Explanation

Aim means what you want to do or achieve. It is the goal you are trying to reach. People aim for different things—like passing an exam, getting a job, or helping others. You can also aim a tool or object, like aiming a ball at a basket. So, it can mean both a goal and the action of pointing something. Having a clear aim helps you stay focused and work harder.
