Most people set their own goals and try hard to achieve their objectives. Making a plan will make your life better. If everything goes smoothly, of course, you will live an ideal life. By the way, life is always highly variable. As time goes by, we face more immense hardships, and it’s hard to achieve optimum results like we had planned. In this situation, it’s better to make failure a stepping stone to success rather than to struggle with failure.

 In our society, it is easy to find people who have perfectionist tendencies. The perfectionist temperament may make you more successful in your work. However, as most things have pros and cons, perfectionists have weaknesses. Making a goal can help you achieve your dream; however, it can also be poison. Having a guilty conscience and feeling excessive frustration may ruin some people. Some people even suffer from severe depression. 

 Setting a goal and working hard for your dream is important in life, but being stressed is not good for your mental health. As I said in last issue’s editorial, making a comma in your life is important. Do not compare yourself with others too much. Making a plan for achievement that suits you is critical for your life. Also, learning from failure and improving yourself is the best way to make your life happier. Do not be afraid of failure and do not be overly concerned with your emotions! Pharos always supports you in your goals!
