成功达到目标,实现梦想的四个步骤

Steps to Achieve Your Goals and Your Vision
达到目标，实现梦想的步骤
Overall, the steps to make achievements in all facets of your life are fourfold:
总体来说，能让我们达成人生中各个目标的步骤只有以下四个：
1. Think big. This is the stage of dreams, imagination and visualization.
1 大胆的想象。这是梦想，想象力可视化的第一个步骤，大胆的去想象。
2. Specify the details of every little action you must do to succeed. This is the stage of the action plan, which helps you to manage every effort to achieve real results.
2 明晰通往成功你所要做的各个细节。实施计划能助你通过每一个微小的努力实现真实目标
3. Start quickly. This is the stage of action, without which nothing happens.
3 马上行动。付诸行动，否则，我们一事无成。
4. Continue each day. This is the stage of perseverance, which helps you learn from your failures and overcome challenges.
4 每天坚持。坚持不懈能帮助我们吸取教训，战胜困难。
Don’t you think that these steps are simple? So why do such few people really get what they want from life? The problem often lies in the concrete actions that are needed to succeed. Most people have goals, and even ambitious ones.
你不认为这几个步骤都非常简单吗？那么为什么还是只有少部分人能真正成功呢？问题常常就是缺乏真正的行动。很多人都有理想，远大的理想，但都缺乏行动。
Let’s take the example of Ben, who works in a large manufacturing company. He has held his job for several years, and is nearing the end of his twenties. Ben holds dear an ambitious goal to retire at the age of 55, but there is nothing concrete that he does in order to succeed.
让我们来举一个例子吧，在一家大型生产工厂工作的班，他已经工作了几年了，差不多到30岁了。班有个远大的目标就是要在55岁的时候退休，但是他却没有因为这个目标而做到任何具体的计划。
Fortunately, a friend of Ben knows the importance of financial planning. He explains that by saving a little each year, not only can he fulfill his dreams, but he can outperform and can even retire at 50!
幸运地是，班的一位朋友深知理财的重要性。他说只要每年攒一些钱，不仅能够实现他的梦想，还能够过得更好，并且能在50岁就退休！
Ben is immediately aware that small actions at present can make a big difference to its future. Through their work, some life coaches help their clients who were not previously interested in their personal finances realize the importance of identifying concrete actions and perform them without delay. They were able to achieve important financial goals that have improved their lives.
班马上就意识到了当前的一点一滴的积累，在不久的将来能创造出奇迹。很多人生规划大师，通过他们的工作让他们当前并没有意

识到个人理财重要性的客户意识到了付诸具体行动的重要性，并且来不得半点迟疑。这之后他们就能够达到个人的重要的经济目标，提高生活水平。
So why do not we realize more dreams? Because we make of ten beautiful goals (step 1), but they remain so general that we do not go to the second step of specifying concrete actions to achieve them. These big dreams, because they remain abstract, eventually discourage us. We consider them inaccessible, and soon forget that we even ever had them in the first place.
所以我们为什么不去实现更多的理想呢？如果我们在步骤一中做出了10个远大的目标，但是没有坚持第二步骤即明晰实践计划，这些目标仍然只是个大概。一旦这些目标长期处于一个模糊的状态，我们就会变得气馁，认为它们是难以达到的，很快就会忘记了我们原来的目标理想。
If you learn to identify a vision, you will also learn how to gradually implement it. You will know clearly what you expect from your life and can explain to others how you work to make these goals a reality. You know how to examine issues that impact your relationships, your health, and your vision of yourself, your income, and your career. Your goals are clear. And this clarity is terribly important; otherwise you'll never know what actions you need to take to achieve success.
如果你学会使你的理想可视化的话，那么你就能逐渐的去实现它。你很清楚你需要的是一种什么样的人生，而且能够说清楚你怎么样才能实现它们。你知道怎么去处理你的人际关系，关心你的健康，注重你的个人形象，你的收入和你的事业。你的目标非常的清晰，这非常重要；否则你永远都不知道你要付诸什么行动才能成功。
Finally, the fact that you constantly ask yourself how to achieve your goals and long-term vision require you to think about your future based on the actions you need to perform. You will become more positive about your future because each "How?" leads you to answer that brings you closer to your dream life. Plus, you'll be amazed at how you constantly succeed and find more ideas to make your dreams a reality!
最后，事实上你经常性的问自己怎样才能实现目标和长期的理想，会让你基于当前你所要做的一些事情上重新思考未来。
Clarify Your Goals and Measure Them
明晰你的目标并且去衡量它们。
The philosopher Peter Drucker once said that efficiency is doing things the right way while effectiveness is to make things relevant. To succeed, you need these two dimensions. Even if you never have time to accomplish everything you want, you'll still have the time to choose and do what is most important.
哲学家德努克彼得说过：效率是用正确的方法做事情而努力则是让事情都整合起来。为了成功，你需要做到两个即效率和努力。虽然你永

远都不会有足够的时间去争取你想要的全部，但你仍然有时间去选择，去做最重要的事情。
One of the steps of continuous improvement is to give yourself goals. When most of these goals are clear, it is easier to identify the best actions to be done to achieve them. And if these actions are measurable – that is, when you know the actions and what its results are - you know beyond a doubt that you you’re on the right track. You also know when to correct your course.
不断进步的方法之一是不断的给自己制订目标。当所有的目标都变得清晰起来的时候，就很容易知道要达到这些目标的最好的方法。再者如果这些行动是可测量的—那就是你知道你要做什么也知道会有什么结果—你很怀疑这些行动但确实是正确的。你同样清楚什么时候该调整你的路线。
The more your goals and objectives are specific and measurable, the more you'll know you're capable of achieving them. You'll also be more efficient, and you will accomplish each action more quickly. To measure your actions, you can write them down. I've already talked about the importance of lists.
你的目标越清晰和可定量化，你就更有可能实现它们。你同样会更有效率，做事更快捷。为了评价你的行动，你可以把它们写下来，关于列举明晰的重要性我已经说过了。
These lists are worth it because the mere minutes you proactively invest in managing your goals and actions can save you long hours of later redoing work and correcting heavy mistakes. The simple act of writing them down and rereading them often will increase your results.
这些列表很重要，因为对目标和行动仅仅几分钟的列举会省下之后你不断重新计划和修改大错误的许多时间。把目标写下来并经常拿出来读的简单动作会增加我们的成功率。
