译者金老四 Start Thinking NOW About How You Will Rock2011！ 怎样玩转2011，即刻开始思考！
It’s a little scary for me to think that there are a mere 3 weeks left in 2010. 想到距离2011年仅剩三周，我的内心不免惶恐。
One question: Where did the year go? 不免心生疑问:过去的一年就这么溜走了？ January 1st seems to sneak up on us every year, and every year we madly try to figure out what our resolutions will be and what we’re going to accomplish in the coming year. Wouldn’t it be nice to just hit the ground running? 每年，当一月一日的脚步逼近时，我们都近乎疯狂地许愿，对新的一年做出期许。现在就行动起来岂不是更好？ You can! Start thinking now about what you want to accomplish next year. Is it losing a few pounds? Taking a course? Learning a new language? Reading a book a month for the whole year? 你一定可以！现在就开始思考一下你明年的目标。是要花掉一些钱，参加一门课程；还是学习一门外语；抑或是在新的一年里每个月读一本书？ Whatever you decide there are a few things you can do to get ahead of the game and get 2011 off to an organized and speedy start. 无论你的决定如何，你都可以做一些事情，以确保你一路领先，使你的2011新年伊始有条不紊。
In my opinion, this is the fun part. There are no limits, no constraints as to what goes on your initial list. Think you might like to minimize and simplify your home? Add it. Always thought it would be fun to start your own blog? Write it down. Whatever you think you want to accomplish in 2011, write it down. 1.列出目标。 在我看来，这十分有趣。你将列入表中的目标毫无限制和约束。想想你是否想简化一下你的小屋？把它列进去。想想你是否曾认为开个博客蛮有意思？把它列进去。不论你想在2011实现什么愿望，把它们全部列入名单当中。
With your list at hand, start learning all you can on each subject. This is such an important step yet so many people neglect to take the time to do it, if you omit this step you could be setting yourself up to fail. While “taking up photography” might sound like a great idea now, but when you find out you need to wake before the sun and head out at dusk just to get the best lighting, you might not be as excited. It’s best to know what you’re getting into and what’s involved before investing a lot of time or money in a resolution. 2 、仔细研究。 一纸计划在手，现在就开始研究一下你要为此做什么吧。这一步十分重要，然而很多人却对此不屑，如果你将其省略，那么从一开始你就注定会以失败告终。尽管“从事摄影”这个主意听起来不错，但一想只为捕捉到最佳光线，你就要起早贪黑，恐怕你就不会如此兴奋了。因此，在决定为你的远大目标投入时间或金钱之前，你最好先弄清楚为此将要付出什么。
Ask yourself a few questions and be as honest and true about your answers as you can be. Do you really want to do this, or does someone else think this is a great idea? Can you really accomplish it this year? Think ahead a couple of months or fast forward towards the middle of summer and are you still able to make it happen? Being honest at this point of the process will save you a lot of heart ache down the line. 3、脚踏实地。 先问问自己，然后对自己的问题尽量如实地回答。想一下，你当真想做这件事，还是因为在别人看来这是个不错的选择？这一年，你当真能将其实现？提前几个月想想，到年中之时你依然能如己所愿？如果在这个过程中，你能诚实面对自己，那么最后你就会少几分心碎。
It’s inevitable, you will need things along the way to help you succeed. Are they people, materials, or a combination of both? Where will you get them from? Can you get them now so you’re ready to hit the ground running? Contact the people on your list and see if they are willing to be a mentor, find out how much time they can dedicate to you. 4、集聚资源 。 诚然，在通向目标道路上的一些支持不可或缺。是人力，物力，抑或是两者都需要？你将从何而得？你能立即拥有这些以便马上开始你的计划吗？与相识的人联系一下，看看他们是否能够能为你的良师益友，再看看他们能分给你多少时间。
There are certain things I need help with in terms of staying focused, motivated and accountable. If you’re similar to me consider recruiting others to join you. Do you want to walk everyday? Try asking your neighbours, or fellow dog owners in your neighborhood if there is a time convenient for all of you to get out and walk together. Want to cook at home more instead of eating out? Try getting a friend in on the deal, one who is perhaps as kitchen inept as you are, and start a cooking challenge. Be honest with yourself, if you need help staying on track ask for it. 5、团队合作。 为始终保持精神集中，干劲十足，尽职尽责，我必然需要一些帮助。如果你的情况与我相似，你最好也号召一些人加入你的队伍。你想独自散步吗？如果不，那就问问你的邻居或同事，看他们是否有方便合适的时间和你一同外出散步。你不想下饭馆而喜欢亲自烹饪？如果是，那就约上一个像你一样不谙厨艺的朋友，做一次厨房探险吧。正视自己，若是需要帮助，一定要开口相求。
When you say yes to one thing you are saying no to another. If you want to walk in the evenings are you ready to give up chilling in front of the TV or meeting your friend for coffee after work? If you want to lose weight are you willing to give up eating out or sitting with a bag of chips in front of the TV? There are some trade-offs that you need to make in order to be successful. Are you willing to make these sacrifices? 6、+你能放弃什么？ 鱼与熊掌，不可兼得。如果你想傍晚散步，那么你做好放弃看电视或和缺席朋友聚会的准备了吗？如果你想减肥，你能放弃外出聚餐，抵挡住电视机前那袋薯条吗？有舍才有得，你愿意做出这样的牺牲吗？
This has been the common theme throughout this post. If you’ve been honest with yourself up to this point, well done! You likely now have a list of resolutions that are realistic and that you can succeed at. If you haven’t been so honest I urge you to go back through your list and this time be completely honest with yourself. It will do you no good to lie or sugar coat anything. Be honest, be real and you’ll be a lot more likely to succeed. 7、诚实待己。 这一点始终贯穿全文。如果你至此都能诚实面对自己，你就是好样的！现在就制定切实可行的新年目标吧。如果你还不够坦然，那我劝你重新审视一下你的计划，然后完全诚实地面对自己。美化事实或自欺欺人毫无益处，坦率诚实，才更易成功。 Those are just some ideas on how you can start thinking now on how you will rock 2011! 以上这些想法只是有关于从现在开始我们可以怎样思考、怎样玩转2011年！ Have you started thinking about your goals for the new year? Do you have any other tips on getting a head start on 2011? 开始思考你的新年新愿望了吗？开启2011，你还有何高见？ 相关文章： |
