那些沒有堅持規律生活方式的人不知道他們那樣做是為了什麼,他們沒有目標,對於最終的結果也一無所知。
Just like the marshmallow test, if you haven’t linked in your mind the better result coming in the future… you』ll most likely take the easy option now, rather than wait or sacrifice for the better option later. You must have clear goals and deadlines.
就像棉花糖實驗,如果你大腦中無法想到未來更好的結果,你很可能就會選擇當下簡單的選項,而不是做出犧牲,等待隨後而來的更好的結果。你必須要有清晰的目標並設置最後期限。
Back to the diet example: If you have a clear target weight, body fat percentage, or body image that you must reach within 12 weeks, you will be far more likely to stick to your diet, than someone who has no specific target or goal.
回到那個節食減肥的例子,如果有明確的目標體重、體脂率和自我形象,並明確要求自己12周之內達到目標,那麼相對那些沒有特定目標的人,你堅持節食的成功率就會大大提升。
Imagine two people who need to arrive at the same destination. One has a navigation system, and their destination is locked in. The other has no idea where they are or where they are going… common sense can answer who will arrive at their destination first… or at all.
想像一下,兩個人都需要到達同一個目的地。一個人有導航系統,而且鎖定了他們的目的地。而另一個人不知道自己身處何方,也不知道去往何處。稍有常識的人就會知道誰會更早到達目的地,另一個人可能永遠都到不了…
Having clear goals is no different! Without clear direction, you will end up in the wrong section!
擁有清晰的目標就像有了導航系統一樣。沒有確切的方向,你最終會走入歧途。
Successful people are always focused on the end result. They start at the end and figure out how to get there from where they are. Unsuccessful people focus on where they are and how hard it is right now…They never understand that their life will continue to be hard unless they change their approach.
成功人士總是會鎖定最終結果。他們以終為始,並弄清楚自己如何從目前的位置到達最終目標。而那些沒有成功的人則往往只是關注自己當下的位置以及面臨的種種困難。除非他們改變自己處事方法,否則他們的生活將會一直困難下去,但這些人從來不會想到這些。
Set your goals. Make them clear. Make them meaningful. Give them deadlines.
設定你的目標吧!讓它們清晰明確,並賦予其意義,同時再設定一個截止期限。
