Learn Spanish? Finally quit smoking? Become a better cook? Whatever you've decided to achieve next year, you know all too well that you're probably going to fail, and that list of beautiful, aspirational goals is staying unfulfilled. Sorry.
想要學(xué)習(xí)西班牙語？要要戒煙？想成為一名好廚師？不管在接下來的一年你打算做什么，你都非常清楚自己有可能會(huì)失敗，那張寫得天花亂墜的，令人振奮的目標(biāo)列表依舊無法實(shí)現(xiàn)。

For this very reason some people forgo making any resolutions altogether, so we're here to help - this year you might actually have a chance, with help from a few tricks of the mind.
因?yàn)檫@個(gè)，很多人不在為自己設(shè)定目標(biāo)了，所以我們就來幫忙啦！牢記以下幾個(gè)要點(diǎn)，你今年可能就有可能成功。
Before we get into the list, it turns out the number one thing to stop relying on is your own willpower - that's basically the worst approach to keeping a resolution, and is the reason why so many of us never start exercising more, continue eating all that fried chicken, and still can't speak a word of French.
在揭曉這份列表之前，我們要說的是，首先你最不應(yīng)該依賴的就是自己的意志力了--基本上這是堅(jiān)持奮斗目標(biāo)最糟糕的方法了，而且這也是大多數(shù)人不能堅(jiān)持鍛煉，卻一直吃炸雞。一直不會(huì)講法語的原因。
What should you be doing instead? As Wiseman explained on his blog back in 2013, your goals should be small and manageable, you should document your success, tell others about your intentions, and, importantly, not beat yourself up for failing. Here’s the complete list of Wiseman’s advice:
那我們應(yīng)該怎么做呢？?2013年Wiseman 教育網(wǎng)在其微博上寫道，你應(yīng)該設(shè)定比較小一點(diǎn)的易于管理的目標(biāo)，你應(yīng)該記錄下你的成功，告訴別人你的打算，并且，重要的是，就算失敗了也不要責(zé)難自己。以下是 Wiseman 教育網(wǎng)列出的一份完整列表：
1) If possible, make only one resolution - changing a lot of things at once is more difficult.
（1）如果可能的話，只設(shè)定一個(gè)目標(biāo)--一次性改變太多的東西更加不容易。
2) Think about your resolutions in advance, and spend some time to reflect on them.
（2）要提前思慮周全，要花時(shí)間反省。
3) Don’t re-visit past failures, but focus on new resolutions instead.
（3）不要總想著之前的失敗經(jīng)歷，而是要關(guān)注新的計(jì)劃目標(biāo)。
4) Focus on what you really want - don’t just go with what’s trendy.
（4）注重自己的真實(shí)所求而不是隨波逐流。
5) Break your goal into manageable, concrete steps with specific deadlines.
（5）將自己的目標(biāo)變得可管理，設(shè)定期限完成自己的每一步。
6) Go public - tell your friends, family, social networks about your goals, which will increase your fear of failure and also garner support.
（6）公之于眾--告訴你的朋友、家人，在社交網(wǎng)絡(luò)上分享自己的目標(biāo)，那樣就可以使你更懼怕失敗也會(huì)讓你獲得更多的支持。
7) Create a checklist focusing on how much better your life will be once you’ve achieved your goals.
（7）列一份列表，寫下完成目標(biāo)以后你的生活會(huì)變得多么美好。
8) Whenever you make progress on the steps towards your goal, give yourself a small reward.
（8）只要離自己的目標(biāo)更近一步，給一個(gè)自己小小的獎(jiǎng)勵(lì)。
9) Document your journey - charts, spreadsheets, journals and other means of tracking your progress will keep it concrete.
（9）記錄下你的旅程--用圖表、電子表格、日記或是其它的方式記錄下自己的進(jìn)程會(huì)讓你的目標(biāo)一步一個(gè)腳印。
10) Don’t beat yourself up and quit if you sometimes revert to old habits - treat it as a temporary setback.
（10）若你重拾舊習(xí)，不要責(zé)怪自己并放棄--把這當(dāng)做一個(gè)暫時(shí)的小挫折就好。
