setting a goal is necessary

Well, Since it's already late here, I'll just answer your questions. "if a goal is my main target why would I do something else. And if would then how would it make the goal the main target. ? explain goal. ? " That's what you asked. Okay, Back to my game example. There is the main quest and side quest. More often than not, The side quests don't really affect the game or your main quest. But why do players do side quests anyway? Because it makes the game more fun, Challenging, And interesting. That's just like in real life. Of course, Working all the time to complete your goal would not be nice, So that's probably why you want to do else. Like you want to be the first in your class. Studying all the time is what you are most likely to do, But you would also like to have fun in a while, Too. How would it make the goal the main target? Well, Doing those thing won't really affect the goal. It's up to you whether or not you want to continue pursuing that goal. Explain goal? Well, I think you already explained it clearly enough. Something you have decided to achieve several reasons. "you said goal is winning. ? Elaborate more on that (the test example)" Ah, Yes, The test example. Of course, There would be several reasons for you to try and get perfect on the test. You might want to get on the honor list, Make your parents proud, Etc. As for cheating on the test, That would mean you are obsessed on getting perfect on the test. You want nothing else but that, Even committing a crime just to achieve it. "you choose medicine if you want to become a doctor i am asking did you think why do want to become a doctor. ? " Okay, So just so you know, I personally do not want to be a doctor. But if the person wanted to become a doctor, They would have thought about it. They could have chosen to be a doctor to help people, To cure people, Or just to have a prestigious degree so people would respect him. It's a lifelong decision, So you should think long and hard and stick with it. "can you exemplify with some examples whether you've set a particular materialistic goal and how that worked out for you(not necessarily here, Text me if you'd like)" Well, I was born in a middle class family, But it was still hard for us to get by. I always dreamed of getting rich also, So I could at least be better off than now, And also help my family. Well, I tried to do sell things at my school, Sold gulaman (if you don't know what that is, Search it on Google. ) saved all my money from a P3 allowance (I don't know if it's my Chinese blood, But I saved every single peso I got. Also, I live in the Philippines. ) everything I can. Now, Even though I'm still in high school, I have around P100 000 (or around 1850 USD, Which isn't that much in the US, But it's still a lot here. ) P50 000 in stocks, P35 000 in a crowdfunding, And P15 000 in savings in the bank. I still haven't achieved my goal though, But good progress. Oh, And if you don't know, I sent you a friend request. If you want, You can accept it and we could talk every once in a while. Anything you want to talk about, I'm open. Anyways, I got to sleep now, So, Good night, Mate. :) Also, Good luck, May the best debator win. :)
