10．There are many reasons that goals go unfulfilled．For many，goal setting is a never ending circle that starts，stops，and begins again．To help us succeed in reaching our goals，let's examine the reasons why many people fail at reaching them．Here are 7Reasons That You   Won't Reach Your Goals：
1．You Don't Have Any Goals
Too many people are afraid to"set"their goals．Afraid of failing．Afraid of disappointment．Well，you definitely won't complete them if you don't try．Make a choice and set your goals．Otherwise you will end up wherever life takes you．
2．You Don't Start
OK，so you have a goal．What have you done about it？Have you started it yet？What are you waiting for？Procrastination is responsible for the failure of many goals．
3．You Aren't Willing to"Buy"Your Goals
Yes，you have to buy your goals．Why？Because every goal has a price．It has a cost．Time．Money．Sweat．Sacrifice．You will have to"pay"for your goals in some manner．
4．Your Goals Are Unrealistic．
Make sure that your goals are possible and that you set an adequate time frame for success．
5．You Won't Stick With It
Over half of goals will be given up within 30days．You set your goals．You started them．And then…you gave up．Are you using life's daily happenings as excuses？Goals are not   reached through one effort．Rather，they are made in small steps over time．
6．You Will Fail…And You Won't Get Back Up!
No one succeeds immediately．Those who appear to have effortlessly succeeded have usually put in years of preparation and practice．You have to fall down many times before you will succeed．Skill is learned by doing．
7．You Quit Before The Finish Line
Too many people stop…right before the finish line．It's almost like they are afraid of succeeding．Often a life event is used as the reason for not finishing．Something always comes up before you finish．
Are you reaching your goals？Which of these is keeping you from succeeding？Set your goals．Stay the course．Always get back up when you fail．And make sure you cross the finish line．

9．Humans might be the most highly-evolved species on the planet，but most animals possess skills we can only dream of having．Imagine how much electricity we could save if we could see in the dark the way cats do．Imagine leaping from tree to tree like a monkey．Giraffes，which are otherwise calm and good-natured，sleep only 4.6hours a day．
We realized a long，long time ago that nature provides the best blueprint for invention．We've borrowed canals from beavers and reflectors from cat's eyes．Although the words"bionics"（仿生学） became popular only after the 1960s，history shows that nature has always provided ideas on solving everyday problems．Our archives（档案） don't go back to the time of Leonardo da Vinci and his bird-like flying machines，but we can take you to the late 19th century，where we applied those same principles for building our first practical airplanes．
To prepare for their flight at Kitty Hawk，the Wright brothers studied the movements of pigeons to figure out how they stayed high up when they were heavier than air．Their success inspired scores of successors to improve on the airplane by studying various aspects of nature．One of Orville Wright's pupils caught and stuffed seagulls to examine their wingspan．Meanwhile，two French inventors examined spinning sycamore（梧桐） seeds in an effort to apply those same motions，reversed，to a helicopter．
Some examples are more obvious than others．The outside of the airplane designed by the Wright brothers looks like a minimalistic（简单抽象艺术） structure．On the other hand，Barney Connett's fish submarine actually looks like a fish．
Some bio-inspired concepts have yet to be invented．In the 1960s，the US Army commissioned several university professors to conduct research on the motor skills animals in hope of applying those same abilities to tanks．Tanks that run like horses or jump like grasshoppers（蚂蚱）-sounds shocking，doesn't it？But imagine how life would change if we could achieve that．
