The year end is coming, before we move on to the new year, it’s high time for all of us to do a review for the year. To me, doing this annual review is like getting a report card. It’s no different with my annual review – except these results aren’t for my studies – they’re bigger. They’re for my life.
時(shí)間轉(zhuǎn)瞬到年底,在我們步入新的一年之前,我們所有人都應(yīng)該對(duì)這一年做個(gè)回顧總結(jié)。對(duì)于我來說,年終總結(jié)就算是拿成績單。年終總結(jié)和成績單一樣,只不過收獲的并不是學(xué)習(xí)成績,它們更重要,是關(guān)于我的人生的總結(jié)。

Importance of Year End Reviews
年終總結(jié)的重要性

So why is it important to do a year end review? There are 4 simple reasons:
年終總結(jié)為什么這么重要?有這樣四個(gè)簡單的理由:

1. Draw lessons from the year
從一年中吸取經(jīng)驗(yàn)教訓(xùn)

What have you experienced this year? What have you learned from them? With every experience we face, there are important things to learn. We can either let these incidences pass us by, or we can stop to understand, internalize them, and draw lessons from them. Life is your school, and the lessons are dressed up as your everyday incidences. You don’t want to be living year after year without learning from your experiences. That’s just sleepwalking your life away.
2011這一年,你經(jīng)歷了些什么?從中你又學(xué)到了些什么?我們面對(duì)的每一次經(jīng)歷,都有一些重要的東西值得學(xué)習(xí),我們可能會(huì)讓發(fā)生的這些事情就從我們的生命中匆匆而過,或者我們也可以選擇停下來,理解并消化這些經(jīng)歷,從中學(xué)到經(jīng)驗(yàn)教訓(xùn)。生活就是你的學(xué)校,這些經(jīng)驗(yàn)教訓(xùn)會(huì)假扮成每天的瑣事。你也不想年復(fù)一年只是過生活,卻從不從經(jīng)歷中學(xué)到些什么吧,那樣的話,你只是在夢游度日。

There are a lot of lessons which I learn every year. Looking back at my review for 2007, one of the biggest lessons I learned is that our reactions to life’s situations is a choice, and it’s up to how we make out of situations we encounter. This realization came after a highly intense period at my job. At that time I was already a positive person, but the situation was so out of control that it really made me negative. It was after a short period of feeling miserable that I realized that the reality was such and it was up to me to make the best out of it. I could either sit and bitch about it which would do absolutely nothing to change the situation, or I could take action and make the best out of it. This small shift in my mindset created a big shift in my reality – it made me a lot more proactive and solution-oriented. It made me realize that many of us generate unnecessary baggage with negative situations in life, and it’s all about taking action to create the lives that we want. Happiness is truly a choice.
每年我都能學(xué)到很多。現(xiàn)在回頭看看我2007年的總結(jié),我學(xué)到的最重要的一課是“我們對(duì)生活環(huán)境的反應(yīng)是一種選擇”,取決于我們?nèi)绾谓鉀Q遇到的情況。這種感悟是在我的工作經(jīng)歷了一段高度緊張的階段之后得出的。其實(shí)那時(shí)候我是個(gè)很積極向上的人,但是當(dāng)時(shí)的情況完全不在我的掌控下,讓我也變得消極了。有那么一小段時(shí)間,我覺得很痛苦,然后我就意識(shí)到,生活就是這樣,如何做到最好取決于我自己,我可以選擇干坐在那里抱怨牢騷,但這根本對(duì)改變現(xiàn)狀一點(diǎn)幫助都不起;我也可以選擇采取行動(dòng)做到最好。這樣簡單的心態(tài)轉(zhuǎn)變使我的生活出現(xiàn)了很大的改變:我變得更加主動(dòng),積極選擇解決問題的方法。這也讓我意識(shí)到,我們?cè)S多人在遇到不利狀況時(shí),總是背負(fù)了太多不必要的包袱,只要采取行動(dòng),我們就能創(chuàng)造想要的生活。幸福快樂其實(shí)只是個(gè)選擇。

