical records. Before I could get up, the old lady spoke up in her _voice, “I haven’t seen you before, Doctor. Are you new?”
“Not really, ma’ma. It’s just that I don’t come here every day,” I replied. She started _, asking where I was from and why I was working so late in the evening. I was surprised someone in her condition would want to talk.
“Doctor, do you think I can get back to my normal life?” the old lady asked at one point.
I replied that while I didn’t know much about her case, I could tell her what I had learnt about the recovery of the patients of her kind. However, I was unwilling to go into too much detail _I was only a medical student.
The old lady started talking about herself. She shared her difficulties and sufferings, talked about her husband, who was killed in a car accident, and her struggle to earn money. All I did was to nod my head as a way of showing my sympathy(同情）.
_, I discovered that the old lady had been allowed to go out of the hospital as her condition had improved, though she would still need treatment.
The old lady taught me one of the most important _ a doctor can learn. Sometimes patients do not need expensive treatment. They just need someone with the patience and willingness to lend an ear to them and spend some time to be with them.

I knew we needed to find that shoe, for our mother couldn’t afford new shoes. I had to go back to find it, so I told my sister to wait right .
A man heard it and stopped me just I walked off. He asked me, “You are leaving your sister here to find the shoe? What would you do if she is not here when you return?” I didn’t know how to answer that question. He
, “It’s OK if you can’t find the shoe, but it is not OK to lose your sister.” Then he sent us to mum’s workplace by taxi.

When one door of happiness closes, another opens. However, we often look at the door so long that we can’t see the one that has been opened for us. It’s true that we don’t know we’ve got until we lose it, and it’s also true that we don’t know what we’ve been until it goes away.
Giving someone all your doesn’t mean that they’ll love you back. Don’t expect love in return. Just for it to grow in their hearts.
There are many moments in life when you miss someone so much that you want to bring them into your and hug them for real! Dream what you want to dream, go where you want to go, and what you want to be, you have only one life and one chance to do all the things you want to do.
Happiness lies in those who have cried, those who have been hurt, those who have searched, and those who have tried, for only they can understand the of their lives. The future will always be based on a forgotten past. You can’t go on well in your life until you let your past failure and heartaches go.

A group of adults, highly succeeded in their jobs, went to visit their old professor. Soon they began to _ _ the stress in work and life.
The professor went to the kitchen and returned_ _a pot（壶） of coffee and all kinds of cups — crystal (水晶的), glass, plastic; some nice looking, some common looking; some_ _, some cheap. And he told them to help _ _ to the coffee.
When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the professor said, “I’ve noticed that all the nice looking expensive cups were_ _， leaving behind the common and cheap ones. While it is_ _for you to take only the best for yourselves, that is the root(根源) of your _ _ and stress.
You know that the cup itself adds no quality (质量) to the coffee, _ _you really wanted was coffee, not the cup, _ _ you consciously went for the best cups.
Now consider this: Life is the coffee. The jobs, _ _ and position in society are the cups. They are just _ _to hold life, and the type of cup does not change the quality of our life. Sometimes, by only paying attention _ _the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee that God has _ _us. God offers us the coffee, not the cups. Please enjoy your coffee!”
