Visualization.

想象。

Whenever I feel like giving up, I visualize my dream materializing in front of me.

当我想要放弃的时候，我都会想像自己梦想成真。

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.

我会想像自己站在梦想的度假胜地，或者在我最爱的公司里面上班，或者正在品尝麻麻做的菜，或者开着我一度想要的车。我闭上眼睛，想像自己此刻正在做着一切我想做的。我像个孩子一样做白日梦。

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!

想这样想让我感觉有了全新的开始，给我很大的鼓励。但是在那之后，你应该重新朝着目标前进，而不是去看场电影。

I make a pros and cons list.

我会列一份利弊清单。

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.

我经常想要放弃。我经常认为我所做的并不值得继续下去，尤其是在我没有得到任何实质性成果时。

During that time, I make a pros and cons list, the pros usually outweigh the cons, which instantly motivates me.

在此刻，我就会列出利弊清单，利通常大于弊，这可以激励我继续前进。
