What is your personal goal in life? Do you know goals and do you work towards a goal in your life? (1)You may already have an idea of what you want to do, but you may not write it down. It could take as little as 10 or 20 minutes, and it’s not too hard. It’s time to think about and write down what you want to realize in life and try your best to make it come true.

How to start? （2）     , imagine you are at the        of your life, looking back. What would you like to have realized? What kind of person would you like to have been? Now here’s the key: start living your life so that you will finally get to that point.

As you’ve given that a little thought, you may already have an idea of what you do. Then the second step is to write down the goals you’d like to reach, either in a short time or a long time—daily goals, weekly goals, monthly goals, yearly goals and life goals. They can be different from each other, in different areas. But don’t have too many goals at a time. Don’t have goals that are impossible to come true.

Now it’s the last step. Take action! Work hard to realize your goals. Once you have set up a goal, try hard and never give up, even if there are some difficulties.

Saturday morning was bright and fresh. There was a song in every heart, cheer on every face, and a spring in every step.

Tom appeared with a bucket（桶）of white paint in one hand and a brush in the other. His Aunt Polly told him to paint the fence（篱笆）around the garden. It was ninety feet long and nine feet high. He felt very blue.

Then he had a wonderful idea. He picked up his brush and started to work.

Soon Ben came along the road. He was happily eating an apple. He stopped to look at Tom. Tom went on painting and pretended（假装）not to see Ben.

“I’m going swimming,” said Ben. “Do you want to go swimming, Tom? But I guess you can’t. You have to stay and work, don’t you?”       

“Work?” Tom said. “This isn’t work. I’m enjoying myself. Does a boy get a chance to paint a fence like this every day?”

Ben thought about this. Tom continued painting carefully. Sometimes he stopped, stood back to look at the fence like an artist, and then added（增加）a bit more paint in just the right place. Ben was watching Tom paint with great interest. He was getting more and more eager（渴望的）to have a try himself.

After a while, Ben asked Tom if he would let him paint a little. Tom thought about it, and said, “No, Ben, I can’t. You see. Aunt Polly wants it to be done well. Aunt Polly said that I must paint it with great care.”

“Oh, please, Tom,” begged Ben. “I can do it. I’ll be really careful. Just let me try. I’ll give you half of my apple. Well, I’ll give you all of it!”

“Well, all right, Ben,” said Tom. “You must be very careful.”

He gave Ben his brush with worry on his face but joy in his heart. He sat down under the tree, and started to eat Ben’s apple. All day, boys came to make fun of Tom, but they ended up staying to paint. When Ben got tired, Billy was waiting. He gave Tom a kite for a chance to paint. Then Johnny offered him a basketball, and so on.

By late afternoon Tom had got all kinds of toys, and the fence had got three coats of paint. Later Aunt Polly came to look at the painted fence. She was so pleased with Tom’s work that she gave Tom a large cake!
