1、The first step to getting anywhere is to decide where you want to go.
到達任何地方的第一步是:明確你的目的地
2、Without being translated into goals,our desire remain just that——things we wish would happen.
渴望若沒有變成目標,它仍舊是那些我們希望發生,但實際并未發生的事
3、Don't do you best. In the absence of a specific goal,do your best somewhat ironically tends to produce work that is far from the best ——it's a recipe for mediocrity.
別嚷嚷著做到最好。當缺乏具體的目標,你的那些為"做到最好"的行動無疑將會與“最好”背道而馳
4、Setting specific,challenging goals creates a cycle of success and happiness that can repeat itself over and over again.
設置具體的、具有挑戰性的目標會讓你進入一個良性循環:能夠獲得源源不斷的成功和幸福
5、Since both the "big picture" why and "nitty-gritty" what modes of thinking have their advantages and disvantages,the best strategy is to shift your thinking style to match the goal you want to achieve.
既然從更有意義的為什么到具體細節的做什么的思維模式各有千秋,最好的策略當然是到什么山頭唱什么歌,把將要的達成目標同思維模式相互匹配。
6、Knowing how your thinking may be affected by time——by whether you are deciding about the near to distant future——is crucial if you want to compensate for your natural bias and make the best possible decision.
了解你的思維可能會被時間影響,不論你在決策時考慮近期或遠期未來,這對于想要彌補偏見的你以及做出可能的最優決策都是至關重要的。
7、Big-picture ,why thinking about your goal is most helpful for getting you motivated and energized, focusing you on the rewards you can gain,and encouraging self-control and persistence.
從整體上的為什么式思考模式有助于你在達成目標過程中:保持積極向上與活力四射,聚焦于你可以獲得的獎勵以及促進自控力與堅持不懈。
8、Nitty-gritty,what thinking will benefit you most when your goals involves doing something difficult or unfamiliar, focusing you on the practical details of getting the job done, and helping you to aviod procrastination.
從細節上的做什么式思考模式有助于你在達成目標過程中:嘗試困難或者不熟悉的事,聚焦于有助于完成工作的小細節,同時能讓你遠離拖延。
9、Believing you will succeed really does make you more likely to succeed.
篤信你能成功會讓你更可能取得成功
10、No matter who they are and what they are trying to do,we find that successful people not only have confidence that they will eventually succeed, but are equally confident that they will have a tough time getting there.
不論他們是誰也不論他們嘗試做些什么,那些成功人士不僅對自己終將成功充滿信心,而且也明白在那之前還有一段很難的路要走。(想想從戰略上藐視敵人,從戰術上重視敵人,貌似有點像)
11、The optimal strategy use when setting a goal seems to be to think positively about how it will be when achieve your goal,while thinking realistically about what it will take to get there.
當你用積極思維去設定目標時:最好的策略是你不僅想象達成目標后的情景,同時考慮實際情況,需要做什么才能達成目標。(考慮目標對你的激勵以及你自己成功可能性)
12、 By contrasting the things you have to gain with the obstacles standing in your way, you should now have a better sense of how likely you are to succeed, and how committed you are to that success.
通過對比你實現目標過程中將會獲得的以及你會遇到的困難,你應該可以更好把握自己成功的可能性,以及你對那份成功執著。
