(单词翻译:单击)

  You say you have goals. Can you show them to me? Are they written down with clear deadlines? Or are your goals vague. Things that you hope to do someday.
  你说自己有目标。能把目标给我看看吗?有没有给目标设定明确的截止期限并写下来?你的目标模糊吗?你的目标是不是希望某天要做的事情?
  Having goals is an important exercise in making progress in life. Goals drive you to greater heights than you thought possible. Some choose to live without goals and simply go where life takes them. However, if you want to make your own path you must define your goals.
  设定目标是在生活中成长的一项重要练习。目标能让你达到比想象中更高的高度。有些人选择没有目标的生活,他们随遇而安。然而,如果你想走自己的路,你就必须定义自己的目标。
  Here are 10 questions you must answer to clarify your own goals.
  要想弄清自己的目标,必须先回答下面的10个问题。
  1.Are They Written Down?
  它们有没有写下来?
  Writing your goals down is a magical act. It makes them real. It clarifies them, and helps bring definition and accountability to them.
  把你的目标写下来是一种很神奇的行为。它能让目标成真。它能让目标更加清晰,并有助于明确目标的含义和相应的责任。
  2.Are They Your goals?
  它们是你的目标吗?
  Before you pursue them, make sure that your goals are truly your own. Or are they goals that have been put upon you by expectations of your family, job, or society?
  在你追寻它们之前,确保它们是你真正想要的目标。它们是你的家人所希望你能达到的目标吗?还是工作、社会导致你想达到的目标?
  3.Do They Have a Deadline?
  它们有最后期限吗?
  Goals without deadlines are like a race without an end. You need a finish line to define your goal and when you will accomplish it by. (You can always adjust later… see #7.)没有期限的目标就像没有终点的比赛。你需要一个终点来定义目标及实现目标的时间。(你以后还可以调整,详见7)4.What is the Cost and Are you Willing to Pay It?
  你需要付出什么?你想不想付出?
  Every goal has a cost. Whether it is time, money, or sweat. Make sure you are willing to pay the price to achieve your goal.
  每个目标都需要付出,无论是时间、金钱还是汗水。确保你愿意付出代价来实现目标。
  5.What Help Will You Need to Accomplish Your Goals?
  你需要什么帮你实现目标?
  Truly great goals require us to go beyond ourselves. Every successful person learned from someone else. Plan in advance how you will get the assistance you need.
  真正伟大的目标需要我们超越自我。每个成功的人士都会向他人学习。提前计划一下自己如何能得到所需的帮助。
  6.Are You Focused on Your Goal?
  你能不能专注于自己的目标?
  Many people fall into the trap of unfocused goals. Or perhaps, they have too many goals at once. You must have laser focus on your big goal. It must be front-and-center in your life. It must get constant attention.
  很多人的目标都没有重点。或者,他们同时设定了太多的目标。你必须把注意力集中在最主要的目标上。这个目标在你的生活中必须是非常重要的。你需要经常关注它。
  7.Are Your Goals Adaptable1?
  你的目标能否适应变化?
  Life changes. You can’t control that. So, your goals must be adaptable. This is not to be used as an excuse at the first sign of difficulty. Adaptable goals change, instead of break, when life throws you a curve.
  生活在不断变化,你无法控制。所以你的目标也必须能够适应变化。当然,你不能一遇到困难就把它当做借口。当你的生活轨迹发生变化时,能适应变化的目标会跟着发生变化,而不是放弃。
  8.Do Your Goals Stretch Your Limits?
  你的目标能不能挑战你的极限?
  If your goal is to do something that you have already done before, then you will get the same results. Your goals should stretch your abilities. That is how new capabilities2 and limits are reached.
  如果你的目标是做自己已经做过的事,那你还是会得到相同的结果。你的目标应该能够挑战自己的极限。 这样你才会获得新的能力,达到新的极限。
  9.Do Believe in Your Goals?
  你相不相信自己的目标?
  More than anyone else, you have to believe in your goals. There will be critics, doubters, and people who want to see you fail. Don’t listen to them. Listen to the inner voice that drives you.
  你得比任何人更要相信自己的目标。批评和疑惑是肯定会有的,还有人想看你失败。不要听他们的。倾听驱使你前进的内心声音。
  10.What Did You Do Today?
  你今天做了什么事情?
  You must act on your goals every single day. It is not an optional activity. If you truly have the determination and focus to reach your goals, you will not only think, but act on them every single day.
  你必须每天都要为目标努力。它不是一个可选活动。如果你真的下定决心并集中注意力去实现目标,那你每天不仅仅要去思考,还要去实践。
