辞旧迎新别着急：新年继续旧计划

As the year winds down, many find themselves looking forward to the New Year.
随着这一年落下帷幕，许多人都期盼着新的一年。

They are hoping that it will be better than the current one. They are setting goals and make resolutions about what they will accomplish in the coming year.
他们希望新的一年会比今年更美好。他们为将在来年完成的事情制定了目标写下了计划。

What about you? Have you planned for the coming year? Have you made your resolutions yet?
那么你呢？你为来年做计划了吗？你的新年计划写好了吗？

And here is the tough question… “Are they the same goals you set last year?”
现在有个难题……“那些目标跟你去年制定的相同吗？”

Different Year, Same Goals
不同的年份，相同的目标

I’m not a big fan of New Year’s resolutions. You don’t need to wait until the New Year to set goals and take action. Studies have shown that 80% of people fall off their resolutions within 30 days.
我并不十分热衷新年计划。你不必等到新年的时候才制定目标、采取行动。研究显示，80%的人在30天内就忘了自己的新年计划。

Are your goals the same every year? I bet I can name several of your goals…
你的目标是不是每年都一样？我打赌我能说出你的几个目标来……

Get your finances in order/eliminate your debt 整理资产/清除债务

Get a better job/change careers 换一份更好的工作/改变职业
