What is the reason to study English?

What is the reason for one to study English? We all have different reasons for learning a language. Business, travelling, watching movies, communication in general, listening to music are a few common situations. Once we identify the reason, we can then pursue (follow) our objective (target). How do we reach our target? By making maximum effort on a daily basis (everyday). Some people say I don't have time to study everyday, but the key is to make it part of your regular daily routine, just like brushing your teeth. When we make learning part of our daily life, we will see results as we move towards our target.
