We need to have goals written down as a person because we tend to forget them otherwise.  And if you forget your goals, you'll forget why you are bothering to make the effort that is required from YOU.  Soon after that happens, you will become one of the drifters wasting precious time of YOUR LIFE.

Years later, you may wonder what have you been doing all this years.

If we do not have goals, we have no incentive to do anything.  Human beings are driven by the DESIRES to improve their situations and you need a planned way to achieve those  GOALS.

It is so important to have YOUR GOALS written down that a top business school found that the three percent of students in a long-term survey who had their goals written down earned more over the next 20 years than all the rest of the students in their class combined.  They became millionaires because they had goals and hence the incentive to stay motivated long enough to SUCCEED.

Most people do realise what they could do to gain success, they just don't have the motivation to do that.  Or they start it and don't follow through.  If you can see the things you want, you want them all the harder, and that's when you'll get to work to make those things real.

We must always be striving for something or we grind to a halt.
