4) Make a public commitment to accomplishing your goal.
把目标“说”出来
There is a power in stating our goal to others. It is a public commitment that you will achieve what you have stated that you will. It takes it out of your head and puts it out into the world. This creates a sense of responsibility on our part because we do not wish to disappoint others. It should be in the form of a definitive statement. Instead of “I am trying to reduce my waist down two sizes,” try instead “I will lose two waist sizes in the next two weeks.” This sends the message of a definitive rather than a wish. There is little room for doubt in a definitive statement. 把你的目标告诉别人,这就带来一股力量。因为告诉别人就是一种公众承诺,表示你将实现你的话。这样就把目标从你的脑子放到现实世界里。这会让人们产生一种责任感,因为他们不愿意让别人失望。告诉别人你的目标要用确定性的语气。不要说“我要试试把腰围减两个尺码”,要说“我要在两周后把我的腰围减两个尺码”。这就表示一种决心,而不是仅仅一种愿望。表示了决心,就没有犹疑的余地了。
