a few tips on how to use goal , target , purpose , aim Goal - it is usually something you can not touch or count , it is intangible example : My goal in life is to be the best in Badminton you can not count or touch best Target - it is usually something you can count or touch , it is tangible example : The company has a target income of $10,000 per month you can count and touch money Purpose - It can mean reason or It can mean desire example : My purpose in life is to help animals My desire in life is to help animals Aim - it can mean intention , direction example : I aim to get higher grades I intend to get higher grades

A goal is something you perform different tasks for to eventually reach. For example your goal is to buy a new car, so you work until you get enough money to achieve it. Purpose is basically: for what reason are you performing a task? Example: A teacher's purpose for teaching is to help students become educated. Target is similar to goal, and aim ties into it: aim is what direction you are going in to reach your target. Your target is the finish line, so you aim straight forward to reach that target. I hope this helped.
