2、Without being translated into goals,our desire remain just that——things we wish would happen.
渴望若没有变成目标，它仍旧是那些我们希望发生，但实际并未发生的事
3、Don't do you best. In the absence of a specific goal,do your best somewhat ironically tends to produce work that is far from the best ——it's a recipe for mediocrity.
别嚷嚷着做到最好。当缺乏具体的目标，你的那些为"做到最好"的行动无疑将会与“最好”背道而驰
4、Setting specific,challenging goals creates a cycle of success and happiness that can repeat itself over and over again.
设置具体的、具有挑战性的目标会让你进入一个良性循环：能够获得源源不断的成功和幸福
5、Since both the "big picture" why and "nitty-gritty" what modes of thinking have their advantages and disvantages,the best strategy is to shift your thinking style to match the goal you want to achieve.
既然从更有意义的为什么到具体细节的做什么的思维模式各有千秋，最好的策略当然是到什么山头唱什么歌，把将要的达成目标同思维模式相互匹配。
6、Knowing how your thinking may be affected by time——by whether you are deciding about the near to distant future——is crucial if you want to compensate for your natural bias and make the best possible decision.
了解你的思维可能会被时间影响，不论你在决策时考虑近期或远期未来，这对于想要弥补偏见的你以及做出可能的最优决策都是至关重要的。
7、Big-picture ,why thinking about your goal is most helpful for getting you motivated and energized, focusing you on the rewards you can gain,and encouraging self-control and persistence.
从整体上的为什么式思考模式有助于你在达成目标过程中：保持积极向上与活力四射，聚焦于你可以获得的奖励以及促进自控力与坚持不懈。
8、Nitty-gritty,what thinking will benefit you most when your goals involves doing something difficult or unfamiliar, focusing you on the practical details of getting the job done, and helping you to aviod procrastination.
从细节上的做什么式思考模式有助于你在达成目标过程中：尝试困难或者不熟悉的事，聚焦于有助于完成工作的小细节，同时能让你远离拖延。
9、Believing you will succeed really does make you more likely to succeed.
笃信你能成功会让你更可能取得成功
10、No matter who they are and what they are trying to do,we find that successful people not only have confidence that they will eventually succeed, but are equally confident that they will have a tough time getting there.
不论他们是谁也不论他们尝试做些什么，那些成功人士不仅对自己终将成功充满信心，而且也明白在那之前还有一段很难的路要走。（想想从战略上藐视敌人，从战术上重视敌人,貌似有点像）
11、The optimal strategy use when setting a goal seems to be to think positively about how it will be when achieve your goal,while thinking realistically about what it will take to get there.
当你用积极思维去设定目标时:最好的策略是你不仅想象达成目标后的情景，同时考虑实际情况，需要做什么才能达成目标。（考虑目标对你的激励以及你自己成功可能性）
12、 By contrasting the things you have to gain with the obstacles standing in your way, you should now have a better sense of how likely you are to succeed, and how committed you are to that success.
通过对比你实现目标过程中将会获得的以及你会遇到的困难，你应该可以更好把握自己成功的可能性，以及你对那份成功执着。
