PART B_2

Some people say that it is better to have one simple goal than not to have any goals at all. Having goals is important because they give people direction in life. Goals should be clear, and to achieve them, goal setting is important.

People become more confident when they set goals because they can check their progress and see how they are moving toward achieving their goals. Goal setting helps people focus on the things that should be done first. It also encourages them to work toward achieving their goals within a given time frame. Goal setting is like making a map. Through proper goal setting and using it as a guide, people can achieve their goals in life.
