新年让一切变更好的10个目标

 　　Here are 10 Goals to Kickstart Your Life:

　　下面介绍让你2013年一切重新起航的10个目标：

　　1. Write Your Book

　　写本书

　　I believe that we all have a book inside us somewhere. You have probably thought of yours at some point. What will it take to document your story?

　　我相信在每个人内心的某处，都隐藏着一本书。有时也许你已经发现了自己的那一本。开始记录属于自己的故事吧！

　　2. Get in Shape

　　健身

　　When it comes to fitness, it always seems to get put off until tomorrow. Yet, tomorrow doesn’t get you in shape. And if you have been out-of-shape for years, it is not an overnight project to get healthy again. Yet, you can change your body for the better, and your health affects everything in your life.

　　锻炼身体总是会被我们放到明天再去做。明天可不能帮助你瘦身哦！如果你很多年都处于肥胖状态，那减肥这种事也不是一天两天就能搞定的。无论怎样，你可以改善自己的身体到较好的状态，毕竟你的健康影响着你生活中的一切。

　　3. Get Out of Debt

　　还清负债

　　Every day you put off addressing your debt is more money out of your pocket. You can get out of debt sooner than you think, although it will take sacrifice. Don’t put it off another day or another dollar.

　　每天你都在发牢骚，自己口袋里的钱远远还不清欠下的债务。其实你可以更快地还清，即使这意味着你要付出点代价。不要再拖延了！

　　4. Get Organized

　　有条理

　　Do you waste time constantly looking for misplaced items or trying to determine what you should be doing? Your organization affects your ability to get things done in almost every area of your life. Getting organized makes you more productive, and reduces your stress as well.

　　你是否总是浪费时间寻找某个放错地方的东西，抑或在努力下决心你应该做什么？条理性将会影响到你生活中方方面面的处事方式。保持清晰有条理的思路将会提高效率，减轻压力。

　　5. Manage Your Time Better

　　将时间管理做得更好

　　Are you getting things done, or are you spinning your wheels? Don’t waste your time on trivial activities and unimportant tasks. We all have the same amount of time, are you using yours to its full potential?

　　你把事情处理好了吗？还是只在原地转圈？不要将时间浪费在琐碎和次要的事务上。我们拥有的时间都是等量的，你有将自己的时间发挥到极致吗？

　　6. Live a More Meaningful Life

　　过更有意义的生活

　　Are you living a meaningful lifestyle? Life doesn’t have to be a day-to-day grind and mindless repetition. Live a purposeful life that abides¹ by your values and beliefs.

　　你的生活方式有意义吗？生活不应该是日复一日的折磨和百无聊赖的重复。去过一种有目标，能坚守自己价值和和信念的生活吧！

　　7. Start a business

　　创业

　　The best time to start a business was five years ago. The second best time is today. What are you waiting for?

　　创业的最佳时间其实是五年前，其次就是现在。你还在等什么？

　　8. Pursue Your Dreams

　　追逐自己的梦想

　　When we were kids, we all had dreams. What happened to yours? Big or small, they are worth doing. Pursuing your dreams can make all the difference in your life.

　　孩提时候我们都有梦想。你的梦想是什么？无论它远大还是渺小，都是值得追寻的。追寻梦想能使你的生活焕然一新。

　　9. Find Better Relationships

　　寻觅更好的感情

　　You are who you hang out with. Don’t settle in your relationships whether it is casual friends or your significant other. And remember, you get out… what you put in.

　　你的价值取决于你和谁在一起。不要安于你现在的人际关系圈，无论是普通朋友还是你的那位。记住，你投入什么，就会获得什么。

　　10. Get a Better Career
