What is a goal?

• A. A dream you never pursue
• B. A skill you practice daily
• C. Something you work toward and hope to achieve
• D. A random event

Answer: (C)

A goal is something you work toward and hope to achieve. It’s a target you set and a plan you put into action to reach, which gives you direction and motivation. When you have a goal, you organize your efforts, track progress, and stay focused over time, turning a wish into something concrete.

This description fits because it emphasizes both aiming for a future outcome and taking steps to get there. A dream you never pursue stays just an idea without a plan or effort. A skill you practice daily is a tool or habit you use to reach goals, not the goal itself. A random event is outside your control and not something you aim to accomplish.
