I just want to know as how important is to set goals inorder to succeed in life. Most of the people in this world doesnt succeed in life just because they dont have any concrete set of goals and vision of life. It would be very nice if you can respond to my discussion so that everyone participating in this discussion will benifit out of it.

It's important to set goals and to write them down otherwise you don't know where you are heading. Setting goals leads to success.

I agree with you. I add the follwoing paramters to gauge this: 1.Make the goal believable. Your goal should be consistent with your personal values system, and you must believe you can reach the goal. It is critically important that you believe in yourself. You must see yourself with the goal in hand. 2.The goal must be achievable. You must have the mental and physical capacity to reach the goal. It would, however, be important for your goal to cause you to stretch beyond normal self-imposed limits. You will find a goal that causes you to stretch and grow will be the goal that gives you the most satisfaction. Don't be afraid to challenge yourself to go beyond old limits! 3.Make your goal measurable. Deciding to do better than last year or to be happy gives you no standard by which you can measure progress. Be sure to relate your goal to quantity, percentage increases, dollar volume, time or distance. This will allow you to measure your progress. Lets hear from others too. It seems a very good topic. common guys!. we all need goals.

well, i agree as well. it is important to have some type of goals in life. when you have something to drive for then you can acomplish it much easier. but the path to a goal might be difficult. you might know what you want or what you want to do, but have no idea on how to get there or don't have enough knowledge to do it. at that point you should push yourself to learn more to achive your goal.
