Doesn't it feel good to say it out loud?
大聲說出來是不是十分爽？
Don't you feel one step closer already, like it's already becoming part of your identity?
你是不是覺得更進一步了，貌似這已經(jīng)成為你自己的一部分？
Well, bad news: you should have kept your mouth shut, because that good feeling now will make you less likely to do it.
嗯，壞消息：你最好閉嘴，因為你的自我感覺良好，在現(xiàn)實中反而使你不太容易實現(xiàn)目標。
The repeated psychology tests have proven that telling someone your goal makes it less likely to happen.
許多心理測試已證明，告訴別人你的目標反而使目標不能實現(xiàn)。
Any time you have a goal, there are some steps that need to be done, some work that needs to be done in order to achieve it.
任何時候在你有個目標時，你得按計劃做些工作來實現(xiàn)這個目標。
Ideally you would not be satisfied until you'd actually done the work.
理想狀況下，除非你實際地做些工作，你才會滿足。
But when you tell someone your goal and they acknowledge it, psychologists have found that it's called a "social reality."
但是當你告訴別人你的目標，大家也承認你的目標，心理學家發(fā)現(xiàn)，這被稱為一種社會現(xiàn)實。
The mind is kind of tricked into feeling that it's already done.
思維定勢讓你有種感覺到你的目標已經(jīng)達到。
And then because you've felt that satisfaction, you're less motivated to do the actual hard work necessary.
然后，因為你感到滿足感，你不那么積極地做實際需要的艱苦工作。
So this goes against conventional wisdom that we should tell our friends our goals, right? So they hold us to it.
這觀點和傳統(tǒng)觀點背道而馳，我們應該告訴我們朋友們關(guān)于我們的目標嗎，對嗎？他們鼓勵我們實現(xiàn)目標。
So, let's look at the proof. 1926: Kurt Lewin, founder of social psychology, called this "substitution."
我們來看看這個證明。1926年，社會心理學的創(chuàng)始人庫爾特·勒溫稱這個為“替代”。
1933: Wera Mahler found when it was acknowledged by others, it felt real in the mind.
1933年，偉拉·馬勒發(fā)現(xiàn)當你的目標被別人承認，在你腦子里就好比這已經(jīng)實現(xiàn)了。
1982, Peter Gollwitzer wrote a whole book about this, and in 2009, he did some new tests that were published.
1982年，皮特·哥爾維策爾關(guān)于此寫了一本書，在2009年，他公布了一些新的實驗證明。
