The father took his three sons to shoot rabbits on the grassland. Before arriving at the destination, everything was ready and started to act. The father asked his three sons a question: "What did you see?"

The boss replied, "I saw the shotguns in our hands, the rabbits running on the grassland, and the endless grassland." Father shook his head and said, "No."

The second child's answer is: "I saw my father, my brother, I saw the shotgun, I saw the hare, I saw the boundless grassland." Father shook his head again and said, "No."

The third answer was only one sentence: "I only saw rabbits." Then the father said, "You got it right."

With a clear goal, we can point out the correct direction for action and take fewer detours on the road to achieving the goal. In fact, aimlessness or too many goals will hinder our progress. If we want to achieve what we want, if it is unrealistic, we may end up with nothing.

Experiments done by psychologists.

One day, a psychologist did an experiment like this:

He organized three groups of people to March to three villages 10 kilometers away.

The people in the first group don't know the name of the village or the distance, just tell them to follow the guide. Just two or three kilometers away, people began to complain; Halfway through, some people were almost angry. They complained about why they had to go so far and when they would get to the end. Some people even sit on the side of the road and refuse to leave. The further they go, the more depressed they get.

The people in the second group know the name of the village and how far it is, but there is no milestone on the roadside, so they can only estimate the time and distance of the trip by experience. Halfway through, most people want to know how far they have gone. More experienced people say, "About half." So, everyone crowded together and walked on.

When we reached three-quarters of the journey, everyone began to feel depressed and tired, and the journey seemed long. When someone says, "Almost there!" "Almost there!" Everyone cheered and sped up the March.

The people in the third group not only know the name and distance of the village, but also have a milestone every kilometer along the road, so people will watch the milestone while walking, and everyone will have a small group of happiness every kilometer shortened. During the journey, they used songs and laughter to eliminate fatigue, and their mood was always high, and they soon reached their destination.

Psychologists have come to the conclusion that when people have a clear goal in action, they can constantly compare their actions with their goals, and then clearly know the distance between their speed and their goals, and people's motivation for action will be maintained and strengthened, and they will consciously overcome all difficulties and strive to achieve their goals.
