aims
Points at target
Aims are goals or purposes—what someone intends to accomplish.
The aims of an organization state what it hopes to achieve: The committee outlined its aims for the coming year.
To aim is to point toward a target, literally with a weapon or figuratively with effort: She aimed for the top of her class.
To take aim is to prepare to shoot or criticize.
