What’s it? Do you want to bee a writer, singer or just bee a rich person? A recent survey shows that in modern society, most people pick up practical goals, such as “earning money to buy a house and a car”, “to improve one’s life quality”, “finding a good job”. Wang You worked in a small firm (商行 ) in Nanjing. The job was good and he didn’t have to work for extra hours. However, he felt the work was not exciting at all and the life was boring. So he gave up his job and went to Beijing in February, 2021. When he arrived in Beijing, he set his new goal as finding a good job. Nowadays more and more people want to live a better life. This fact shows that the society is making progress and people’s life goals have bee more practical. One researcher says, “Everybody has his/her own life goal, which will be surely different from people to people. If one is poor, one’s life goal will be to earn more money。 say C. to。學生們，無論年紀大小，都在您的掌心得到呵護。 4.

Too often we blame (埋怨 ) someone else. “I wish my parents were more understanding.” “I have such a bad Chemistry teacher!” “My friends are so boring and selfcentered. They make my life worse and worse.” Blame! Blame! Blame! It seems natural to sing this selfpitying song, but the truth is, if you don’t like your life, you should do something about it. No one else knows exactly how you feel or what you need. No one can read your mind correctly. You are the only one with the power(能力 ) to change your life, and if you want it to be different, you can change what you’re doing. This means asking “What do I need?

Who needs them anyway?” or you may tell your friends how you feel, listen to their explanation (解釋 ), and let them know you’d like to be invited next time. When you decide everything in your own way, you’re getting hold of your own life and shaping it according to your tastes and feelings. You can choo
