I’ve used various techniques for goal setting throughout my career but after 30 years I’ve determined that it really comes down to a simple three-step process.
在我的职业生涯中我用过各种方式来设定目标，但30后我(还是)决定把它们归纳为简单的“三步曲”。
Step 1. Make a list of the categories important to you. Identify the areas of your life where you need to establish goals. Use the category list above and add others that may be unique to your situation.
第一步：将你认为重要的(人生)范畴列在一张单子上。辨别出你生活中那些需要活出目标的地方。参照上面的列表，加上专属于你的一些情况。
Step 2. Follow the six basic elements. What are the BIG picture goals that are important for you to achieve? Make sure they are written, specific, measurable, realistic, and have deadlines.
第二步：遵循六项基本要素。你将实现的几大人生目标都是什么呢？确保它们被记录得详尽、可行、真实，并且要有截止日期。
Step 3. Put together your plan. A well-developed action plan clarifies the things you need to do in order to achieve your goal, outlines a prioritized sequence of steps and serves as a method of measuring your progress to ensure that you are on the right track. I strongly encourage you to read these two prior blog posts to help you design your plan.
第三步：组织好你的计划。一个设计好的可行方案会令你：清楚地知道哪些事情能帮你实现目标，大致要先做什么后做什么，保障你的每个进程都行在正轨上。我强烈推荐你们阅读前面的两篇博客来帮你设计出自己的方案。

If you want to feel like you are in control of your life and increase the odds of achieving the things that are most important to you, please take time to complete this exercise. Don’t blow off this lesson. Goal setting is FUNDAMENTAL to achievement.
如果你想自己来掌控生活，为实现自己最重要的目标增添砝码，请花点时间完成这项练习。不要浪费了这堂课。目标设立是走向成功的基础。
The definition of insanity is doing the same things over and over again, but expecting different results. If you are not where you had hoped you would be at this time in your life, then why not take the time to set your goals and put together a plan to achieve them? What have you got to lose?
神经错乱的定义是不停地重复做相同的事，而期待的却是不同的各种结果。如果你现在的生活并不是你曾经期待的，你可能也处在你人生中的错乱中，那为什么不花点时间摆正你的目标，然后组织一个方案来实现它们呢？你不会有损失的。
What’s more important to you — watching TV, communicating with your friends on Facebook or taking the time to design your future? What you choose to do with your time will tell you the answer.
对你来说哪个更重要——看电视，在脸谱网上和朋友互动，还是用功设计你的未来？你如何安排你的时间会给你一个答案的。
