Nowadays, people tend to consider about whether it is valuable to do something; and if it was worthwhile in their consideration, any efforts and means would be spared to attain their goals. However, the will to make our dreams come true is so strong that we have never thought about the process leading to the achievement. The worse phenomenon is more people think it justifiable to attain their goals by any means.

Obviously, there are lots of methods that can help us attain our goals; some of the methods are easy and some difficult, some enjoyable and some painful, some attaining soon and some taking a long period of time. Since the will to attain the goals are so strong that makes more and more people try the easy, enjoyable, fast-payback methods. Indeed, no one wants to choose the hard way even if it leads to success. Just take the biggest problem exists in our society into discussion. The higher and higher rate of unemployment brings a huge stress and pressure to whatever the young or the elder. Some people face it and adjust their solutions to their dreams, such as starting their own business, re-hunting for their jobs, enrolling universities to learn something new. While there are some people who feel like the end of world comes; they think the society gives up them so that they give up themselves as well. These two kinds of people under the unemployment actually have the same goal: to gain the money that can survival lives. The former people choose the harder but optimist ways while the latter choose the easier ways, depending on their parents, or the society welfare. That is to say, so many choices and solutions can help us attain to our goals; the matter is which one we would choose.

However, let think about one question, why we have to choose some solutions? The answer is that we want to attain our goals. Another question, why we have to attain our goals? Maybe the answer would be different for people to people. The answer may be for survival, for family, for oneself, or for belief. It is, ultimately, for one's own value, what they think is true and worthwhile to chasing after no matter they are poor or rich, sick or healthy, old or young. The real goal we are trying to attain which is linked with our sense of value. For example, as we have mentioned, one could try to start a new business, one could live on the social welfare, or one could turn himself/herself a beggar. That's all depends on their ego-values.

The time people pursuing for attain their goals is the time they trying to approach their values. The values could not be so great like some heroes but they should be justifiable and they could make us be pound of them. Once the means lead to the goals are not that pure or justifiable, they would influent our values of it. The values at that time would be not that grace and respectable.

In conclusion, to attain a goal by all mean is available but not justifiable. And which means we choose depends on our values and belief.
