你覺得最主導的夢想是什么?你想知道實現夢想的概率嗎?三分鐘內你將會知曉答案。
As part of my desire to continue learning and growing, I attended a leadership event this past weekend hosted by Bob Burg and Paul Martinelli featuring three of my favorite teachers, Les Brown, Bob Burg and Dr. John C. Maxwell.
生活英語聽力文章：回答10個問題測試你的夢想由于我渴望繼續學習和成長，上周我參加了由Burg and Paul Martinelli主持的和我最喜歡的三個老師 Les Brown, Bob Burg and Dr. John C. Maxwell主講的領導力課程。
Dr. Maxwell (internationally respected leadership expert, speaker, and author) gave an insightful presentation on his book, Put Your Dream to the Test. He said, “The more valid reasons you have for achieving your dreams, the greater your odds will be of achieving them.”
Maxwell博士(國際上很受尊重的領導力專家，演說家，作家)在他的書中給出了一個不可見的存在感，就是把夢想放進這個測試里。他說，你想實現夢想的有效地原因越多，你實現夢想的可能性就越大。
He highlighted 10 important questions you MUST answer to test your dreams.
他強調了夢想測試里10個你一定要回答的10個很重要的問題。
Are you ready to take the test? Pick ONE of your dreams. Got it? Now answer Maxwell’s 10 questions to determine if the odds are in your favor.
你準備好測試了嗎?選一個夢想。明白了嗎?現在回答 Maxwell博士的10個問題測試你勝的幾率。
1. Is my dream really my dream? If you want to achieve your dream, you must “own” it. It must be yours, not your parents’, teachers’, or anyone else’s. If the achievement of a dream is not of great importance to YOU, it’s unlikely that you will do what’s required to accomplish it.
夢想真的是我的夢想嗎?如果你想要實現夢想，你必須要擁有夢想。夢想一定是你的，而不是父母的，老師的或者其他人的。如果實現夢想對你意義不大，你就不大可能去做那些實現夢想所需要做的事情。
2. Do I clearly see my dream? What does it look like? The more specific you are on what your dream looks like, the more likely you will be to achieve it. This is one of the reasons I encourage people to cut out images of their “big” goals and dreams, create a collage, and look at it regularly. At first you may only see a piece of your dream; but each day as you move closer, the clearer it will become.
你能清楚的看到夢想嗎?他長什么樣子?你對你的夢想看的越具體，實現他的可能性就越大。這是我鼓勵人們去裁剪出他們的夢想，拼貼成畫，并經常注視他的一個原因。可能剛開始你只看到你夢想的一部分，但是你每天走進一點，你的夢想也會變得清晰一點。
3. Am I depending on things within my control? This is when you have to be honest with yourself and determine if reaching your dream is within your control. Are you depending on others? If so, who? Do you have the talent, skill or ability to make it come true? If not, can you develop what you are lacking?
你所依賴的事情全在你的掌控中嗎?你必須對自己誠實，明確實現夢想的過程是否在你的掌控中。你會依賴他人嗎?如果有，是誰?你有天賦，技能或者能力讓夢想成真嗎?如果沒有，你會培養你缺少的東西嗎?
4. Do I have the energy to achieve it? This is the passion question. Think of your last great accomplishment. How much energy did it require of you? Is your dream important enough to you that you will put forth the energy necessary over the time period required?
你有精力去實現夢想嗎?這是關乎激情的問題。回想下你上次的成功，他花費了你多少精力?你的夢想對你足夠重要到你優先把精力放在實現它的過程中嗎?
5. Do I have a strategy? I see very few people who take the time to put together a “real” plan to reach their goals. I am often left in awe, wondering, “How do you think you can achieve your goal without putting together a plan?” A plan outlines the things you must do in a prioritized sequence to achieve your desired outcome.
5.你有戰略嗎?我知道很少有人會為了夢想制定一個具體的計劃，我經常會畏懼，想著“毫無規劃你怎么就認為你會實現夢想呢?”一個計劃列舉出了你想實現夢想必須要做的事情的優先順序。
