孩子需要肯定之為快樂而做

( To continue)

Instead ---

Focus on Learning. Instead of making a goal to achieve more in your job, decide instead to read and learn how to do one new thing each week.

Focus on Time. Schedule your time to include what's important to you, like reading time, or exercise time, or family time, or learning time.

Focus on the Why. Instead of just forcing yourself to mop the kitchen floor, tap into the higher goal that mopping the kitchen floor supports (having a clean and healthy home).

How does that feel? Not bad, huh! If you focus on the pleasure that a desire gives you, you'll find it easier to put in the work that it takes. (One author gives the example of giving blood --- while the experience itself may be less than pleasant, the joy comes in knowing "why" you're doing it).

And I absolutely guarantee that you will achieve more, maintain your efforts, and have a much better journey along the way.

Over the next 12 months, instead of focusing on the effort, FOCUS ON THE JOY. Focus on the people and things that are most important to you. Focus on the pleasure you get out of moving towards your goals. Focus on the process of creating something, not what results you expect.

Invest in yourself more than you ever thought was allowed. Not only will you reap rewards, but those around you will benefit more than you ever believed. ( finished)

(續(xù))相反――

注重學(xué)習(xí)。不要為自己的工作定一個(gè)目標(biāo)，以取得更多的成績(jī)，而是下決心每周讀書或者學(xué)會(huì)做一件新的事情。

注重時(shí)間。把一些重要的事情安排到你的日程中，例如讀書時(shí)間、鍛煉時(shí)間、與家人團(tuán)聚的時(shí)間，或者學(xué)習(xí)時(shí)間。

注重原因。不要強(qiáng)迫自己去拖廚房的地板，選擇更高的目標(biāo)(擁有一個(gè)清潔健康的家庭)。

你覺得怎么樣?不錯(cuò)吧?哈哈!如果你注重自己所期望的歡樂，你會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)深入工作中很容易。(一位作家舉了獻(xiàn)血的例子――體驗(yàn)本身可能不是那么有趣，快樂源于清楚自己這么做的原因)。

我絕對(duì)敢保證你會(huì)得到更多，繼續(xù)努力，你會(huì)擁有更好的經(jīng)歷。

來年的12個(gè)月，不要只注重苦干了，要注重歡樂。注重對(duì)你來說最重要的人和事物。注重你在取得目標(biāo)的過程中所得到的歡樂。注重創(chuàng)造事物的過程，而不是你期望得到的結(jié)果。

賦予自己比所期望的更多，不但你能收到回報(bào)，而且超出你的想象，連你周圍的人也會(huì)受益。(完)
