Everyone wants to be successful in life. The easiest way to do so is to set goals for yourself just for a day or for the rest of your life.

This will keep me from wondering off and actually paying attention to what the instructor is teaching the class. In addition, I won’t be bothered by my friends and will finish all my work that is due at
