my goals in life

we often hear that it is important to have goals in life because they make life meaningful and interesting. without goals it is unlikely that you will make any progress. when you set a goal you know where to move. even if there are any problems in your life you can still focus on your goal rather than these problems.

my main goal is to be happy. i have thought about it many times and i believe i have found the answer to the question “what is happiness? ” for me happiness is to become a successful professional, to love and be loved, to have a big friendly family and to help other people to change their lives for the better. as you can see, one big goal breaks up into several smaller ones.

at this stage of my life my primary goals are to complete secondary education with good results and enter one of the prestigious universities in order to get a high-quality education there. this will give me a good start in my professional career. understanding these goals helps me to study at school, do my homework with great diligence and try to learn something new every day.

i do not know whether i will be able to achieve all these goals, but even if i fail, i am sure that i will become a better person and i will find new goals to set in my life.

christmas tragedy with happy end

christmas eve it’s a time when magical things happen.

i’d like to tell you a real story that happened last year on christmas eve.

that evening i together with a friend went to greet my grandparents who live not far from us. everything went very well, we were having fun, but finally were supposed to go home. we said good-bye to my grandparent and run home to have a party with my parents and their friends. as soon as i live on the 5-th floor, i never hesitate to use an elevator. i pressed the button, the elevator arrived, opened the door, we entered, pressed the necessary button, the door closed, and than we heard a strange sound that reminds sound of a dying light bulb, the light switched off and the elevator stopped.   all this happened 40 minutes before midnight. we were staying in that dark quiet box.

thanks god, i had my cellular phone with me, i called my parents, and they called the elevator repair company, but nobody answered there.

than my friend and i began to plead santa tearfully to do a miracle and let us out of the elevator. and i think that we asked him so earnestly to do a miracle, that that miracle happened: the light turned on and the door opened three minutes before midnight.

and we all had a really happy christmas.
