I met my friend Stella Smith the other day and she stated that she was having trouble sticking to her goals and finishing what she started. She said that she has decided many times that today will be the day that she works to complete that goal. She even went on to say that she talks about it a lot with her family and friends and they don’t believe her anymore. Her goal is to start her own business. She loves to cook and she is great at it, but no one believes that she will complete it. Every time she tries to start her business something else happens in her life that makes her have to put her goals on hold for a while.
I truly believe that she wants to complete this goal and it seems to be very near to her heart. But no one is going to take you seriously until you start to take yourself seriously! If you are constantly talking about what you are going to do, then it can seem that you are just talking! Take a chance and make your dreams and your goals priorities. I understand that on your journey, sometimes there are obstacles that are in the way. Keep your eyes on your goals and never give up! Decide that you must keep moving to complete what’s important to you.
If you set a goal to complete, you should be consistently working to achieve that goal. Your actions will show others that you are serious. It takes hard work and determination to achieve any goal that you set for yourself. You can talk about what you plan to do all day long, but a plan is nothing without a map attached to it. It’s just a plan. You have to identify exactly how you are going to make it happen. As I’ve said before, nothing happens overnight, but if you trust yourself, you can make your dream a reality.

A. we should make the dreams and goals priorities
B. we can achieve anything we are longing for
C. we must make a practical goal in the daily life

B. Empty talk leads to less and less credit.
C. Life is full of troubles and choices.
D. It is hard to start a career.
3. At heart the author believes Stella Smith ________.
A. didn’t get timely help from her friends
B. really takes herself seriously
C. didn’t make efforts to reach her goals
D. didn’t find a good chance to succeed
4. What kind of person does the author admire?
A. A person with great dreams and goals.
B. A person with a talent for making his plans.
C. A person with new ideas to carry out his plans.
D. A person with great perseverance and dedication.
