　　测试你的梦想

　　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.

　　你觉得最主导的梦想是什么?你想知道实现梦想的概率吗?三分钟内你将会知晓答案。

　　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.

　　由于我渴望继续学习和成长，上周我参加了由Burg and Paul Martinelli主持的和我最喜欢的三个老师 Les Brown, Bob Burg and Dr. John C. Maxwell主讲的领导力课程。

　　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(国际上很受尊重的领导力专家，演说家，作家)在他的书中给出了一个不可见的存在感，就是把梦想放进这个测试里。他说，你想实现梦想的有效地原因越多，你实现梦想的可能性就越大。

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

　　他强调了梦想测试里10个你一定要回答的10个很重要的问题。

　　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.

　　你准备好测试了吗?选一个梦想。明白了吗?现在回答 Maxwell博士的10个问题测试你胜的几率。

　　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.

　　梦想真的是我的梦想吗?如果你想要实现梦想，你必须要拥有梦想。梦想一定是你的，而不是父母的，老师的或者其他人的。如果实现梦想对你意义不大，你就不大可能去做那些实现梦想所需要做的事情。

　　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.

　　你能清楚的看到梦想吗?他长什么样子?你对你的梦想看的越具体，实现他的可能性就越大。这是我鼓励人们去裁剪出他们的梦想，拼贴成画，并经常注视他的一个原因。可能刚开始你只看到你梦想的一部分，但是你每天走进一点，你的梦想也会变得清晰一点。

　　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?

　　你所依赖的事情全在你的掌控中吗?你必须对自己诚实，明确实现梦想的过程是否在你的掌控中。你会依赖他人吗?如果有，是谁?你有天赋，技能或者能力让梦想成真吗?如果没有，你会培养你缺少的东西吗?

　　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?

　　你有精力去实现梦想吗?这是关乎激情的问题。回想下你上次的成功，他花费了你多少精力?你的梦想对你足够重要到你优先把精力放在实现它的过程中吗?

　　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.你有战略吗?我知道很少有人会为了梦想制定一个具体的计划，我经常会畏惧，想着“毫无规划你怎么就认为你会实现梦想呢?”一个计划列举出了你想实现梦想必须要做的事情的优先顺序。

　　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.我周围哪些人能帮到我?Maxwel博士说，噩梦是大梦想背后却有着差的团队。你团队里谁能支持、鼓励、帮助你?如果你团队里没有合适的人，就联系你欣赏和尊重的人，然后在决定他们怎么来帮助你。

　　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.你愿意付出代价吗?当你对自己做了个自我剖析之后你问自己“我愿意为了梦想去做一切我所需要的事情吗?梦想越大，对你的要求也会越高。你甘愿付出努力、克服困境、处理人生路上你面临的失望吗?

　　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.我离梦想更进一步了吗?这是一个顽固的话题。与昨天相比我离梦想更近一步了吗?与前天相比我昨天离梦想更近了吗?看看你上周列出的要做的事情的清单肯定你为实现梦想已经采取的措施。

　　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.朝向梦想途中所作出的成果能带来满足感吗?如果你在追梦途中没有收获成长，可能是时候去追寻一个新的梦想啦。你的旅程一定会令人满足的。

　　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.我的梦想能为他人带来好处吗?如果能，给谁带来好处，为什么能带来好处?如果你的梦想仅是你私人的愿望，很有可能不被大家意识到。美国历史上最为人知的销售导师Zig Ziglar曾说过，当你帮助他人获得他们想要的，你就会得到你想要的一切。

　　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?次数越多，你实现梦想的可能性越大。每个人都有把梦想形象化的能力--梦想是个有报酬的有好处的一个事情--大部分人都有能力去实现它。

　　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，实现梦想的可能性有多大?如果不高，我们能做些什么提高可能性呢?你需要制定一个计划吗?你需要重新评估下付出吗?你需要一个新的支持团队吗?

　　“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曾说，能摸多高我就长多高，能探多远我就走多远，能看多深我就看多深，能做多少梦我就做多少梦。

　　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.

　　我鼓励你去打印这个讲座的内容，问自己这十个关于梦想或目标的问题。由于我们做不到合理的追求我们所有的愿望，我们需要明智的把重点放在我们只需要他通过测试的事情上。

　　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.

　　梦想来自于潜藏的愿望和可能性，每个人脑海中都有梦想，但是他需要决心，实际的计划，不懈的努力去实现它。去追梦吧，从今天开始。
