2.1.5 Goals in Somebody Life
The purpose of life represents a truth-seeking question. Yaseen states that there are a lot of answers we will get if we ask about goals in somebody life. People
are confused, they do not know what they actually want to achieve in this life. These confusions can be seen through questions such as why are we born? What is the
object of our existence? What is the wisdom behind the creation of man and this tremendous universe?
People always try to find out the answer of those questions www.sultan.orgarticlespurposeoflife.htm. In order to answer those questions,
people make guidance about what they will do in their life. This guidance is commonly called “goals in life”. Goals in somebody life are different between one
and others. Jess and Gregory 499 state that high personal standards and goals can lead to
achievements and self-satisfaction. However, when people set their goals too high, they are likely to fail. Failure frequently leads to depression, and depressed people
often undervalue their own accomplishment. Having goals in life is very important. It makes our words, attitude and deed
on the right track. Goals in life will help somebody use their time and chance as best as possible because they already know what they will do. Without goals in life,
somebody tend to waste their time and chance.
