[00:09.56]习惯二：在思想上要以终为始。照字面意思来解就是在今天开始的时候，脑子里想一想你在生命终点的情景，
[00:15.91]as the criteria² by which you examine everything else in your life.
[00:18.04]以此作为参考框架、作为你检测其他事情的依据。

[00:38.01]你的脑海里浮现着这样的画面：看到自己驾车到葬礼上去，到达了，葬礼在教堂举行，你在后排坐下。
[00:44.09]And you come to a growing awareness⁴ that it is  your funeral,that it is you in that casket ,three years from now.
[00:49.28]你渐渐地想到自己的葬礼，三年之后，躺在那棺材里的人会是你。
[00:54.47]There are four speakers,The place is packed.And there's a great feeling of love,appreciation,and resonating value of this person,your life.

[03:55.21]you will come to detect the most fundamental principles that pertain⁸ to your life.And you can distill⁹ them in the form of a mission statement or a value system or a purpose statement;
[04:01.79]你就能找到适合你一生的最基本原则。你就可以从行动计划，或价值体系，或目标计划——
