D
If you're working to become better or hoping to make a change, you'll probably hear your family and friends say "go big or go home". They think you should set high goals. But is it really good?
Having high goals could be good. It can encourage you to get better. When you have high goals for something, you'll probably try your best to make them come true. For example, if you want to get an A in a test, you will probably spend a lot of time working on it. Also, when you start meeting your goals, you'll set even higher goals for yourself. Besides, having high goals for yourself doesn't only do you good. It will make a difference to others.
But if your goals are too high to realize, it can be bad. Having high goals can sometimes lead to mental problems, such as worry and unhappiness. The findings of a study showed that some students were under serious stress because they wanted to be perfect. High goals can also let you down. This is especially true when you set goals for other people whose actions you cannot control. For example, if you're feeling lonely and you call up your friends, you surely expect them to make you feel better. When this fails to happen, you will feel down and unsatisfied with your friends. To avoid this situation, you should set your goals realistically (切合实际地).
It is hard to manage goals, but the main thing is to set a more realistic and achievable goal.
