"Life is a long，long journey." so we are told，and most of us would not set off on a journey，even a short one，without some ideas of where we wanted to go.Yet many people travel on life's journey with no sense of direction at all.
Setting personal goals can give your life a sense of direction.Goal setting is used by top sports players，successful business people and achievers in all fields.Before you set personal goals，think about what you want to achieve with your life.
Try to set goals in some of the following categories（类别）：
Education一Will you achieve the educational goals after finishing high school？Are you still growing and learning？
Family一What kind of relationship do you want with your parents and other family members？
Creative一Do you want to achieve any artistic goals？
Career - What job do you want to take when you grow up？What do you need to make your dream come true？
Public Service 一Do you want to make the world a better place？
Physical一Are you fit enough to do the things you want to do？
Pleasure一How do you want to enjoy yourself？
To help make the process more manageable，divide your goals into smaller tasks.For example，if you want to reach a main goal in five years，set a three-year goal，a one-year goal，a three- month goal and a one-month goal.Then create a daily To-Do List of things that you should do today.When a goal is achieved，take the time to enjoy your success.This helps you build the self-confidence.
Remember，your goals can be changed as time goes on.But be sure your goals are the things you hope to achieve，not what your parents，family or teachers want.

1．It is common to surf the Internet at home now.However，a recent survey showed over 90% of parents are not clear what websites their children visit.I strongly believe that a training project should be started to help parents to improve their internet and computer skills.Then they can better monitor and guide their children.
Providing training would get parents to pay more attention to their children's online activities.This is one advantage.If parents had a better understanding of the internet and websites，they would see the need to make sure that their children use it properly and responsibly.
Providing training to parents would allow parents to help their children with their schoolwork as well.These days，some homework of online courses needs to be done on computer.If parents have poor computer skills，they will be of little or no help with the homework.That can make parents very upset.Some people argue that it is good that students can work independently on computers.However，it is clear that students，especially young students often need this kind of home support.
Improving parents' Internet and computer skills might also be a good way for parents to improve their relationships with their children.These days，children spend a lot of their free time on computers.If parents want to be part of their free time，they need to see that playing on computers can be a fun family activity.Joining their children can help parents bridge the gap between them and their children.
Most people believe that children need to be helped and guided to use the Internet in a proper and responsible way.Therefore，training is extremely important.

A．advises children not to spend a lot of their free time on computers

3．Have you ever met large changes in life and work？How would you feel in most cases？In fact，we all have to go through the grief cycle（悲伤周期），which has the following periods：
The first period： "It can't be happening."
Anger： "Why me？It's not fair."
Depression： "I'm so sad.Why do I have to do all of these？"
Acceptance： "It's going to be OK."
I'm honestly not sure how scientific this model is，but I certainly believe that you will work better after going through these major changes.
Find out what your anger does for you -- good or bad？
What does being angry do for you？Think back to the situation where you have been angry at work and ask yourself how it influences you，including：your relationship with co-workers，the quality（质量） of your work and health，how you feel outside of work，your relationship with friends and family.
Find out what makes you angrier and less angry.
What makes you angrier？Which thoughts，situations，people or conversations set you off？And what makes you less angry？I'm sure you are not angry all the time.What makes you calm and stops you from feeling angry？Find out.Then start doing less of what makes you angry and more of the things that cool you down.
Focus on gratitude.
What are you grateful for？As I mentioned above，anger is part of the grief cycle which is connected with what you lose.Gratitude is the opposite of loss because it comes from the good things you have in your life.It's simple.Every evening，sit down with a piece of paper and make two gratitude lists：three things I was grateful for at work today；three things I was thankful for in life today.
Change your focus from "What was done to me" to "What I can do".
I know，this is the basic piece of all self-help advice.Life is 10% about what happens to you and 90% about how you deal with it，or you must take responsibility for your own situation，rather than be a victim（牺牲品） of it.That kind of advice can get pretty boring.But that doesn't make it less true.
