為目標(biāo)奮斗前要回答的10個問題

　　要想弄清自己的目標(biāo)，必須先回答下面的10個問題。

　　1.Are They Written Down?

　　它們有沒有寫下來?

　　Writing your goals down is a magical act. It makes them real. It clarifies them, and helps bring definition and accountability to them。

　　把你的目標(biāo)寫下來是一種很神奇的行為。它能讓目標(biāo)成真。它能讓目標(biāo)更加清晰，并有助于明確目標(biāo)的含義和相應(yīng)的責(zé)任。

　　2.Are They Your goals?

　　它們是你的目標(biāo)嗎?

　　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?

　　在你追尋它們之前，確保它們是你真正想要的目標(biāo)。它們是你的家人所希望你能達到的目標(biāo)嗎?還是工作、社會導(dǎo)致你想達到的目標(biāo)?

　　3.Do They Have a Deadline?

　　它們有最后期限嗎?

　　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.)

　　沒有期限的目標(biāo)就像沒有終點的比賽。你需要一個終點來定義目標(biāo)及實現(xiàn)目標(biāo)的時間。(你以后還可以調(diào)整，詳見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。

　　每個目標(biāo)都需要付出，無論是時間、金錢還是汗水。確保你愿意付出代價來實現(xiàn)目標(biāo)。

　　5.What Help Will You Need to Accomplish Your Goals?

　　你需要什么幫你實現(xiàn)目標(biāo)?

　　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。

　　真正偉大的目標(biāo)需要我們超越自我。每個成功的人士都會向他人學(xué)習(xí)。提前計劃一下自己如何能得到所需的幫助。

　　6.Are You Focused on Your Goal?

　　你能不能專注于自己的目標(biāo)?

　　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。

　　很多人的目標(biāo)都沒有重點?；蛘?，他們同時設(shè)定了太多的目標(biāo)。你必須把注意力集中在最主要的目標(biāo)上。這個目標(biāo)在你的生活中必須是非常重要的。你需要經(jīng)常關(guān)注它。

　　7.Are Your Goals Adaptable?

　　你的目標(biāo)能否適應(yīng)變化?

　　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。

　　生活在不斷變化，你無法控制。所以你的目標(biāo)也必須能夠適應(yīng)變化。當(dāng)然，你不能一遇到困難就把它當(dāng)做借口。當(dāng)你的生活軌跡發(fā)生變化時，能適應(yīng)變化的目標(biāo)會跟著發(fā)生變化，而不是放棄。

　　8.Do Your Goals Stretch Your Limits?

　　你的目標(biāo)能不能挑戰(zhàn)你的極限?

　　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 capabilities and limits are reached。

　　如果你的目標(biāo)是做自己已經(jīng)做過的事，那你還是會得到相同的結(jié)果。你的目標(biāo)應(yīng)該能夠挑戰(zhàn)自己的極限。 這樣你才會獲得新的能力，達到新的極限。

　　9.Do Believe in Your Goals?

　　你相不相信自己的目標(biāo)?

　　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標(biāo)。批評和疑惑是肯定會有的，還有人想看你失敗。不要聽他們的。傾聽驅(qū)使你前進的內(nèi)心聲音。

　　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。

　　你必須每天都要為目標(biāo)努力。它不是一個可選活動。如果你真的下定決心并集中注意力去實現(xiàn)目標(biāo)，那你每天不僅僅要去思考，還要去實踐。
