譯者金老四 Start Thinking NOW About How You Will Rock2011！ 怎樣玩轉(zhuǎn)2011，即刻開始思考！
It’s a little scary for me to think that there are a mere 3 weeks left in 2010. 想到距離2011年僅剩三周，我的內(nèi)心不免惶恐。
One question: Where did the year go? 不免心生疑問:過去的一年就這么溜走了？ January 1st seems to sneak up on us every year, and every year we madly try to figure out what our resolutions will be and what we’re going to accomplish in the coming year. Wouldn’t it be nice to just hit the ground running? 每年，當(dāng)一月一日的腳步逼近時(shí)，我們都近乎瘋狂地許愿，對(duì)新的一年做出期許?，F(xiàn)在就行動(dòng)起來豈不是更好？ You can! Start thinking now about what you want to accomplish next year. Is it losing a few pounds? Taking a course? Learning a new language? Reading a book a month for the whole year? 你一定可以！現(xiàn)在就開始思考一下你明年的目標(biāo)。是要花掉一些錢，參加一門課程；還是學(xué)習(xí)一門外語；抑或是在新的一年里每個(gè)月讀一本書？ Whatever you decide there are a few things you can do to get ahead of the game and get 2011 off to an organized and speedy start. 無論你的決定如何，你都可以做一些事情，以確保你一路領(lǐng)先，使你的2011新年伊始有條不紊。
In my opinion, this is the fun part. There are no limits, no constraints as to what goes on your initial list. Think you might like to minimize and simplify your home? Add it. Always thought it would be fun to start your own blog? Write it down. Whatever you think you want to accomplish in 2011, write it down. 1.列出目標(biāo)。 在我看來，這十分有趣。你將列入表中的目標(biāo)毫無限制和約束。想想你是否想簡化一下你的小屋？把它列進(jìn)去。想想你是否曾認(rèn)為開個(gè)博客蠻有意思？把它列進(jìn)去。不論你想在2011實(shí)現(xiàn)什么愿望，把它們?nèi)苛腥朊麊萎?dāng)中。
With your list at hand, start learning all you can on each subject. This is such an important step yet so many people neglect to take the time to do it, if you omit this step you could be setting yourself up to fail. While “taking up photography” might sound like a great idea now, but when you find out you need to wake before the sun and head out at dusk just to get the best lighting, you might not be as excited. It’s best to know what you’re getting into and what’s involved before investing a lot of time or money in a resolution. 2 、仔細(xì)研究。 一紙計(jì)劃在手，現(xiàn)在就開始研究一下你要為此做什么吧。這一步十分重要，然而很多人卻對(duì)此不屑，如果你將其省略，那么從一開始你就注定會(huì)以失敗告終。盡管“從事攝影”這個(gè)主意聽起來不錯(cuò)，但一想只為捕捉到最佳光線，你就要起早貪黑，恐怕你就不會(huì)如此興奮了。因此，在決定為你的遠(yuǎn)大目標(biāo)投入時(shí)間或金錢之前，你最好先弄清楚為此將要付出什么。
Ask yourself a few questions and be as honest and true about your answers as you can be. Do you really want to do this, or does someone else think this is a great idea? Can you really accomplish it this year? Think ahead a couple of months or fast forward towards the middle of summer and are you still able to make it happen? Being honest at this point of the process will save you a lot of heart ache down the line. 3、腳踏實(shí)地。 先問問自己，然后對(duì)自己的問題盡量如實(shí)地回答。想一下，你當(dāng)真想做這件事，還是因?yàn)樵趧e人看來這是個(gè)不錯(cuò)的選擇？這一年，你當(dāng)真能將其實(shí)現(xiàn)？提前幾個(gè)月想想，到年中之時(shí)你依然能如己所愿？如果在這個(gè)過程中，你能誠實(shí)面對(duì)自己，那么最后你就會(huì)少幾分心碎。
It’s inevitable, you will need things along the way to help you succeed. Are they people, materials, or a combination of both? Where will you get them from? Can you get them now so you’re ready to hit the ground running? Contact the people on your list and see if they are willing to be a mentor, find out how much time they can dedicate to you. 4、集聚資源 。 誠然，在通向目標(biāo)道路上的一些支持不可或缺。是人力，物力，抑或是兩者都需要？你將從何而得？你能立即擁有這些以便馬上開始你的計(jì)劃嗎？與相識(shí)的人聯(lián)系一下，看看他們是否能夠能為你的良師益友，再看看他們能分給你多少時(shí)間。
There are certain things I need help with in terms of staying focused, motivated and accountable. If you’re similar to me consider recruiting others to join you. Do you want to walk everyday? Try asking your neighbours, or fellow dog owners in your neighborhood if there is a time convenient for all of you to get out and walk together. Want to cook at home more instead of eating out? Try getting a friend in on the deal, one who is perhaps as kitchen inept as you are, and start a cooking challenge. Be honest with yourself, if you need help staying on track ask for it. 5、團(tuán)隊(duì)合作。 為始終保持精神集中，干勁十足，盡職盡責(zé)，我必然需要一些幫助。如果你的情況與我相似，你最好也號(hào)召一些人加入你的隊(duì)伍。你想獨(dú)自散步嗎？如果不，那就問問你的鄰居或同事，看他們是否有方便合適的時(shí)間和你一同外出散步。你不想下飯館而喜歡親自烹飪？如果是，那就約上一個(gè)像你一樣不諳廚藝的朋友，做一次廚房探險(xiǎn)吧。正視自己，若是需要幫助，一定要開口相求。
When you say yes to one thing you are saying no to another. If you want to walk in the evenings are you ready to give up chilling in front of the TV or meeting your friend for coffee after work? If you want to lose weight are you willing to give up eating out or sitting with a bag of chips in front of the TV? There are some trade-offs that you need to make in order to be successful. Are you willing to make these sacrifices? 6、+你能放棄什么？ 魚與熊掌，不可兼得。如果你想傍晚散步，那么你做好放棄看電視或和缺席朋友聚會(huì)的準(zhǔn)備了嗎？如果你想減肥，你能放棄外出聚餐，抵擋住電視機(jī)前那袋薯?xiàng)l嗎？有舍才有得，你愿意做出這樣的犧牲嗎？
This has been the common theme throughout this post. If you’ve been honest with yourself up to this point, well done! You likely now have a list of resolutions that are realistic and that you can succeed at. If you haven’t been so honest I urge you to go back through your list and this time be completely honest with yourself. It will do you no good to lie or sugar coat anything. Be honest, be real and you’ll be a lot more likely to succeed. 7、誠實(shí)待己。 這一點(diǎn)始終貫穿全文。如果你至此都能誠實(shí)面對(duì)自己，你就是好樣的！現(xiàn)在就制定切實(shí)可行的新年目標(biāo)吧。如果你還不夠坦然，那我勸你重新審視一下你的計(jì)劃，然后完全誠實(shí)地面對(duì)自己。美化事實(shí)或自欺欺人毫無益處，坦率誠實(shí)，才更易成功。 Those are just some ideas on how you can start thinking now on how you will rock 2011! 以上這些想法只是有關(guān)于從現(xiàn)在開始我們可以怎樣思考、怎樣玩轉(zhuǎn)2011年！ Have you started thinking about your goals for the new year? Do you have any other tips on getting a head start on 2011? 開始思考你的新年新愿望了嗎？開啟2011，你還有何高見？ 相關(guān)文章： |