Because I would write down lessons I learned each time (in my life handbook), I could then build upon my learnings. Rather than deja vuing through life situations, every time I would think about how I could apply what I had learned earlier and how I could do something different. As a result, I kept moving forward in my growth.
因?yàn)槲颐看味紩?huì)記下學(xué)到的經(jīng)驗(yàn)教訓(xùn)(在我的生活手冊(cè)里),所以我從所學(xué)中慢慢成長。每次總結(jié)后我都會(huì)想,下次遇到我會(huì)如何利用之前學(xué)到的改正錯(cuò)誤,而不是一次次的重復(fù)犯錯(cuò)栽跟頭。就這樣,我在成長的路上一步步前進(jìn)。

2. Wrap up what you’ve done this year
打包今年所做的事情

Many things can happen in a year and this is the perfect time to wrap them up. Were there any ups and downs? Did you get a promotion? Did you recently quit your job and joined a new workplace? Did you just start up a business? Did you move to a new place? Did you just end an unhappy relationship? Did you move on from a bad partnership? Any major events took place? Or perhaps there are nothing significant that happened?
每年都會(huì)發(fā)生許許多多的事情,現(xiàn)在就是你把之前的事情打包的最佳時(shí)機(jī)。生活中有一些起起落落?你升職了?最近剛辭職進(jìn)入新的工作環(huán)境?剛開始創(chuàng)業(yè)?搬到新地方?剛結(jié)束一段不快樂的感情?走出了一段很糟的伙伴關(guān)系?發(fā)生了很多大事?也或許沒什么重要的事情發(fā)生?

This is the time to wrap up the year. It’s time to let go of past baggage, tie up the loose ends, tidy up your feelings, and get ready for what’s ahead.
現(xiàn)在是該打包這一年了,也是時(shí)候放下這些過去的包袱,做一些收尾讓工作有始有終,收拾起情緒,準(zhǔn)備迎接即將到來的新一年。

3. Regain focus
重新找到重點(diǎn)

After working for a few years, you’d find that the years sort of just start to blend into each other. Soon it’s hard to tell one year apart from the next. Subsequently, it’s so easy to fall into a routine without being conscious of it. Sometimes I hear people commenting that they’re not sure what exactly they’ve been doing with the past few years of their lives, because everything just seems like the same.
工作了幾年后你會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn),每年似乎開始有些混在一起的感覺,很難把它們區(qū)分開來。然后不知不覺,工作就很容易變成例行公事的老套路。有時(shí)候我會(huì)聽到人們?cè)谡f,不知道過去的幾年具體都干了些什么,因?yàn)橐磺锌雌饋矶家粯印?/div>

It’s just like driving. When you’re driving in a car, it can be hard to see where you are and where you’re heading to. On the other hand, pausing for a short moment to look at the map can be amazingly helpful. Where are you right now? How far have you traveled? Where do you want to go to? Doing so helps you to regain focus.
這就像開車一樣。當(dāng)你開車的時(shí)候,很難看出來你開到哪和要去哪。而另一方面,如果你停下來看看地圖,你會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)超級(jí)有幫助。你現(xiàn)在正在哪兒?你走了有多遠(yuǎn)了?你想去哪兒?年終總結(jié)會(huì)幫你重新找到重點(diǎn)。

Like I mentioned above, doing my annual review is like getting the report card for my life. How do I grade myself for this year? Do I give myself an A+? A? B? C? D? or even F? This assessment reminds me if I have lived this year the way I had wanted to.
我之前提到過,寫年終總結(jié),就像拿成績單一樣。今年給自己打多少分?A+? A? B? C? D? 還是F? 這樣的自我評(píng)估會(huì)提醒我,讓我反思過去的一年是否是我想要的生活方式。

