Setting goals can help you control some of the things that happen in your life. There are no guarantees that you will reach all of your goals. But knowing what your goals are can make things clearer for you and can help you keep on track.

There are two kinds of goals. One kind is called long-term goals. The other kind is called short-term goals. Some examples of long-term goals might be: learn to read, complete a high school education, get married, have children, be a computer technician. Some examples of short-term goals are: buy some groceries, go to school today, write a letter, do a six-month course in computers. One person's short-term goal could be another person's long-term goal.
