辞旧迎新别着急：新年继续旧计划

Do these sound familiar? Why haven’t you accomplished them? After all, you said you were going to do them last year. How about this year?
这些是不是听起来很熟悉？为什么你没有实现这些目标？毕竟，去年你说过你会做这些。那么今年呢？

Make Your Goals… And Keep Them.
制定目标……坚持下去

This year, let’s make them stick. Here are 5 tips to help you when setting your goals:
今年，让我们坚持下去。以下是帮助你制定目标的5个小贴士：

Pick a Handful of Goals – When I say pick a handful of goals, I mean this literally. You have five fingers, pick 5 goals. You can keep track of them on one hand. I see people whose resolution list is well over a dozen resolutions. This is simply too much. These people tend to be unsuccessful at all of their resolutions. Be successful in your most important goals and the rest will follow.
挑选少量目标——我说选择少量目标，表达的就是字面意思。你有五个手指，选择五个目标。你可以用一只手来掌握它们。我看到有的人的计划清单上有二十多个计划。这太多了。这些人通常都无法实现他们的计划。在你最重要的目标上取得成功，其他的就会随之而来。

Write them Down – Post your goals where you can see them. When I was started TMN several year ago, I posted papers all over the dining room wall. Every day I had to look at those papers and they reminded and drove me towards my goals. Some people like to put them on their bathroom mirror.
把目标写下来——把你的目标放在你能看到的地方。当几年前我创建电信管理网的时候，我把文件全贴在了餐厅的墙上。每天我必须看看这些文件，它们提醒着我，驱使着我向着目标而前进。有些人喜欢把它们贴在洗手间的镜子上。

Do Them Daily - When you are trying to make big things happen, you have to work on them every day. Yes, every day. When you start to think that you will put it off, or do it another day… that is when you start to slip. That is when you start to let go. Don’t let this happen to you. Daily discipline is how great things are done.
每天都有行动——当你努力去实现一些大事的时候，你必须每天都为此行动。是的，每天。当你开始想你会把它推迟，或者改日再去做的时候，那时你就开始放弃了。那时你就开始放任不管了。不要让这发生在你的身上。伟大的事情都是通过日常训练做成的。

Be Willing To Pay the Price – You will have to sacrifice. Every goal has a price. If your goal is to write a book, you might need to turn off the TV at night. If you want to get in shape, you may need to get up early and go to the gym before work. If it helps, think of this as the “price of admission” to your goals.
愿意付出代价——你将必须做出牺牲。每一个目标都是有代价的。如果你的目标是写一本书，你可能就需要在晚上关掉电视。如果你想塑身，你可能就需要早起，在上班之前去健身。如果这有所帮助，就把它当作实现目标的“入场费”。

Tell People You Trust – By this, I mean tell those people who will impact your path to your goals. Telling your office workers may seem like a feel good tactic, but will they be there to help you take that class late at night? Or help with the kids when you workout? We avoid telling those closest to us, because we don’t want to be vulnerable. However, it is your spouse, family, and closest friends that can support you along way to success.
告知你信赖的人——在此，我的意思是告诉那些将会在你实现目标的道路带来影响的人。告诉你的同事可能看起来像是个好策略，但是他们会帮助你晚上上课到很晚吗？或者在你外出工作的时候帮你照顾孩子？我们不愿意告诉最亲密的人，因为我们不想成为脆弱的人。然而，正是你的伴侣、家人、密友能够在你通往成功的道路上支持你。
