71 instead of just letting life happen to you, goals allow you to make your life happen. successful people imagine how their life should be and set lots of goals 72 . its like having a map to show you where you want to go. thank of it this way. there are two drivers. one has a destination (目的地) in mind which can be found on a map. she can drive straight there without any wasted time or wrong turns. the other driver has no goal or destination or map. she starts off at the same time from the same place as the first driver, but she drives aimlessly around, never getting anywhere, just using up gas. which driver do you want to be?
