Ever since I was a kid, I’ve loved to dream amazing dreams. One day it might be flying, the next day it might be racing, and on another it might be inventing something new. Dreams are one of the wonders of life. It’s curious to me how our minds can take the things we see, hear, and feel and create completely new images in our mind’s eye.

当我还是个孩子的时候，我就喜欢梦想着了不起的梦想。总有一天会被放飞，第二天就会竞赛，再有一天就会发明出新的东西来。梦想就是生命的一个奇迹。我很好奇，我们的大脑是怎样对待我们看到、听到、感受到的内容，并在我们头脑中创造出全然新奇的形象。

 

What is even more amazing than the dreams themselves, is the fact that they can actually come true in real life. For years I dreamed of writing a book. One day I went to the front door and there was a package containing a book with my name on it. Opening the box and holding that book was the culmination of years of dreaming. From the title, to the characters, to the evolving story, all had been dreams or ideas before they became reality.

比梦想本身更为惊奇的是，在现实生活中能成为现实的事实。多年来我梦想着写作一本书。有一天我到前门，发现了一个写着我名字的包裹，里面有一本书。打开盒子手持书本的时候，是多年梦想的顶点。从标题、角色、到故事进展，全都是成为现实之前的梦想与想法。

Yet, an even more curious fact emerges. Some dreams come true, and some don’t. Some really simple dreams linger on in my mind, year after year. Others take shape right away. I’ve often wondered what makes the difference.

然而，一个更加令人好奇的事实出现了。有些梦想成为现实，有些则没有。有些事实上很简单的梦想在我的头脑中一年年徘徊。而有些则立即成形了。我经常想这其中的区别。

I’ve talked with wonderful writers who have never been able to put a book together, while other, less talented writers, have published dozens. What makes the difference? What makes companies like Apple and Disney, be able to take magical dreams and turn them into realities?

我与从未出过书的优秀作家们交谈过，而稍有才华的作家却以出版了一系列书籍。这里的区别是什么？像苹果和迪士尼这样的公司是怎样将神奇的梦想变成现实的呢？

While there are many factors, Here are three important ways to make your dreams come true.

虽说有很多因素，但这里有三个重要的方法将你的梦想变成现实。

1. Write Them Down: A dream written down and attached to a date becomes a goal. It sounds over-simplistic, yet that simple act is the difference between a dreamer and a doer. The statistics are staggering. People who set written goals are much more successful than those that don’t. Putting your goals where you can see them is really important.

1.把它们写下来：写下来的梦想、系下一个日子就成为了目标。听起来过于简单化了，但是简单的行为就是梦想家与行动者之间的区别。数据是令人惊愕的。制定书面目标的人要比不制定目标的人成功很多。将你的目标置于你能看见的地方是很重要的。

2. Dream BIG Dreams: It’s funny, but the amazing thing to me is the fact that it is easier to accomplish a BIG dream than a small one. Big dreams are exciting and keep us motivated. They get us up in the morning and keep us motivated through the day. They attract other people to get involved. Little dreams are easily forgotten and often abandoned.

2. 做远大的梦想：很有意思，对我来说有意思的事情在于实现一个远大的梦想远比实现小梦想容易的多。远大的梦想是令人激动的、能使我们保持动力前行。清晨它们将我们唤醒来而后的一整天促进我们行动。它们也吸引着参与进来的人。小小的梦想很容易就因为遗忘而被放弃。

3. Focus on One Dream at a Time. An old Chinese proverb states that “A man who chases two rabbits, catches none.” Focus is critical to achieving our goals. Steve Jobs commented that the single thing that made Apple successful was the thousand projects they didn’t do. Focusing on one important goal at a time will help you stay on track.

3.一次只聚焦一个梦想。中国古谚语说：“同时追两兔，一个也逮不住。” 聚精会神对于实现我们的目标来说是很重要的。斯蒂夫·乔布斯评论说：唯一让苹果公司成功的事情就是他们没有做上千个项目。一次只聚焦于一个重要的目标，将会帮助你行走在正规上。
