這次作業(yè)我遭遇了巨大的障礙，竟然到最后時刻都不知道要寫什么，一方面我給自己定的寫作原則是：

1. 完整 - 沒有開始正式寫作以前也會時常寫一些碎碎念的文字，東一榔頭西一棒槌，每個問題都有講但都講不清楚，于是明確主題且有完整結(jié)構(gòu)是我認為一篇文章所要達到的基礎(chǔ)；

2. 對別人有用 - 毋庸置疑，這是最樸素也是最重要的原則；

另一方面，我意識到我面臨的又一個重大問題：我竟然一直沒有養(yǎng)成讀書的習慣！

沒有有效輸入哪來高質(zhì)量的輸出呢？！

一個事實參加新生大學，除了《把時間當成朋友》、《七年》兩本書以外的必讀書籍都沒讀完，訂閱的兩個得到專欄后期基本都荒廢了，每天會聽但是沒有思考和復盤學過的東西也很快就忘記了。。

今天我想從我的第一本原版書《Succeed：How to reach our goals》正式開啟讀書的習慣，這本書跟著樂樂老師看了學了3章，自己后來又看了3章，后來就沒有再打開。。下面是我通過翻譯第一章后面的總結(jié)進行一下復盤學習。這本書的英語算是比較易讀，鑒于英語水平問題，翻譯的不好，還望指正。

1. Be specific.

When you set yourself a goal, try to be as specific as possible. “Lose five pounds” is a better goal than “l(fā)ose some weight,” because it gives you a clear idea of what success looks like. Knowing exactly what you want to achieve keeps you motivated until you get there. Avoid “do your best” goals—they are too vague to be really motivating.

當你給自己設(shè)定目標的時候，越具體越好。“減掉5磅肉”優(yōu)于“減掉一些體重”，因為你有一個清晰的目標。清楚地知道你想要什么能激發(fā)你持續(xù)的動力直到實現(xiàn)那個目標。盡力而為的目標太模糊不能給你真正的動力。

2.?Make it hard.

It’s also important when you set goals to make them?difficult, while still being?realistic. You want to challenge yourself and set the bar high, because challenges really get the motivational juices flowing, while avoiding goals that are more or less impossible. Remember that if you set the bar too low, you may achieve your goal but are unlikely to surpass it—most people tend to slack off once they’ve reached their original target. Nobody sets out with the goal of losing five pounds and ends up somehow losing twenty.

設(shè)定一個困難但可以實現(xiàn)的目標是很重要的。你想挑戰(zhàn)自己把目標設(shè)置的高一些，做有挑戰(zhàn)的事更能激發(fā)你的動力，但是要避免目標可能不能完成。記住你可以實現(xiàn)太低的目標但是幾乎是不可能超越它的，大多數(shù)傾向于一旦實現(xiàn)原來的目標就松弛下來。沒有人設(shè)置減掉5磅的目標最后減掉了20磅。

3.?Think?why?or?what.

Goals can be thought of in relatively abstract, why-am-I-doing-this terms or in more concrete, what-am-I-actually-doing terms. For example, dealing with the mess in your closets can be thought of as “getting organized” (why) or “throwing out clothes I never wear” (what). Think about your goals in why terms when you want to get energized, stay motivated, or avoid temptations. Think about your goals in what terms when you are dealing with something particularly difficult, unfamiliar, or anything that takes a long time to learn.

目標可以相對抽象使用“為什么我要做這件事”的句式或者更具體，使用“我實際上做什么”。例如，處理衣柜里的東西，設(shè)定“有條理”的why目標或者“扔掉那些永遠不穿的衣服”的what目標。思考你的目標使用why的表達如：獲得充沛的精力，保持動力避免誘惑。思考你的目標使用what表達當你處理一些特別難，不熟悉或者需要花費很長時間學習的事情。

4.?Consider value?and?feasibility.

Remember that we all tend to think more in?why?terms when contemplating our goals in the distant future. This leads us to give more weight to what’s desirable or valuable about the goal (like how much fun a trip to Disneyland would be) and too little weight to how feasible it is (as in, “How the heck am I going to afford this trip to Disneyland?”). In the near future, we naturally think in?what?terms, which can lead to too much emphasis on being practical and not enough emphasis on enjoying what life has to offer. The best goals will usually be the ones you’ve adopted after weighing both desirability and feasibility in an unbiased way.

記住我們習慣使用why表達當關(guān)注遙遠的目標。這導致我們更看重那些理想的有價值的目標（比如去Disneyland將是多么開心的旅程）而不看重目標的可行性（如，多糟糕我要為這次旅行負擔那么多）。在不久的將來，我自然而然的使用what表達思考我們更強調(diào)實際情況而對生活給予我們的歡樂不夠重視。采納通過無偏見的權(quán)衡理想和可行性的目標才是最好的目標。

5.?Think positive but don’t underestimate.

When you’re setting a goal, by all means engage in lots of positive thinking about how likely you are to achieve it. Believing in your ability to succeed is enormously helpful for creating and sustaining your motivation. But whatever you do,?don’t underestimate how difficult it will be to reach your goal. Most goals worth achieving require time, planning, effort, and persistence. Thinking things will come to you easily and effortlessly will leave you ill prepared for the journey ahead, and as a result can be a recipe for failure.

當你設(shè)定一個目標，通過所有方法積極的思考如何實現(xiàn)它。相信你獲得成功的能力是對產(chǎn)生和維持動力有巨大的幫助。但是不管怎么樣，不要低估為了達到目標中的困難。大多數(shù)的目標需要時間，努力和堅持。認為事情比較容易且缺乏努力會導致你不能很好的準備前面的行程，結(jié)果以失敗告終。

6.?Use mental contrasting to set your goals.

When you are thinking about taking on a new goal, make sure you think about?both?the wonderful things that will happen if you succeed?and?the obstacles that stand in your way. This process of?mental contrasting?will not only help you to make a good decision about whether or not to adopt the goal, but it will naturally engage your motivational systems and maximize your commitment to the goals that you do decide to achieve.

當你想設(shè)定一個新的目標，確保你不光想到事情成功后會有好的事情發(fā)生，而且考慮到遇到的障礙。心里對比的過程不僅幫助你在是否采用這個目標做決定，而且自然地激發(fā)你的動力最大化你的承諾對你決定要實現(xiàn)的目標。
