As part of my desire to continue learning and growing,  生活英语听力文章：回答10个问题测试你的梦想由于我渴望继续学习和成长，

I attended a leadership event this past weekend hosted by Bob Burg and Paul Martinelli featuring three of my favorite teachers, Les Brown, Bob Burg and Dr. John C. Maxwell. 上周我参加了由Burg and Paul Martinelli主持的和我最喜欢的三个老师 Les Brown, Bob Burg and Dr. John C. Maxwell主讲的领导力课程。

Dr. Maxwell (internationally respected leadership expert, speaker, and author) gave an insightful presentation on his book, Put Your Dream to the Test. Maxwell博士(国际上很受尊重的领导力专家，演说家，作家)在他的书中给出了一个不可见的存在感，就是把梦想放进这个测试里。

 He said, “The more valid reasons you have for achieving your dreams, the greater your odds will be of achieving them.” 他说，你想实现梦想的有效地原因越多，你实现梦想的可能性就越大。

He highlighted 10 important questions you MUST answer to test your dreams. 他强调了梦想测试里10个你一定要回答的10个很重要的问题。

Are you ready to take the test? Pick ONE of your dreams. Got it? Now answer Maxwell’s 10 questions to determine if the odds are in your favor. 你准备好测试了吗?选一个梦想。明白了吗?现在回答 Maxwell博士的10个问题测试你胜的几率。

1. Is my dream really my dream? If you want to achieve your dream, you must “own” it. It must be yours, not your parents’, teachers’, or anyone else’s. 梦想真的是我的梦想吗?如果你想要实现梦想，你必须要拥有梦想。梦想一定是你的，而不是父母的，老师的或者其他人的。

 If the achievement of a dream is not of great importance to YOU, it’s unlikely that you will do what’s required to accomplish it. 如果实现梦想对你意义不大，你就不大可能去做那些实现梦想所需要做的事情。

2. Do I clearly see my dream? What does it look like? The more specific you are on what your dream looks like, the more likely you will be to achieve it. 你能清楚的看到梦想吗?他长什么样子?你对你的梦想看的越具体，实现他的可能性就越大。

 This is one of the reasons I encourage people to cut out images of their “big” goals and dreams, create a collage, and look at it regularly. 这是我鼓励人们去裁剪出他们的梦想，拼贴成画，并经常注视他的一个原因。

 At first you may only see a piece of your dream; but each day as you move closer, the clearer it will become. 可能刚开始你只看到你梦想的一部分，但是你每天走进一点，你的梦想也会变得清晰一点。

3. Am I depending on things within my control? This is when you have to be honest with yourself and determine if reaching your dream is within your control.  你所依赖的事情全在你的掌控中吗?你必须对自己诚实，明确实现梦想的过程是否在你的掌控中。

Are you depending on others? If so, who? Do you have the talent, skill or ability to make it come true? If not, can you develop what you are lacking? 你会依赖他人吗?如果有，是谁?你有天赋，技能或者能力让梦想成真吗?如果没有，你会培养你缺少的东西吗?

4. Do I have the energy to achieve it? This is the passion question. Think of your last great accomplishment. How much energy did it require of you? 你有精力去实现梦想吗?这是关乎激情的问题。回想下你上次的成功，

 Is your dream important enough to you that you will put forth the energy necessary over the time period required? 他花费了你多少精力?你的梦想对你足够重要到你优先把精力放在实现它的过程中吗?

5. Do I have a strategy? I see very few people who take the time to put together a “real” plan to reach their goals.  5.你有战略吗?我知道很少有人会为了梦想制定一个具体的计划，

I am often left in awe, wondering, “How do you think you can achieve your goal without putting together a plan?”  我经常会畏惧，想着“毫无规划你怎么就认为你会实现梦想呢?”

A plan outlines the things you must do in a prioritized sequence to achieve your desired outcome. 一个计划列举出了你想实现梦想必须要做的事情的优先顺序。
