Nietzsche once wrote that if we have a what for, every how becomes possible. When we have the what for, every how becomes possible.
尼采曾寫道,只要我們有目標,一切皆有可能。只要我們有目標,一切皆有可能。
And we are much more likely to overcome difficulties and hardships, if we have a goal, a mission, something that we care about, something that we want to attain. Goals make us more successful for the exact same reason that positive beliefs do. What we are doing with goals with declaring that we believe we are going to get something.
我們更能克服困難,如果我們設定了目標、任務或是我們在意的事以及我們想實現的事。目標讓我們更成功,就跟積極信念發揮作用的原因一樣。有目標就代表我們相信我們會得到某樣東西。

Roger Bannister declared, said that he would break the 4 minute barrier. Thomas Edison said that by the 31 of December, 1879, he would generate light from electricity.
羅杰·班尼斯特宣稱他會打破四分鐘的紀錄。愛迪生曾說過,到1879年12月31日,他會發明出電燈。
Setting goals makes it more likely to come true. Because our mind does not like when the reason inconsistency between what is inside and what is outside. It wants there to be match. And if I believe in a goal and I declare a goal, the outside is likely to match that. Again, not 100 percent correlation as we've discussed, but certainly making it much more likely to happen, making us much more likely to be successful.
設定目標有助于成功,因為我們的思維不喜歡內部和外部不一致。而希望能相一致。如果我相信一個目標、對外宣告這個目標,那外部事物就會趨向于與這目標相一致。但正如我們探討過的,并不會完全一致,但一定更有可能發生,這讓我們更容易成功。
