Anthony's GOALs




Everyone should have one or two goals in their minds. To people, personal objectives help to provide both motivation and a meaningful life. This is why, aims are very essential. In my view, my two key goals are to be like my father, and earn my own money.

First, to be like my father I need to copy his behaviour. He is a responsible, reliable, and supportiVE person. Although he is a busy businessman, he is able to arrange his time to take care of me, like my mother does. I have to focus on his actions. I will do the same things to my future children, for example, gain an abundant knowledge. I must work very hard to follow in my father’s footsteps. I also need to listen to what he tells me and copy his every word.

Another goal is to earn my own money and try not to use my father’s or mother’s money. If I do so, this means that I am not grown up. At first, I have to get several flexible part-time jobs such as work at McDonalds, or in telecommunications. Then, I need to support myself individually, by putting money in the bank and paying my rent. When I am working, I need to see colleagues’ faces and listen to what they tell me. Mostly, people will surrender in this case, however, to be successful I have to do this very well. Telling myself not to be lazy and pushing myself forward and talking less are all important. Eventually, after making enough money I can invest the capital into a business and earn a large amount of money.

In conclusion, my two greatest purposes in life are to be similar to my father and to be financially independent. Both goals will permit me to live well. Therefore, I promise that I will try my best to achieve them so that I may be successful in my life.

My Goals -Jenny

The important thing when talking about a person’s purpose for the future is to consider the basic factors in his or her life. Basic elements such as food, shelter, clothing, or health in people’s lives are far more important than other aspects such as an expensive car or luxury items. I think that basic are like health and money are essential to a fulfilling life. Therefore, I believe that my ambitions are to manage my health and money well.


My first aim for the future is to keep healthy during life because I think health is the most important and basic element approach to being happy. For example, if a family member has cancer, all members of the family will not be happy or joyful including the person who is will. Sickness never lets people feel blessed and delighted. Therefore, health management is the most essential element in remaining cheerful. In my case, I try to do exercise at least every other day for my health. Besides, I usually go shopping and buy fresh food because eating fresh vegetables is also good for my health. Moreover, taking a rest is a effective way to make our busy body calm down, which can help us concentrate on work or study more when we come back to our daily routines. As long as I put those habits into practice, I can maintain my body in good condition as well as project wholesome appearance. Therefore, I think health is my primary purpose in life.

Another ambition I have is making as much money as possible before retiring because I need money for many aspects of life. In current society, I think money is as valuable and useful as health because we can exchange money with necessities such as food, clothing or shelter. Also, it can be an important factor in health management. In addition, I need to use my money sparingly in case I cannot support myself someday. For instance, if I lost my job and I do not have enough money even to provide the living necessities, my life will be difficult. Furthermore, I cannot maintain my social relationships without money and I cannot get any education without it. Therefore, I think money is highly important.

In conclusion, keeping healthy and saving money are my objectives in life. The two of them are also related to each other because money is the best medium to support a healthy life. Also, healthy habits can help me maintain good relationships and also impact on making money in a positive way. Therefore, I strongly believe the two aims, health and money are key to my life.

My Goals(Alex Song)

When people have their aims, they are motivated to do their best. Therefore, it is a good idea to create personal ambitions to live life fully. Personally, I prefer to make a yearly plan to achieve my dreams. Now, I have two goals, which are becoming a banker and getting into a good business school. There are several reasons why I want to achieve these goals in the future.

First my goal is to get a good job in the near future. I would like to be a banker in a global bank. However, it is very difficult to get a good job in Korea these days. Therefore, it is necessary to do my best to prepare qualifications that a bank requires. For example, I need to study hard in my university to get good marks. The good marks can show the bank that I’m serious and hard working. However, this is not only requirement that I need to prepare. In order to work for a global bank, speaking English is a basic skill to communicate with people from different countries. To learn English speaking, I’m studying English in Canada. This is very good way to learn English in a short period of time.

Second my dream is to study at a business school in America. There are a lot of business schools, which provide a good educational background in the US. Seventy percent of good business schools are in America. In addition, if I study in the States, I can also meet many people who have more varied backgrounds than if I study in Korea. Studying with them can be a very interesting experience because of their different modes of thinking and cultures.

Being actively involved in the accomplishment of my dream is not easy; however, this will allow me great achievements in the future. When I visualize becoming a banker and studying at the business school, I feel that I can do whatever it takes to achieve those purposes. Having a couple of ambitions is provides the necessary motivation to live a life close to my ideals.

My goals!

