Nietzsche once wrote that if we have a what for, every how becomes possible. When we have the what for, every how becomes possible.
尼采曾写道,只要我们有目标,一切皆有可能。只要我们有目标,一切皆有可能。
And we are much more likely to overcome difficulties and hardships, if we have a goal, a mission, something that we care about, something that we want to attain. Goals make us more successful for the exact same reason that positive beliefs do. What we are doing with goals with declaring that we believe we are going to get something.
我们更能克服困难,如果我们设定了目标、任务或是我们在意的事以及我们想实现的事。目标让我们更成功,就跟积极信念发挥作用的原因一样。有目标就代表我们相信我们会得到某样东西。
Roger Bannister declared, said that he would break the 4 minute barrier. Thomas Edison said that by the 31 of December, 1879, he would generate light from electricity.
罗杰·班尼斯特宣称他会打破四分钟的纪录。爱迪生曾说过,到1879年12月31日,他会发明出电灯。
Setting goals makes it more likely to come true. Because our mind does not like when the reason inconsistency between what is inside and what is outside. It wants there to be match. And if I believe in a goal and I declare a goal, the outside is likely to match that. Again, not 100 percent correlation as we've discussed, but certainly making it much more likely to happen, making us much more likely to be successful.
设定目标有助于成功,因为我们的思维不喜欢内部和外部不一致。而希望能相一致。如果我相信一个目标、对外宣告这个目标,那外部事物就会趋向于与这目标相一致。但正如我们探讨过的,并不会完全一致,但一定更有可能发生,这让我们更容易成功。
