In this world, there are many people who want to change their situation and hope to achieve something, but there are very few people who can really concretize this desire into a clear goal and unswervingly strive for it, and in the end, desire is just desire after all. Obviously, we can no longer get by like this, we must find a place for our eyes and determine a direction for our lives, so that our dreams will not become utopian.

On the road of life, we must not be like headless flies running around, doing those useless work with a hammer in the east and a stick in the west. If we want to succeed, we must establish a clear direction for our lives and unswervingly strive for this ideal. Only in this way will you not waste the golden period of your life, and you will be able to lay a career foundation for yourself before the arrival of the year of confusion.

It seems to be a cliché that people must have ideals, but ask yourself, when we were young, how many of us really established our goals in life and fought for them? I'm afraid most of my friends didn't do it.

Harvard University in the United States has spent 25 years to conduct a follow-up survey on a group of college students with similar conditions in all aspects with the content of "the impact of goals on life", and found that 27% of these young people lack goals; 60% of people do not have a clear goal; 10% have goals that are clear but only short-term; Only 3% have clear long-term goals.

After 25 years, almost all of the 3% of college students have become social elites, including successful entrepreneurs, industry leaders, and so on; 10% of people with short-term goals have been living in the middle and upper strata of society, and their lives are relatively comfortable; 60% of those with vague goals live in the lower middle class of society, without worrying about food and clothing, nothing more; The 27% who do not have a goal have been at the bottom of the social ladder and their living conditions are extremely unsatisfactory.

In fact, the goal is like the drawing of a building, if there is no accurate and detailed blueprint before the building is built, then the construction project will fall into blindness, and perhaps in the end it will only be a building that does not look like a four. If a person lives without a purpose, perhaps this life can only be passed.

I once heard a story about a young man named Jenkins who saw someone nailing a fence and walked over to help. After nailing it a few times, he felt that the wood was not neat enough, so he found a saw; After a few clicks, he felt that the saw was not fast enough, and went to look for a file; When you find the file, you find that you must attach a suitable handle to the file; In this way, it is inevitable to cut down a small tree; And to cut down a small tree, you must sharpen the axe; To sharpen the axe quickly, the grinding stone must first be fixed; Wooden slats for supporting the grinding stone are required, and carpentry benches are required to make the wooden slats...... Jenkins decided to ask for the tools he needed, and never returned.

Whatever they do, Jakins can't start from the beginning. He had devoted himself to learning French, but in order to master it completely, he had to know Old French, and to learn Old French well, he had to know Latin first. Then Jakins discovered that the only way to learn Latin well was to master Sanskrit, so he turned his attention to Sanskrit. In this way, I really don't know when and when I will be able to learn French.

Mr. Jaggins' ancestors left him some fortune, from which he used $100,000 to build a gas plant, but the price of coal, the raw material, made it difficult for him to make ends meet. So he sold the gas plant for $90,000 and invested in the coal mine. At this time, he realized that the cost of coal mining equipment was staggering. So he sold the coal mine for $80,000 and switched to machine building...... In this way, Juggins went in and out of various related industrial fields, but never achieved anything.

His situation deteriorated, and he eventually had to sell his remaining shares to buy a pension that he had withdrawn year by year. However, with the amount of withdrawals decreasing year by year, if he lives a long life, it will definitely not be enough. The failure of Jenkins is that his goals are always changing, so he has to struggle between them, and what can he do but waste money, material resources, time and life?

The so-called "everything is clear, everything is loose", "everything is mediocre, it is better to be proficient in everything", this is a kind of law. Dale Carnegie, after analyzing many cases of personal failure, came to the conclusion that "one of the root causes of young people's career failure is that their energy is too scattered." "It's an indisputable fact that many losers in life have slipped in and out of multiple industries. Think about it, if they can concentrate on one point and work tirelessly in an industry, why not become the best in the world?

From this, we can draw such a conclusion: life needs a clear goal, with a goal, we can avoid detours and go straight to the topic, otherwise we will be like a blind person, stumbling and difficult to go far. It is said that marching in the snow is a dangerous thing, and it is very easy for people to suffer from snow blindness and lose their way to travel.

But people wonder why snow blindness is inevitable even after wearing sunglasses, if it's just because the reflection of snow is too harsh.

Recently, the U.S. Army's research department concluded that it is not the harsh reflection of snow that causes snow blindness, but its emptiness. Scientists say that the human eye is always tirelessly searching the world, from one landing point to another. If it searches continuously and can't find any of the landing spots, it will go blind due to nervousness.

The U.S. Army's approach to snow blindness was to send pioneer troops to shake snow off evergreen bushes. In this way, in the endless snow, clusters and clusters of green scenery appeared, and the search eyes had a landing point. If you don't have a clear goal in life, you will be like a snowy march, not knowing where your eyes are, and in the end, you will only put yourself in a passive situation, even if the destination is in front of you, you may turn a blind eye.

We may not need a great goal, but it has to be achievable, and it has to be achievable, and of course you have to be willing to work for it. In this way, your life will be valuable and meaningful, and when he gets old, we will not feel ashamed and regretful for his life's inaction.
