Always, we should have a purpose when we want to do something. We should not begin to work or do some activities without a purpose or motivation. That's the difference between getting a goal and failing it.
The first thing that comes in our mind before doing something is the goal but we never think about the purpose of that goal. Before doing something, we should ask ourselves: Why do I want it? What will I achieve when I do it? What will happen when I reach my goal? If we can answer all these questions, we can know where we are going and why we are heading that way.
Always, goals are difficult to attain and there are times that we don't get it. But why do we achieve the goal sometimes? Because we don't think on our purpose. Instead, we think on the obstacles created or seen by our mind so that we can't beat it.
I think the secret to achieve a goal is to ignore those obstacles and concentrate on the present purpose.
So, tell me, why do you want to speak English? What do you achieve so far? And what will happen when you get your goal?
I want to share this video which I love to watch whenever I feel depressed and unmotivated.
Remember to focus on your goal. Ignore the obstacles.

Ricardo,

I'm learning English simply because I want to learn it.
I learn English for getting a good job at the company I would like to join, because nowadays it's almost impossible to get a good job without good knowledge of English language.