4. Start the next year on a high note
高起點(diǎn)開始下一年

Last but not least, your annual review will help you to start the next year on a high note. As I’m going to share later in the post, doing your review includes setting your goals for the next year. For this year 2011, my one single biggest goal was to build this blog. So this year, while other people were figuring out what to make out of their year, I was a person on a mission. By mid-year I had already exceeded some of my goals, and now that it’s the end of the year, I’ve accomplished what I had set out to do at the beginning, and more.
最后,年終總結(jié)會(huì)幫你從一個(gè)高起點(diǎn)開始下一年的工作和生活。正如我稍后要跟大家分享的,年終總結(jié)會(huì)包括你下一年的目標(biāo)。2011年我的最大目標(biāo)是建好這個(gè)博客,所以在這一年,當(dāng)其他人還在找尋到底該干些什么的時(shí)候,我已經(jīng)是一個(gè)有任務(wù)的人了。年中的時(shí)候我就已經(jīng)超額完成目標(biāo),現(xiàn)在到年末,我已經(jīng)完成了年初的目標(biāo),甚至做的更多。

Exercise: Write Your Year End Review for 2013
練習(xí):寫下你的2013年終總結(jié)

Let’s get started on your year end review for this year!
從今年開始寫下你的年終總結(jié)吧!

Take out your life handbook, or if you don’t have your life handbook, take out any notebook or blank piece of paper. If you have a blog, you can copy the questions and answer them in your blog entry.
拿出生活手冊(cè),如果沒有的話,就隨便拿本筆記本或是張白紙。如果有博客,也可以把這些問題復(fù)制過去在你的博客里回答。

Set aside some quiet time with yourself, for 30-45 minutes or so. Now, write your answers to the following 6 questions:
給自己留出30到45分鐘的安靜時(shí)間,現(xiàn)在寫下對(duì)這6個(gè)問題的回答:

1. What are your biggest accomplishments this year? (Accomplishments here refer to any results you are proud of)
今年你最大的收獲是什么?(這里的收獲指任何你感到驕傲的結(jié)果)

2. What are the biggest lessons you’ve learned this year?
今年最大的教訓(xùn)是什么?

3. On a scale of 1-10, how satisfied are you with how you spent the year? (Or if you prefer giving grades, what grade would you give yourself for how this year turned out, between F- to A+?) Why?
如果讓你從1到10給自己打分,今年你對(duì)自己的滿意程度是幾分?(如果你喜歡分等級(jí)的話,那么從F-到A+你今年表現(xiàn)怎么樣呢?)為什么?

4. What do you want to accomplish next year, such that it’s your best year ever? Alternatively:

What does it take to make you feel a 10/10 satisfaction level at the end of next year?
到明年年底,什么事情會(huì)讓你對(duì)自己百分百滿意?

5. What new habits to cultivate that will help you to achieve your goals in Q4?
為了實(shí)現(xiàn)第四個(gè)問題中的目標(biāo),你應(yīng)該培養(yǎng)那些新習(xí)慣?

6. What are your immediate next steps to achieve these goals?
為了實(shí)現(xiàn)這些目標(biāo),下一步你馬上會(huì)進(jìn)行什么?

Take as much time as you need to write your review. These are the very same questions I use for my personal review every year, so I’ve no doubt that you’ll find them useful in yours.
寫年終總結(jié)別著急,慢慢來。每年我都會(huì)拿這些問題來問自己,所以我肯定你們會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)這些問題很有用。

If you want, you can get started with questions 1-3 first, which are more reflection questions for the year. Spend a couple of days to think about them, before moving to questions 4-6, which are about the year ahead.
如果愿意的話,可以先從問題1到3開始,這些都是更值得思考的年終問題?;ㄉ蠋滋鞎r(shí)間想一想,然后再回答問題4到6,這些是關(guān)于你來年的計(jì)劃。
