Your goals, short- or long-term, benefit decisions related to what you desire to achieve whether this involves your personal, professional or academic lives. If you don't feel that the situation is a priority or that you will find some degree of value in your life from it, the process of setting goals will be obsolete from the equation. If you do however, desire to conquer or achieve something specific, the chances of your achieving it will definitely improve if you set attainable goals. Your goals are like a road map leading to your final destination; the rainbow leading to the pot of gold. Explain.
