　　測試你的夢想

　　by Dr. John Maxwell

　　--Dr. John Maxwell

　　What is the most dominate dream you think about? Would you like to know your odds of achieving it? In three minutes you will know your answer.

　　你覺得最主導的夢想是什么?你想知道實現(xiàn)夢想的概率嗎?三分鐘內(nèi)你將會知曉答案。

　　As part of my desire to continue learning and growing, I attended a leadership event this past weekend hosted by Bob Burg and Paul Martinelli featuring three of my favorite teachers, Les Brown, Bob Burg and Dr. John C. Maxwell.

　　由于我渴望繼續(xù)學習和成長，上周我參加了由Burg and Paul Martinelli主持的和我最喜歡的三個老師 Les Brown, Bob Burg and Dr. John C. Maxwell主講的領(lǐng)導力課程。

　　Dr. Maxwell (internationally respected leadership expert, speaker, and author) gave an insightful presentation on his book, Put Your Dream to the Test. He said, “The more valid reasons you have for achieving your dreams, the greater your odds will be of achieving them.”

　　Maxwell博士(國際上很受尊重的領(lǐng)導力專家，演說家，作家)在他的書中給出了一個不可見的存在感，就是把夢想放進這個測試里。他說，你想實現(xiàn)夢想的有效地原因越多，你實現(xiàn)夢想的可能性就越大。

　　He highlighted 10 important questions you MUST answer to test your dreams.

　　他強調(diào)了夢想測試里10個你一定要回答的10個很重要的問題。

　　Are you ready to take the test? Pick ONE of your dreams. Got it? Now answer Maxwell’s 10 questions to determine if the odds are in your favor.

　　你準備好測試了嗎?選一個夢想。明白了嗎?現(xiàn)在回答 Maxwell博士的10個問題測試你勝的幾率。

　　1. Is my dream really my dream? If you want to achieve your dream, you must “own” it. It must be yours, not your parents’, teachers’, or anyone else’s. If the achievement of a dream is not of great importance to YOU, it’s unlikely that you will do what’s required to accomplish it.

　　夢想真的是我的夢想嗎?如果你想要實現(xiàn)夢想，你必須要擁有夢想。夢想一定是你的，而不是父母的，老師的或者其他人的。如果實現(xiàn)夢想對你意義不大，你就不大可能去做那些實現(xiàn)夢想所需要做的事情。

　　2. Do I clearly see my dream? What does it look like? The more specific you are on what your dream looks like, the more likely you will be to achieve it. This is one of the reasons I encourage people to cut out images of their “big” goals and dreams, create a collage, and look at it regularly. At first you may only see a piece of your dream; but each day as you move closer, the clearer it will become.

　　你能清楚的看到夢想嗎?他長什么樣子?你對你的夢想看的越具體，實現(xiàn)他的可能性就越大。這是我鼓勵人們?nèi)ゲ眉舫鏊麄兊膲粝?，拼貼成畫，并經(jīng)常注視他的一個原因?？赡軇傞_始你只看到你夢想的一部分，但是你每天走進一點，你的夢想也會變得清晰一點。

　　3. Am I depending on things within my control? This is when you have to be honest with yourself and determine if reaching your dream is within your control. Are you depending on others? If so, who? Do you have the talent, skill or ability to make it come true? If not, can you develop what you are lacking?

　　你所依賴的事情全在你的掌控中嗎?你必須對自己誠實，明確實現(xiàn)夢想的過程是否在你的掌控中。你會依賴他人嗎?如果有，是誰?你有天賦，技能或者能力讓夢想成真嗎?如果沒有，你會培養(yǎng)你缺少的東西嗎?

　　4. Do I have the energy to achieve it? This is the passion question. Think of your last great accomplishment. How much energy did it require of you? Is your dream important enough to you that you will put forth the energy necessary over the time period required?

　　你有精力去實現(xiàn)夢想嗎?這是關(guān)乎激情的問題?；叵胂履闵洗蔚某晒?，他花費了你多少精力?你的夢想對你足夠重要到你優(yōu)先把精力放在實現(xiàn)它的過程中嗎?

　　5. Do I have a strategy? I see very few people who take the time to put together a “real” plan to reach their goals. I am often left in awe, wondering, “How do you think you can achieve your goal without putting together a plan?” A plan outlines the things you must do in a prioritized sequence to achieve your desired outcome.

