Important goal setting is setting a clear, achievable goal, since if
no goal - no sense in living. I want to share with you an inspiring story about one thing.
millionaire who was asked to give a speech "How to achieve success in life" before
graduates of Yale University. He came on the scene with the words: "Dear
graduates, I graduated from this university a long time ago and since then there is a lot
has changed. Now many of you have a car, a wealthy family, you have everything for
good life When I came to this university, I had nothing when
