英語美文：目標(biāo)和夢想之間的10大差別

Are you waiting for your dreams to come true and change your life? I am sorry to tell you that dreams don’t come true.Rather, it is your goals that can forever change your life. You need to set goals in order turn your dreams into reality.

你正在等待你的夢想成真借以改變你的生活嗎?我很遺憾地告訴你，夢想實(shí)現(xiàn)不了了。事實(shí)上，可以永遠(yuǎn)改變你的生活的是你的目標(biāo)。為了把你的夢想變成現(xiàn)實(shí)，你需要設(shè)定目標(biāo)。

Don’t confuse dreams and goals. Dreams are easy. They are free, too. However, dreams by themselves are just that… dreams. They are imaginary. And they don’t produce tangible results. You need to turn your dreams into action. You need goals to make the visions of your dreams real.

不要混淆夢想和目標(biāo)。夢想來的容易，而且還是免費(fèi)的。然而，夢想本身只是夢想，它們是虛構(gòu)的。而且他們產(chǎn)生不了觸手可及的結(jié)果。你需要把你的夢想變成行動(dòng)，你需要目標(biāo)使你的夢想變成現(xiàn)實(shí)。

Dreams can inspire you, but goals can change your life. Goals are all about action. Goals change you and can change your life. What will it take to turn your dreams into goals?

夢想可以激勵(lì)你，但目標(biāo)可以改變你的生活。目標(biāo)都是關(guān)乎行動(dòng)的，目標(biāo)可以改變你，也可以改變你的生活。怎樣才能把你的夢想變成目標(biāo)?

Here are 10 Big Differences Between Goals and Dreams:

這里是目標(biāo)和夢想之間的10大差異：

1.Goals are something you are acting on. Dreams are something you are just thinking about. Goals require action. Dreams can happen without lifting a finger, even while you are asleep.

目標(biāo)是指你可以采取的行動(dòng)，夢想只是你的思考。目標(biāo)則需要行動(dòng)。夢想，不用動(dòng)動(dòng)手指頭就能擁有，甚至在你睡著的時(shí)候。

2.Goals have deadlines. Dreams are just, well, dreams. Goals must have a deadline. They have a time limit. Dreams can go on forever. In fact, many people maintain dreams their entire lives without ever reaching them.

目標(biāo)有最后期限，夢想只是夢。目標(biāo)必須有一個(gè)期限，它們有一個(gè)時(shí)間限制。夢想可以永遠(yuǎn)繼續(xù)下去。事實(shí)上，許多人一生都在夢想，卻從來沒達(dá)到夢想。

3.Dreams are free. Goals have a cost. While you can daydream for free, goals don’t come without a price. Time, money, effort and sweat. How will you pay for your goals?

夢想是免費(fèi)的，目標(biāo)是要付出代價(jià)的。雖然您可以免費(fèi)做白日夢，但不付出努力，是無法實(shí)現(xiàn)目標(biāo)的。時(shí)間、金錢、努力和汗水，你愿為你的目標(biāo)付出什么?

4.Goals produce results. Dreams don’t. Want to change your life? Your job? Your status in life? Goals can do that. A good friend of mine made six-figures on the ebook he published. He did that. Had it stayed as a dream, his life would have been as it always was.

目標(biāo)產(chǎn)生結(jié)果，夢想則不會(huì)。想要改變你的生活?你的工作?你的生活狀態(tài)?目標(biāo)可以實(shí)現(xiàn)這些。我的一個(gè)好朋友靠發(fā)表他的電子書賺了幾十萬。他做到了。如果只是作為一個(gè)夢想，他的生活依舊是老樣子。

5.Dreams are imaginary. Goals are based in reality. You may dream of being Superman, but that is probably not going to happen. Goals are about what you can actually accomplish. They are grounded in the reality of our world. Goals should be big, but not supernatural.

夢想是虛構(gòu)的，目標(biāo)是建立在現(xiàn)實(shí)中的。你可以夢想成為超人，但這不太可能發(fā)生，而目標(biāo)則是關(guān)乎你可以完成的事，它們是以我們的現(xiàn)實(shí)世界為基礎(chǔ)的。目標(biāo)應(yīng)該宏偉，但不會(huì)超越自然。

6.Goals have a finish line. Dreams never have to end. Dreams can go on forever. They don’t have to have an ending point. Goals must have a specific outcome.

目標(biāo)有終點(diǎn)，夢想從來不會(huì)結(jié)束。夢想可以永遠(yuǎn)繼續(xù)下去，它們不需要有終點(diǎn)。目標(biāo)必須有一個(gè)特定的結(jié)果。

7.Dreams can inspire you. Goals can change your life. Dreams can bring you motivation. They can inspire you. But, goals can change your life forever.

夢想可以激勵(lì)你，目標(biāo)可以改變你的生活。夢想可以帶給你的動(dòng)力，它們可以激勵(lì)你。但是，目標(biāo)能永遠(yuǎn)改變你的生活。

8.Goals must have focus. Dreams don’t. Dreams can be drifting, ever-changing thoughts. Goals must be laser-focused. They must be specific and they must be always on your mind.

目標(biāo)必須有重點(diǎn)，夢想可以沒有。夢想可以是漂浮的、千變?nèi)f化的想法。目標(biāo)必須是有聚焦的重點(diǎn)的，它們必須非常具體，同時(shí)必須時(shí)刻在你的腦子里。

9.Goals require hard work. Dreams just require your imagination. Dreaming is easy. Almost everyone has a dream. But, fewer people have goals. Goals are hard and they require hard work.

目標(biāo)需要努力工作，夢想只需要你的想象力。擁有夢想是容易的，幾乎每個(gè)人都有一個(gè)夢想。但是很少有人設(shè)立目標(biāo)。目標(biāo)是艱難的，而且它們需要我們的努力工作才能實(shí)現(xiàn)。

10.Dreams stretch your imagination. Goals stretch you. Dreaming leads to bigger dreams. They stretch the limits of your imagination. But, goals stretch you. They increase your skills, your abilities, and change you forever.

夢想拓展你的想象力，目標(biāo)會(huì)拉伸你。夢想讓你越做越大，它們延伸你的想象。但是，目標(biāo)會(huì)拉伸你。它們提升你的技能、你的能力，而且改變你的一生。

Sometimes it only takes one step to change a dream into a goal. Yet, it can take years to take that goal to the finish line. Always dream big, but make sure your goals are just as big. Because dreams don’t come true… but goals do.

有時(shí)讓夢想變成目標(biāo)只需要一個(gè)步驟。然而，實(shí)現(xiàn)這一目標(biāo)可能需要數(shù)年時(shí)間。夢想要大，你的目標(biāo)一定也要大。因?yàn)閴粝氩荒艹烧?hellip;...但目標(biāo)可以。