These days people are exposed to a greater variety of ideas that can attract their attention than in the past. Because of this, we have a lot of choices regarding future goals. Through many experiences, I have come to have two objectives I want to achieve.
Being a psychologist is one of my main dreams. In tenth grade, I read an interesting book on the subconscious part of human behaviour by chance. At that time, I could not stop reading the book until it was finished. This motivated me to keep having concerns about psychology. After reading a lot of books related to psychology, I desired to help people who were in trouble with psychological problems as a professional person. In order to achieve this goal, I will make a steady effort to get a master’s degree abroad. After that, I will establish an organization to help these people.
Another aspiration is to learn an instrument, especially base guitar. In my opinion, sharing music is the best way to spend free time. I had a good experiences when I was in high school. I was a member of an orchestra as a cellist. Whenever playing the cello with my friends who were playing other instruments such as violin or clarinet, I was full of happiness and also got self-satisfaction. The reason why I long to learn base guitar is that I am interested in jazz and above all I can play cello; this means it is easy to learn base guitar for me because cello and base guitar are related. I am able to learn this instrument easily as I was taught how to play cello.
To be a psychologist and to learn how to play the base guitar are my main aims that I wish to attain in my life. I make the best out of my opportunities that I can get inside and outside of school. I will try my hardest to achieve my goals.

My Goals (by Joe)



Most people have some main goals,such as finding a well paid job, having a loving family and keeping healthy. In my view, family and health are the most important aims, so they are my major objectives for next five years.
In the first place, family is one of the most important aspects of life for most people, including me. It is hard to live alone for a long time, especially, when people get old. People need to share life with someone else. However, getting married and having children is my first main aim for the next five years. Firstly, I have to find a woman who is compatible with me, and then get married. After that, if the situation allows, we will have children.
Apart from family, I suppose health is my second chief aspiration, because if you do not have health everything in your life has no meaning. For instance, we can imagine health as the number one, and your worth as many zeros. No matter how many zeros that you have, if health has gone, everything is zero. On the other hand, if you are healthy you worth becomes one plus many zeros, which translates into a fulfilling life. For the next five years I want to be a healthy person, so I have to keep doing exercise every day.
In conclusion, important goals for me are to have a loving family and keep healthy. If I can do, I will feel gratified, and my life will be meaningful. Therefore, I have to insist on it and achieve it.

My Goals

Nowadays, many people are pursuing their goals and dreams, so am I. I had many dreams, when I was young. Now I have two relevant goals. One is to have a good job; another is to travel around the world.
In my opinion, to get a suitable job is one of the most important things in my life. If I can get my ideal job, my life will be wonderful. My ideal job is to be an Economics teacher. That is why I chose Economics as my major when I was in university. My study area was international economy and trade. I find it is very interesting; I can use what I learned to predict market changes. That is amazing. When I did a presentation for my classmates and professor, I won praise. I found I have a talent for teaching and speaking. However, to be a teacher is not an easy thing, especially an Economics teacher. I have to learn the skill of teaching; furthermore, I have to expand my knowledge of Economics.
Another aim is to travel around the world. When I was an adolescent, I dreamed that one day I could travel around the world by ship. I like reading tourism books. When I read one, I am really excited. I want to go to Maldives, to see the awesome seashore and beautiful beaches, and to have experience about scuba diving; I want to go to Canada, to see the adorable polar bears and the great Niagara Falls. Traveling not only provides relaxation, but also broadens our experience and proliferates our knowledge.
To sum up, getting an ideal job and traveling around the world are important aims and dreams for me. I will do my best to achieve my goals, because it can make a difference in my life and make me feel wonderful.

My goals

People have their own dreams in their minds. Although individuals have different aspirations, they work hard to accomplish their aims. Like others, I have my own dreams which are to buy a house and a car within two to five years.
My first dream is to buy a car within two years. Despite the fact that Vancouver has a convenient public transportation system, it is stressful to search bus schedules, and look for bus routes when I go somewhere. Also, in order to take a bus or sky train, I have to waste time on the roads to get to the bus stops, and sky-train stations. However, I can go anywhere at anytime if I have my own car. I do not need to look for bus schedules, and I can readily go some places where there are not working public transportation systems. For these reasons, I would like to buy a car. Although I need to get a job to pay the upkeep of the car, such as insurance, and gas, I can accomplish my aim if I work hard.
Another purpose is to buy a house within four years. In Vancouver, apartment rental fees are very expensive. Also, I cannot decorate my rented apartment without a notice to the owner or manager of the apartment; for example, I can’t change the color on the walls, and I can’t hammer any nails into the walls. Because of these reasons, my second aim is to buy a house in Vancouver. I can decorate my house however I want and I do not need to act according to the landlord’s policy. However, in order to buy my own house, I first need to get a high income job in Vancouver, and I have to work hard to save money.
In brief, my two major aims are to buy my own car, and house. These two goals encourage me to work hard. These aims are currently beyond my reach, but I believe that I can accomplish my goals in five years.
