2. Have a dream. A big dream.
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
Your cause is a powerful source of motivation but it’s still abstract in nature. You need to make it concrete in the form of a dream. Imagine how the world will be in the future. Imagine how people will live and work.
Having a dream is important because it’s difficult to be motivated if you don’t have anything to shoot for. Just think about people who play basketball. Will they be motivated to play if there is no basket to aim at? I don’t think so. They need a goal. You need a goal. That’s what your dream is for.
But just having a dream is insufficient. Your dream must be big enough to inspire you. It must be realistic but challenging. It must stretch your ability beyond your comfort zone.
2.要有一个梦想。还要够大。
“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。”
你的目标动力对于激励来说是个挺有力的来源,但还是太抽象。你得把它具体化成一个梦想。想象一下未来的世界会怎样。想象一下人们怎么生活工作。如果你无的放矢,根本没法激励自己,所以做做白日梦还是挺重要的。想想打篮球的人。如果根本没有篮筐去投,谁还有动力啊?我看就没有了。他们需要目标。你也是。不然你白日梦拿来干嘛。
但光有白日梦还不够。这个梦得足够高远,那才能激励你。它得既现实主义又不是可以一蹴而就的。它还得能迫使你离开安逸的环境去大展身手。
