difference between goal, aim and objective

• Goal is long- term, aim is short- term and objective is why you want to achieve them.

• A goal is what you want to get. E.g. I want to be slimmer so that I can buy loads of fab new clothes! 
  
  An aim is your general idea of how you'll get it! E.g. To become slimmer by doing more exercise. 
  
  An Objective is your exact idea/step by step plan of how you'll achieve your goal. E.g. To lose 7lb by Friday 29th September by making the following changes: walking up the stairs instead of running once a day, going for a 30 minute walk everyday, only eating 1 bag of crisps per day etc for the next 3 weeks. 

• First you have your objective, then you aim, shoot and you will have your goal. e.g see a girl, really like, set your objective. Aim, sent her flowers, first kiss and bring her to a hotel. Objective, to have a stable family and raise kids

• Goal: 
  1. something that you hope to achive in future; AIM 
  (but also has 2 more meanings) 
  
  Aim: 
  1. what you are hoping to achieve by a plan, action or activity 
  (but, also 2 more meanings, and the verb aim) 
  
  Objective: 
  1. an aim that you are trying to achieve, espsecially in business or politics 
  (and one more meaning and adjective) 

• A goal scores points at football 
  An aim is a try for a goal, whether you succeed or not 
  An objective is to try to aim to score a goal

difference between aim and goal

• A goal is something you work toward, a long-term set-point of what you want to accomplish.
  An aim is a focal(фокустай) point, something to keep your eye on for now.
  
  So you could aim to be perfect in an exam but your real goal is to graduate from school.

• Goal is more broad than aim, aim is more specific. you nomally need to achieve several aims to reach the goal. Am I right? 
  
  Goal is the purpose toward which an endeavor is directed; an objective. 
  Aim more mean to direct toward an intended goal.“to turn something in the direction of an intended goal or target''. 

• A goal is a target or a desired result. 
  The aim is the process of orienting yourself and your actions towards a goal or an ambition.
  
  An aim is like a relatively long term plan of action. When you aim, you try to see the bigger picture. 
  
  The goal is the final point or level to reach at, and doing so in a sense brings closure to the aim that you had some time ago. 
  
  Often, goals form subsets of the aim itself. Let’s say you’re fascinated by hybrid cars and want to come up with one yourself. Your aim then becomes to get to see your ideas up and running on the roads. How do you go about it? You set yourself small goals, carefully thought out to achieve the said aim. These goals can be designing the engine, selecting the fuel, designing the car itself and so on. Each and every component once completed forms the whole, and the job is done.
  
  Goals can thus form stepping stones which then come together to make up a stairway that finally leads to the aim.

difference between target, aim, goal, purpose

• goal is the point/place you wish to achieve...like the goal is to climb 100 feet...then anything 100 feet or over is your goal...you can surpass/exceed it 
  
  target is the exact goal...100 feet is the target 
  
  aim is the direction/action you take to get to the goal/target 
  
  purpose is the reason you aim to achieve that target or goal 
  
  so "the target of this idea" does not work...you could use "the objective of this idea"

• "Purpose" is the most general of the terms, and can be used to substitute the rest of the words almost all the time. 
  
  "Target" involves a goal designated in detail, a specific end to achieve. 
  
  "Goal" and "aim" are almost the same to me. They appear to describe the purposes of a certain plan or project.

• Two can be used synonymously. 
  
  "The goal of this statement..." 
  "The aim of this statement..." 
  
  They CAN be used for the same meaning, but the other two mean various things. Target is to whom the speech, message, etc. is directed. Aim can be used in close relation to target. The purpose is why you are making the speech. It is quite close to goal and aim but conveyed by readers in the differnet ways

• Goal = is the achievement or task you set out to do 
  
  aim = how do you aim to achieve this 
  
  purpose = why do you want to do this 
  
  target = when will you achieve this by
