英语故事:让梦想照进现实

Take an online personality or strength/weakness test. This one from Dr. Martin Seligman is world-renowned. You have to register, but that's free。
　　做一份网上的性格或者优点/缺点测试。有份马丁•塞利格曼博士的测试卷闻名于世。你需要注册一下，但它是免费的。

　　Invest a little time in some daily journaling. Just let the pen roll as you envisage what your perfect day, then week, then year would look like. I don't mean the down-time (although there's plenty of people who've turned a passion for travel into a solid income)。
　　每天花点时间写日记。动起笔来想象一下你完美的一天、然后是周、然后是年是怎样的。我并不是指非工作状态时间(虽然多数人会把对旅游的激情转变到有稳固收入的激情上)

　　By this point you should be starting to get a little excited. Even the act of thinking about how cool it would be to actually love what you do should get the motivational juices flowing. But if you're still really not sure what you'd like to do - or perhaps you feel like there's so many things to choose from - then try this。
　　此刻你应该会有点兴奋吧。就算是想到能做自己真正热爱的事情如此之棒，并且能够自由发挥你的激情，也会激动不已。但是如果你仍不知道你想做什么——或者是有那么多事情，不知如何选择——那么尝试下下面的方法。

　　Find a clean piece of paper and a pen. Write down the numbers 1-10. Think back over past weeks, months, even years - which events/activities stand out as being joyous or exciting for you? If you can't think of anything, consider those events you reacted to in others with excitement, even jealousy. You might like to consider the following categories as a memory-jogger or just for ideas:

　　• Travel
　　• Creativity
　　• Social connection
　　• Helping others
　　• Making deals
　　• Re-selling goods
　　• Teaching
