What I do every time when I give a lecture is visualize.
我每次演讲总要设想一下
I imagine myself stand in front of the audience, calm, excited, passionate.
我想象自己站在观众前,冷静,激动,热情
And then when I go into the real thing, now I don't know if it is the real thing or I'm imaging, but I assume it's the real thing.
当我正式开始演讲时,现在我不知道这是真的还是想象的,但我假设这是真的
When I go into the real thing, I do feel that.
正式开始演讲时,我确实有同样的感受
I still get nervous, I still get anxious, but it's a healthy, excitement.
我仍然会紧张,仍然会焦虑,但这是健康的兴奋
Raising my levels of beliefs, levels of confidence by practicing,
通过练习提高了我的信心和自信水平
just like a flight... a pilot, you would hope... would practice in a simulator before they take you on across the Atlantic.
就像一个……一个飞行员会希望能在模拟环境中先练习,然后再飞越大西洋
The mind as a simulator, this is why it works.
思想是个模拟器,所以它能管用
The key here, this is a mistake that many people make, whether it's athletics or whether it's in the,
关键是……这有一个许多人都犯过的错误,无论是运动员或是
a lot of the self-help books that talked about visualizations.
许多关于形象化自励书籍中的记载
The key is to focused not just on the destination, Shelley Taylor, UCLA, did this research where she divided students in two random groups
关键是不仅仅只关注结果,加州大学洛杉矶分校的谢利·泰勒做了研究,把学生随机分成两组
One student imaging themselves getting an A on the exam and imagine it over and over again.
一个学生想象在考试中得到A,一遍遍地这样想象
The second group, imaging themselves getting an A but also saw themselves work and persist in the library,
第二组想象他们得到A,但也想象他们在图书馆坚持努力
prepare for it, and then, get to that final A.
为考试做准备,最后得到了A
The second group that imaging both the journey and the destination was much more successful, much better result in the exam.
第二组想象了过程和结果,他们更加成功,考试成绩更好
So visualize the journey as well as the destination, this is your response paper for this week,
想象过程和结果,这是你们这周的作业
to visualize both your destination of getting there, your journey of getting there, as well as the destination itself.
想象你们实现目的,你们实现目的的过程以及目的本身
