2) Evaluate your desire and motivation.
認準所求和動力

People often think they know what they want. The good news is that if you set a goal and work hard, you are likely to achieve it. The bad news is that it might not really be what you want. 人們總是認為自己知道想要什么。好的方面是：如果你設定了一個目標，并且為之努力，你就可能實現。壞的方面是：這個目標也許不是你真正想要的。

Suppose you want to date a girl at the gym. You overheard her say that she likes men with large muscular arms. You set the goal of working extra everyday to achieve bigger than life biceps and triceps. You reach your goal after grueling hours of sweat and pain. In the meantime, she met a guy half the size as you, and who was available because he was not in the gym 12 hours a day. 假設你想和一位健身房的MM約會。你偷聽到這位MM說她喜歡手臂肌肉壯的男性。于是你設定了每天額外運動來獲得更大肌肉的目標。在不知流了多少汗、吃了多少苦后實現了目標。與此同時，她卻看上了比你小一半的男人，那個人有時間，因為（不像你）他不會一天12小時泡在健身房。

You reached your goal of large arms, but set the wrong goal of trying to get a date with a particular girl. Make sure you are really reaching for what you really want in life. You can achieve what you sought and still feel empty inside. 你是達到了讓手臂肌肉發達的目標，但是，對于爭取要和某個MM約會來說，這個目標設錯了。你一定要為生活中真正想要的東西努力。（因為不然的話）你可能會達到了追求的目標而仍感到內心空虛。
