Although the three terms are typically used interchangeably in
regular discourse, the main difference among the three is how they
are set, what they will be used for, and what purpose they will serve
in the end. "You aim to accomplish a goal in order to achieve your
objective"

Differences BetweenAims, Goals & Objectives
ims, goals and objectives help to influence dreams to work out as expected in any case,
albeit interrelated, there are refinements between them. Points identify with the final
products yet objectives and goals help accomplish these outcomes. Objectives are
unique, while goals are more substantial and cement.

Aims
Aims tend to be more general than goals and objectives, because the latter terms relate to more
specific tasks, while aims refer to the end results. A history teacher, for example, might aim to
give his students a comprehensive overview of Lahore history, while an immediate goal might be
to educate them about events leading up to the Lahore historical view. Aims aren’t necessarily
accompanied by goals and objectives, particularly if someone stating an aim doesn’t follow
through with it. Someone might state that she aims to be a successful entrepreneur, for example,
without setting the goals and objectives that would enable her to achieve this.
Goals
Objectives are clear proclamations of aim and are more particular than points. An organization,
for instance, may have a general plan to expand benefits and, keeping in mind the end goal to
accomplish this, set an unmistakable objective to build benefits by 25 percent inside a particular
time allotment.
Objectives
Objectives are the activities carried out to bring aims and goals to fruition. Someone whose
overall goal is to get a more rewarding job, for example, would have a set of objectives that help
him to achieve this. Such objectives might include sending letters out to companies he wants to
work for, brushing up on interview techniques and learning skills or obtaining qualifications that
would increase his employment prospects.
Connections
ims, goals and objectives are linked because all three concern future intentions and all
three must be set in motion if plans are to have a realistic chance of succeeding.
Someone who sets a goal is unlikely to carry it out if she doesn’t plan and implement
the necessary practical objectives that will help her to achieve her goal.
