Do you have a big goal for the next year – or perhaps a three-year or five-year plan? You might have a whole bunch of goals, even if you don't call them that – perhaps ranging through things like: 新的一年即将来临,你有什么伟大的计划没?或是“三年飞跃”、“五年计划”之类的规划?你可能有着一大箩筐的目标等着实现,虽然你压根儿没有把它们当回事儿。 Lose weight 减肥 Make lots of money 赚钱 Get a promotion 升职 Study for a new qualification 进修 Stop reading for a moment, and think about some of the goals that are currently lodged in your mind – they might be things you've told yourself you "should" do, but you've not made much progress on them. You may want to write them down. 停!想一想,你现在脑子里忽闪而过的目标有哪些?这些目标也许你到目前为止还没什么进展可言,但你始终这样告戒自己:这些都是我“应该”要去实现的目标。不妨把它们写下来看看吧。 Whose goals are these? 这些目标究竟是谁的呀? Perhaps that seems like a stupid question: obviously, they're your goals ... aren't they? 这么问也许听上去很可笑是吧?你的目标很明显是“你的”嘛!果真如此吗? Unfortunately, there's a fair chance that some of "your" goals aren't really yours at all. They might belong to your parents, your friends, or even your society as a whole. |
