Having defined goals is the key to feel encouraged towards the future. Some believe it is the prime step to be independent and responsible, while others feel it is not important to work on this on priority.  I align myself with the latter view, and shall elucidate my stand in the following paragraphs. 

To start with, those who are wedded to the idea of defining aims while they are young, feel that this affords a purpose in life, and fills them up with enthusiasm to realize their dreams. Setting goals makes them feel motivated. It is truly said by a great businessman, Mr. Junaid Khan, that defining aims is the first step towards attaining independence, which renders one an immense sense of responsibility since they must chase those desires at their own device. Besides this, as per him, this inspires one to never give up and keep moving with a focused mind, to experience victory. 

On the face of it, others believe that having big goals is not that critical a task: this section is profoundly convinced with the idea of living in the present, and not worrying about the things and days to come. They feel that life is unpredictable and circumstance keeps changing so one should go with the flow. For example famous actress in India, Deepika Padukons daughter of the famous athlete, Prakash Padukone did not aim to become an actress, but it was her coincidental discovery by a director that fetched her fame in the film industry: she admits that she never planned any of her future forays.   

In conclusion, even though both the perceptions are well-reasoned, I opine that one should harbor certain aspirations, and invest efforts into realizing those; it makes their lives more purposeful and satisfying.

Why some think having goals is essential for youngsters 

• In personal, social and professional paradigm, this provides a purpose to life 

• Teaches about devotion to a goal

• One learns to find ways to attain those, 

• bringing them knowledge, 

• experience and broadening their perspective by facing thick and thin,

•  and of course making them creative 

• Brings financial, social and personal affluence  

Why some think about not having goals 

• It can make one self-centered 

• Chasing objectives exposes one to hardships; facing stress or overwork, 

• Go into a disconnect from those around: staying away from nears and dears, abandon social relations 

• If one fails to accomplish their goals, one feels dejected and lost 

• Expose one to physical and mental ailments   

Intro 1

When it comes to defining objectives for the future, many feel that this should be a mandatory practice for young individuals. However, the other lobby exhibits its disinclination towards the former suggestion. The following paragraphs shall delve deeper into this matter and share a justified conclusion. 

Intro 2

Some people suggest that it is essential for the young generation to define what they want to attain in their life, whereas the other lobby is disinclined/disinterested in subscribing to this practice. This essay intends to delve deeper into this debate and emanate a justified conclusion.

Intro 3 

While it is true that the young generation should establish some objectives to give a purpose to their life, some are averse to this practice, for they fear this might deprive them of enjoyable moments.  

To start with, determining  (discerning) aims at a young age affords a clear vision for future in all walks of life: personal, familial, social and professional, and act as roadmaps that one uses to tread to fulfill aspirations and expectations of diverse realms/spheres, and experience satisfaction. To exemplify, Dr. Nikita Dudeja, a famous human behavior specialist, professes that the youth with an eye on the future are more organized and content since they get to see things happening as per their expectations, and enjoy the exploits of their planned efforts. Such  individuals are known to lead a happier life than their directionless counterparts. 

Similarly, this propensity can make one vulnerable to new skills, inventiveness and a hard working approach. To corroborate, Professor Uroosa Khan, University of Technology, Toronto professes that, the goals persuade the energetic young individuals to find ways to surmount barriers obscuring their targets, garner proficiency, and discover radical solutions to reap their desired outcomes. 

Nevertheless, there is some skepticism about this habit; some fear that this might predispose them to hardships, and mental and physical afflictions, tying them to their obsession of gaining access to things they dearly crave for, and making them work recklessly, thereby detaching them from their families, social circles and surroundings, robbing them of the opportunities to enjoy their life, and making things miserable for them. 

In hindsight, even though the reservations against harboring ambitions might hold some substance, a life without aspirations, and expectations, is bound to be without direction and structure, and make things chaotic in the long run.
