Once upon a time I had to hold my phone on my hand as I was carrying an additional dishes on my hands as I was returning from kitchen to my room. As I tried to open it, suddenly this phone slipped from my hand as I wasn’t holding its skin that sticked to my phone. I accidentally took it before folding it and there was nothing to protect my phone and its glass scattered all around my doorstep. And then I set a clear goal to purchase a new model. Even though I had replaced its screen with a new one, I still had this goal because its screen was glitching and it wasn’t working properly because each time when I was swiping with my finger my screen was directing lately and as a lover of the online games I hate to have a ping especially when I’m clicking the button on my screen or interacting with my screen and each time I was losing with having this screen because I couldn’t afford myself to obtain a new phone right away due to lack of the money and I had insufficient amount of balance in my credit card as well and then I decided to work and I also changed my routing and suddenly I managed to make the sufficient amount of money that was enough to purchase a new brand version. I wasn’t expecting to achieve this goal so soon but suddenly I woke up with my right side I think and I managed to somehow obtain a new version of this which I’m currently using and I’ve satisfied that I set such a clear goal towards myself, that I have already achieved.

Once upon a time, I had to hold my phone in my hand while carrying additional dishes as I returned from the kitchen to my room. As I tried to open it, suddenly the phone slipped from my hand because I wasn't holding the case that stuck to my phone. I accidentally dropped it before folding it, and there was nothing to protect my phone, causing its glass to scatter all around my doorstep. Then I set a clear goal to purchase a new model. Even though I had replaced the screen with a new one, I still had this goal because the screen was glitching and not working properly. Each time I swiped with my finger, the screen was responding late, and as a lover of online games, I hate to have lag, especially when I'm clicking buttons or interacting with my screen. I kept losing because of this screen, and I couldn't afford to buy a new phone right away due to a lack of money and insufficient balance on my credit card. So, I decided to work, and I also changed my routine. Suddenly, I managed to make enough money to purchase a new version. I wasn't expecting to achieve this goal so soon, but one day I woke up and managed to obtain a new version of the phone, which I'm currently using. I'm satisfied that I set such a clear goal for myself and that I have already achieved it.
