Before we get to that topic, just a few tips about setting goals. Some basic ones.
在我們進入那個話題之前，講講制定目標的一些建議，非常基本的建議。
First, write them down. You know writing them down is making a commitment, much more of a commitment than just saying them even. It's better to say them publicly than just to say them just to ourselves or think about them. But writing them down makes a difference. A lot of research showing the effect of making plans, lists and writing goals.
首先，要把它們寫下來，寫下來就是做一種承諾，比起只是把它們說出來，最好是公開地把它們說出來，而不是只說給自己聽，或者只是想想，但把它們寫下來完全不同。很多研究都顯示了制定計劃、列出并寫下目標的作用。
Second, set lifelines. You know people talk about deadlines. Tammy, my wife says, "I think it's much more effective, much more useful to set lifelines." Dates by which we hope to achieve those certain goals.
其次，制定最早期限，很多人都會說“最后期限”，我的妻子塔米說“我覺得制定最早期限會更有效，更有幫助”，也就是我們希望完成這些目標的日期。
Why lifelines? Because goals, especially self-concordant goals are about inspiring us. In other words, putting the spirit inside us. They are about making our life happier. More energetic.
為什么要制定最早期限呢？因為目標，尤其是自我和諧的目標是可以激勵我們的，換句話說，給我們注入活力，它們使我們的生活更快樂，更具有活力。
So lifelines. Setting goals. Very important. It's not I-will-do-the-following-soonish; it's "I will do the following by the first of July, 2009.
因此要制定最早期限，制定目標，這非常重要。不是“我馬上就做這些事”；而是“我在2009年7月1日前做好這些事”。
