Example:
Nikki:
She hopes to obtain a different position in her company in 1 to 2 months.
Yes
She would like to find another job in her company.

1 to 2 months is not much time to find another job.
James:
He hopes to pursue his dream since high school of playing for the San Diego Chargers.
Yes
He states a specific team and position. (Middle linebacker, San Diego Chargers.)
Yes
He will know if he meets his milestones by how much weight is gained and if he joins a league.
No
As much as I hate to say no, but I do not believe this is attainable. Due to his age, experience, and current geographical location, I do not believe he would make the team, making this an unattainable goal.
No
Again, due to his age, lack of experience, and location, I do not believe that this is a realistic. Many football teams are looking for younger players that will last longer, not older players who only have a few years left to play.
Yes
He does set a time of two years from August, when the training camp starts. It does allow him enough time to gain weight and find a full-contact league.
Jie:
She hopes to gain 5 pounds in one month from now to improve her health and stamina.
Yes
Her goal is very specific. She would like to gain 5 pounds in one month.
Yes
