Question

Why have you been so successful in reaching some of your goals, but not others? If you aren’t sure, you are far from being alone in your confusion. In fact, decades of research on achievement suggests that successful people reach their goals not simply because of who they are, but more often because of what they do. 1.

1．Get specific

When you set yourself a goal, try to be as specific as possible. "Lose 5 pounds" is a better goal than "lose some weight" because it gives you a clear idea of what success looks like. 2. Also, think about the specific actions that need to be taken to reach your goal.

2． 3.

Considering how busy most of us are, it's not surprising that we often miss opportunities to act on a goal because we simply fail to notice them. Did you really have no time to work out today? No chance at any point to return that phone call? Achieving your goal means seize these opportunities before they slip through your fingers.

3．Know exactly how far you have left to go

Achieving any goal also requires honest and regular monitoring （監(jiān)督）of your progress—if not by others, then by you yourself. If you don't know how well you are doing, you can't adjust your behavior accordingly. 4.

It is my hope that you have gained some insight （認(rèn)識）into all the things you have been doing right all along. Remember: 5. It’s never what you are, but what you do.

A．Wait for opportunities to appear．

B．Seize the moment to act on your goals.

C．Here are things successful people do differently.

D．Next I'll talk about my own experience on how to achieve success.

E．You don't need to become a different person to become a more successful one.

F．Check your progress frequently — weekly, or even daily, depending on the goal.

G．Knowing exactly what you want to achieve keeps you motivated until you get there.
