激励系列——为你的进程制图

为你的进程制图
最近我发表了我怎样制图，以跟进每一个目标的进程。这些图表不仅为我提供回顾和考察当前任务的信息，更是让我紧跟目标的激励机制。如果我每天都勤快地核对图表，打上点或者叉，我就会想把它们都打上点（表示完成），我会想着，“要想打上点今天我得把这事做了。”好了，这就是一个激励，虽然小却足以派上用场，相信我。有人喜欢用五角星；有人用训练日志，都很好，也可以试试乔的目标。总之，无论使用什么方法，都要紧跟计划，另外每次完成点什么，都不要吝啬给自己一点小骄傲。
（弥缝注：你也可以使用弥缝以前制作的《习惯培养清单》，或参考系列《什么是甘特图（Gantt Chart）》。）
当然，表格上也会有些不好的记录，没关系，别让它们阻碍你前进，化失落为取得下一个进展的动力。
长此以往，只要坚持这个激励技巧，就会取得许多好的记录，那将是世上最美妙的体验之一。

英语角——You’ve got to find what you love（你必须找到你所钟爱的）
英语角 July 11th, 2009
周末英语角，简单有意义的英语美文。
This is the text of the Commencement address by Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple Computer and of Pixar Animation Studios, delivered on June 12, 2005.
I am honored to be with you today at your commencement from one of the finest universities in the world. I never graduated from college. Truth be told, this is the closest I’ve ever gotten to a college graduation. Today I want to tell you three stories from my life. That’s it. No big deal. Just three stories.
The first story is about connecting the dots.
I dropped out of Reed College after the first 6 months, but then stayed around as a drop-in for another 18 months or so before I really quit. So why did I drop out?
It started before I was born. My biological mother was a young, unwed college graduate student, and she decided to put me up for adoption. She felt very strongly that I should be adopted by college graduates, so everything was all set for me to be adopted at birth by a lawyer and his wife. Except that when I popped out they decided at the last minute that they really wanted a girl. So my parents, who were on a waiting list, got a call in the middle of the night asking: “We have an unexpected baby boy; do you want him?” They said: “Of course.” My biological mother later found out that my mother had never graduated from college and that my father had never graduated from high school. She refused to sign the final adoption papers. She only relented a few months later when my parents promised that I would someday go to college.
