Only through setting goals, ambitions and planning for the future can people hope to achieve.
How many times in life have we all heard or said 
 "I wish now I had done that" or "why didn't I take that opportunity or that job".

There are many millions of people that are very reluctant to set  goals in their lives, and they may have many reasons as to why they will not do so.

They may think that it makes no sense in setting goals simply because they have failed so many times in the past that they don’t want that feeling of failure again.

When they didn’t succeed, their self esteem plummeted and they just gave up, or tried again without taking into account why it didn’t work the first time.

There may have been times  when troubles began to occur  they gave up too easily, simply because they  had made goals for themselves that were unrealistic or unattainable.
