目标重在实践Goals Only Work When You Do
英语短文赏析：几乎每个人都为新的一年制定了工作或学习目标,然而又有多少人真正将其变成了现实？我们又该如何制定一个切实可行的目标呢？本文以幽默诙谐的语言为我们的行动指明了方向。
People often make resolutions at the beginning of the New Year. They work hard at them for a few weeks, maybe even a few months, and then forget about them. The next year, they make the same New Year’s resolutions. Why?
新年开始,人们总少不了要制定目标。人们为此颇动了一番脑筋,耗时几个星期,甚至可能几个月,可随后就忘个精光。第二年他们又如法炮制了同样的目标。这是为什么呢？或许他们设定的目标太不合实际了,然而,这并不是说,他们的目标就不值得一提。而是要将这些目标细致化、具体化,也不能太理想化。
They may be making goals that are too unrealistic1. That is not to say that they are not worthy goals. They need to be broken into smaller, more specific, and more attainable pieces. You probably know the joke. How do you eat an elephant? One spoonful at a time. It is the same with goals. Make spoon-size goals and achieve them easily. When you’ve mastered this, get a bigger spoon!
你大概听过这个笑话吧。怎样才能吞食一头大象呢？当然是一次吃一口了。设定目标也是这样。目标设小一些,就容易实现。当你掌握了小的目标,再来设大点的目标吧！
You may have filled your timetable with so many things that there is little room for your goals to grow. duanwenw.comBe careful about how you use your time and what you focus on. Success often comes when you know what to leave out, rather than what to include in your life. Notice, too, how much time you spend on small things. Have you ever just "had" to clean your office before you could begin your project? Then you know how this works!
也许你的时间表早已排满,无法再实现新的目标了。那么,你可得留心时间的使用和计划的重点了。成功的诀窍在于懂得一生中你该放弃什么,而不是该纳入什么。切忌让鸡毛蒜皮的琐事耗费了你的时间。在实施你的目标之前,你是否曾经"必须"去清理你的办公室呢？那么,你熟谙此道了！
Goal setting is like the pig and the chicken who went out for a walk in the town. The chicken became excited when she saw a sign that said "Pork & Eggs, $2.99". She said to the pig, "We’ve got double billing again." The pig said, "For you, it’s all in a day’s work. For me, it’s total commitment2."Goal setting is all in a day’s work. Goal achievement is total commitment.
设定目标有如结伴到镇上转悠的猪和鸡。鸡瞧见写着"猪肉和鸡蛋,2.99美元"的招牌时激动不已,她对猪说:"我们的身价又涨了一倍呢！"猪说:"下几个蛋对你来说只是一天的功夫；而这肉对于我,可是全身心地投入啊。"设定目标只是一天的功夫,而实现目标就需要全身心地投入了。
