　　Visualization.

　　想象。

　　Whenever I feel like giving up, I visualize my dream materializing in front of me.

　　當(dāng)我想要放棄的時(shí)候，我都會(huì)想像自己夢(mèng)想成真。

　　I imagine I am standing right there looking at my dream vacation place, or spinning the chair at my favorite company, or eating my favorite mom-made dish, or driving that one car I've always wanted. I close my eyes and imagine myself doing what I want to do. I make-believe, like a kid.

　　我會(huì)想像自己站在夢(mèng)想的度假勝地，或者在我最愛(ài)的公司里面上班，或者正在品嘗麻麻做的菜，或者開(kāi)著我一度想要的車。我閉上眼睛，想像自己此刻正在做著一切我想做的。我像個(gè)孩子一樣做白日夢(mèng)。

　　This gives me a head start and a much-needed motivation straightaway. But then, you've got to work for your goal too! You cannot just go watch a movie after that!

　　想這樣想讓我感覺(jué)有了全新的開(kāi)始，給我很大的鼓勵(lì)。但是在那之后，你應(yīng)該重新朝著目標(biāo)前進(jìn)，而不是去看場(chǎng)電影。

　　I make a pros and cons list.

　　我會(huì)列一份利弊清單。

　　I often feel the need to give up. I often feel that it's not worth doing whatever it is that I'm doing, especially if I'm not getting any results.

　　我經(jīng)常想要放棄。我經(jīng)常認(rèn)為我所做的并不值得繼續(xù)下去，尤其是在我沒(méi)有得到任何實(shí)質(zhì)性成果時(shí)。

　　During that time, I make a pros and cons list, the pros usually outweigh the cons, which instantly motivates me.

　　在此刻，我就會(huì)列出利弊清單，利通常大于弊，這可以激勵(lì)我繼續(xù)前進(jìn)。
