想象。

Whenever I feel like giving up, I visualize my dream materializing in front of me.
當我想要放棄的時候，我都會想像自己夢想成真。

I imagine I am standing right there looking at my dream vacation place, or spinning the chair at my favorite company, or eating my favorite mom-made dish, or driving that one car I've always wanted. I close my eyes and imagine myself doing what I want to do. I make-believe, like a kid.
我會想像自己站在夢想的度假勝地，或者在我最愛的公司里面上班，或者正在品嘗麻麻做的菜，或者開著我一度想要的車。我閉上眼睛，想像自己此刻正在做著一切我想做的。我像個孩子一樣做白日夢。

This gives me a head start and a much-needed motivation straightaway. But then, you've got to work for your goal too! You cannot just go watch a movie after that!
想這樣想讓我感覺有了全新的開始，給我很大的鼓勵。但是在那之后，你應(yīng)該重新朝著目標前進，而不是去看場電影。

I make a pros and cons list.
我會列一份利弊清單。

I often feel the need to give up. I often feel that it's not worth doing whatever it is that I'm doing, especially if I'm not getting any results.
我經(jīng)常想要放棄。我經(jīng)常認為我所做的并不值得繼續(xù)下去，尤其是在我沒有得到任何實質(zhì)性成果時。

During that time, I make a pros and cons list, the pros usually outweigh the cons, which instantly motivates me.
在此刻，我就會列出利弊清單，利通常大于弊，這可以激勵我繼續(xù)前進。
