Goal... you don't need photoreading to reach that goal but there will be quite a few books that you will read for the purpose of understanding the information so that I can...(e.g. fulfil XYZ requirement to be an astronaut)
Each book in photoreading would be how does reading this book help me?

Is that a goal or is that a purpose? Because if I want to go back further, I can press the human nature button and say "to get girls and make money". That's an effective purpose as well, though something that's probably not conducive to learning the system, I think.
To get girls and make money is also a goal.
How are you going to do that?
"I am going to read this book, so that I can... "
"I am going to do my homework, to learn, ABC so that I can..."
Goal = end result
Purpose = reason for doing something that ultimately leads to your goal.