　　5.你有戰(zhàn)略嗎?我知道很少有人會為了夢想制定一個具體的計劃，我經(jīng)常會畏懼，想著“毫無規(guī)劃你怎么就認為你會實現(xiàn)夢想呢?”一個計劃列舉出了你想實現(xiàn)夢想必須要做的事情的優(yōu)先順序。

　　6. Who do I have around me that can help me? Dr. Maxwell said, “A nightmare is a big dream with a bad team.” Who’s on your team to support, encourage, and help you? If you don’t have the right people on your team, identify people you admire and respect; then determine how they can help you.

　　6.我周圍哪些人能幫到我?Maxwel博士說，噩夢是大夢想背后卻有著差的團隊。你團隊里誰能支持、鼓勵、幫助你?如果你團隊里沒有合適的人，就聯(lián)系你欣賞和尊重的人，然后在決定他們怎么來幫助你。

　　7. Am I willing to pay the price? This is when you have a gut check and ask yourself, “Am I willing to do what is required of me to see my dream come true?” The bigger your dream, the more it will require of you. Are you willing to put forth the effort, overcome the obstacles, and deal with the disappointments that you will face on your journey?

　　7.你愿意付出代價嗎?當你對自己做了個自我剖析之后你問自己“我愿意為了夢想去做一切我所需要的事情嗎?夢想越大，對你的要求也會越高。你甘愿付出努力、克服困境、處理人生路上你面臨的失望嗎?

　　8. Am I moving closer? This is the tenacity question. Am I closer to reaching my dream today than I was yesterday? Was I closer yesterday than the day before? Look at your “To Do” lists over the last week and identify the steps you have taken toward your dream.

　　8.我離夢想更進一步了嗎?這是一個頑固的話題。與昨天相比我離夢想更近一步了嗎?與前天相比我昨天離夢想更近了嗎?看看你上周列出的要做的事情的清單肯定你為實現(xiàn)夢想已經(jīng)采取的措施。

　　9. Does working toward my dream bring satisfaction? If you are not growing and developing yourself in the pursuit of your dream, it may be time to identify a new one. Your journey must be fulfilling.

　　9.朝向夢想途中所作出的成果能帶來滿足感嗎?如果你在追夢途中沒有收獲成長，可能是時候去追尋一個新的夢想啦。你的旅程一定會令人滿足的。

　　10. Does my dream benefit others? If so, Who? Why? If your dream is all about your selfish desires, it’s unlikely that it will ever be realized. Zig Ziglar, the most recognized sales trainer in American history, said, “When you help enough other people get what they want, you will have everything you want.”

　　10.我的夢想能為他人帶來好處嗎?如果能，給誰帶來好處，為什么能帶來好處?如果你的夢想僅是你私人的愿望，很有可能不被大家意識到。美國歷史上最為人知的銷售導師Zig Ziglar曾說過，當你幫助他人獲得他們想要的，你就會得到你想要的一切。

　　How many times did you answer, “Yes”? The more yeses you answered, the more on target you are to achieve your dream. Each of you has the capability to visualize a dream—one that is rewarding and beneficial—and most of you have the ability to accomplish it.

　　”是“你回答了多少次?次數(shù)越多，你實現(xiàn)夢想的可能性越大。每個人都有把夢想形象化的能力--夢想是個有報酬的有好處的一個事情--大部分人都有能力去實現(xiàn)它。

　　So, what are the odds of achieving your dream? If they’re not high, what can you do to increase your odds? Do you need to put together a plan? Do you need to re-evaluate your commitment? Do you need a new support team?

　　所以，實現(xiàn)夢想的可能性有多大?如果不高，我們能做些什么提高可能性呢?你需要制定一個計劃嗎?你需要重新評估下付出嗎?你需要一個新的支持團隊嗎?

　　“Only as high as I reach can I grow, only as far as I seek can I go, only as deep as I look can I see, only as much as I dream can I be.” Karen Ravn

　　Karen Ravn曾說，能摸多高我就長多高，能探多遠我就走多遠，能看多深我就看多深，能做多少夢我就做多少夢。

　　Let me encourage you to print this lesson and ask yourself these ten questions with every dream or goal you consider. Since we can’t reasonably pursue everything we desire, we need to be wise and focus only on the things that pass the test.

　　我鼓勵你去打印這個講座的內(nèi)容，問自己這十個關(guān)于夢想或目標的問題。由于我們做不到合理的追求我們所有的愿望，我們需要明智的把重點放在我們只需要他通過測試的事情上。

　　Dreams come from hidden desires and possibilities. Everyone has dreams that occupy their minds, but it takes determination, a practical plan, and consistent effort to achieve them. Pursue your dream; begin today.

　　夢想來自于潛藏的愿望和可能性，每個人腦海中都有夢想，但是他需要決心，實際的計劃，不懈的努力去實現(xiàn)它。去追夢吧，從今天開始。
