3. What you are willing to sacrifice for your goals.

为了目标，你愿意牺牲什么?

When it comes to goal setting, you must be specific. If you find yourself talking to yourself about wanting everything, it means you are treacherously close to achieving nothing. It means you are avoiding the effort required to get anywhere at all.

目标制定必须详细。如果你这也想要那也想要，很可能会一无所获。因为你只想成果而不愿为特定目标付诸切实努力。

Usually, it’s not too difficult to decide what you want your life to look like in a year from now. What is difficult is figuring out what you’re willing to give up in order to do the things that must be done to get to where you want to go.

通常一年内的目标并不难决定，难的是为了实现目标而甘心作出放弃。

This takes serious commitment, and it requires transient discomfort. When you decide to aim for something higher, you must be willing to suffer a bit of vertigo – the fear of falling. And you must be willing to fight against that voice of emptiness below you which tempts and lures you to believe that you don’t have enough strength to ascend any higher.

你需要全力以赴，还得忍受暂时的苦痛。目标越高，担心失败的困扰也越多。而你则必须战胜内心那个不断引诱你的消极思维，说什么你根本没有足够的能力更上一层楼。

The Making Of Ancestors

In one classroom, a teacher was explaining to the class that their ancestors were Adam and Eve. A little child raised his hand and said, "My father taught me differently.

The teacher asked, "What?

The little child answered," My father said that our ancestors were monkeys.

And the teacher replied, "That's your family's business.It has nothing to do with us.

祖先不同

课室里女老师告诉同学们：「我们老爹、老娘的祖先是亚当和夏娃。」

一位小男生举手发言：「跟我爸爸说的不一样。」女老师：「他怎么说？」

小男生：「我爸爸说我们的祖先是猴子。」

女老师：「那是你们家的事，跟我们无关…。」
