2009年已悄然而至，又到了制定全年計劃的時候。你期待新的一年里有何收獲？你又有多少把握能夠勝算?新年新展望其實是個偽命題，因為你可以選擇在任何時刻開始你想要的生活，并且樂在其中。那么，在2009年的頭兩周里為自己確立一個新起點。確立自己在2009年年末所要達成的狀態(tài)，并制定至少3個你想要完成的目標，這樣做可以讓你感覺2009年是個富有成就的一年。或許,你打算找一個自己喜歡的工作，或者，在你所喜愛的工作上有所超越。如何在工作和生活中尋找到平衡？如何改善你的財務狀況？如何尋找到并承諾達成一種理想的關(guān)系。怎樣才能順利渡過當前所謂的信貸緊縮困境？
2009 is now here and it is time to start planning for this New Year. Just what do you want from the coming year? How sure are you to achieve your New Year resolutions? Getting a fresh start with the New Year is an artificial custom - you can begin to get the life you love and live it at any time you choose. But let the first couple of weeks of January 2009 be the starting point for a new you. Envision yourself at the end of the year and describe at least 3 achievements you would like to have achieved to make you feel that 2009 had been a successful one. Maybe this year you are going to find work that you love. Or you may want to excel even more at the job you love. How about getting a good balance between your work and leisure time? What about galvanising your financial situation? How about finding and committing to a dream relationship? How can you make the most of your life through the so-called credit crunch?
從現(xiàn)在起，讓自己在2009年乃至將來變得富有活力。相信并告訴自己：我可以做到并得到我想要的一切。展示出你的自信，他人也會因此而相信你。全力以赴，向著2009的目標進發(fā)！
Get motivated right now to make the most of 2009 and indeed the rest of your life. Believe in yourself. Know that you can do and have anything you want. Ooze with self belief and others too will believe in you. Go all out for it in 2009!
1.集中精力花一段時間，列出你在生活中的不同領(lǐng)域所要達成的目標——短期、中期和長期的。將它們寫下來——這意味著你增加了這些目標實現(xiàn)的可能性，并盡可能做出具體詳盡的描述。
1. Spend some quality time on your own and reflect on your goals in all areas of your life – short, medium and long term. Write these down – you increase your chances of materialising them, once written down. Be very specific, and as descriptive as you can.
2.用大號加粗字體寫下你最重要的3個目標，把它們貼在床頭、廚房或你的電腦等顯眼處。象這樣讓目標隨處可見，可以時刻提醒你:你何時以及如何去做才能達到目標。
2. Write down your three main goals in big bold letters and hang up next to your bedside, in the kitchen, by your pc, etc. Having them visible like this keeps in the forefront of your mind exactly what you need to achieve by when, and what you must do to make it happen.
3.在2009年頭三個月中快速確定達成目標的關(guān)鍵步驟。切合實際，制定出完成每個步驟的時限，同時也讓你發(fā)揮最大能力。定期跟蹤計劃的進展情況，每天，每周或者每月。
3. Identify quickly the key steps in the first three months of 2009 to move you towards your goals. Make the steps realistic for the time frame, but ones that stretch you at the same time. Track your progress on a regular basis, maybe on a daily, weekly or monthly basis.
4.制定一個行動計劃，并采取堅持不懈的行動。如果有可能，現(xiàn)在或者今天就開始行動。走出第一步——你將會在生活的方方面面察覺到由此而產(chǎn)生的高昂的熱情和足夠的信心。不用等待來自于他人的鼓勵——只要著手去做，即使它很微小，卻會帶你向著下一步進發(fā)。
4. Create an action plan and take regular action. Start today and if possible, start right away. Take that first step – you will immediately generate a lot of enthusiasm & confidence in this and other areas of your life. Do not wait around to be inspired – just get on with doing things, even if it is a small step and that will lead to further steps.
5.用一種全新的視角去看待生活。比如，做個計劃，在2009年的頭6個月里掙得全年的錢。給今年定個主題，如“擺脫負債”或"有史以來最放松”等等。同時，確保給自己留出充足的活力時間——現(xiàn)在就預訂度假，并和你喜愛的人兒去享受完美的周末時光。
5. Look at your life in a new way. For example, plan to make all the money you need in 2009 within the first six months. Develop a new theme for the year such as making it “debt free” or “most chilled out ever”. At the same time, ensure you give yourself enough nurturing time – book your holidays right now and plan to spend quality weekends with your loved ones.
6.消除干擾消耗你精力的影響來源。細心洞察，找到那些能消耗你精力的情境、地點、人物或其它種種，并逐步消除這些影響。
6. Let go of things that drain you. Look at those situations, places, people or anything else that drain your energy, and eliminate them gradually.
7.在身邊形成一個強有力的支持團隊。對于那些與你產(chǎn)生共鳴和將要支持你實現(xiàn)目標的朋友，你要讓自己變得富有責任感。找到一群志同道合的朋友——與他們之間建立起一種強大的、富有活力的支持關(guān)系。這就需要你重新篩選朋友并建立起新的友誼。
7. Establish a support team around you. Make yourself accountable to someone who resonates with your goals and will support you in achieving them. Find like minded people - and develop powerful, supportive and energising relationships. This may require you to upgrade your friends and build new relationships.
8.從榜樣身上獲得經(jīng)驗。效仿那些和你有著同樣目標而已經(jīng)達到目標的人。在自己的行動中運用他們的經(jīng)驗和原則，從而快速確立你在2009年的目標。
8. Learn from your role models. Emulate those who have already achieved what you are aspiring to. Apply their lessons and principles to yourself, and thereby fast track your achievements in 2009.
9.塑造你的外在形象。關(guān)注一下著裝、發(fā)型或其它任何有助于塑造你個性的外在因素。從給眾人展示出一個成功者的形象做起，那么你的2009年也會變得成功。
9. Spruce up your image. Look at everything about you such as your clothes, haircut and other things about your personal brand. Start giving the impression of being successful and you will be during the course of 2009.
10.保持冷靜。也許，當你發(fā)現(xiàn)沒有足夠的時間去面對一切時，你會變得不知所措。這時，重新審視你的步驟和優(yōu)先項，并把重點放在最重要的步驟中去。
10. Keep your cool and chill out. You may get overwhelmed at times and find that there is just not sufficient time for everything. Review your commitments and priorities and refocus on the most important steps.
11.慶祝你的成功。時刻保持認知：你正在做的事情非常好。獎勵并善待自己，用最好的方式來為自己慶祝。
11. Celebrate your successes. Acknowledge yourself and know that you are doing really well. Reward and pamper yourself. Choose to celebrate in the best way for you.
12.尋找超越并改善自我的途徑。你身邊有許多有助于自我提升的途徑，如書籍、雜志、網(wǎng)絡等等。讓2009年成為你發(fā)展、增長并實現(xiàn)自己潛力的一年吧。
12. Find ways to excel and to improve yourself. There are numerous self help resources around you such as books, magazines, websites and so on. Make 2009 the year that you evolve, grow and fulfil your potential.
最重要的是：讓自己友善并溫和地看待已經(jīng)逝去的2008。保持耐心，讓生活如含苞待放的花蕾。學會開懷大笑——畢竟生活的目的是為了得到樂趣。發(fā)現(xiàn)自己潛在的幽默，不要把生活想象地過于沉重。
Most importantly remember at all times to be kind and gentle with yourself in 2008. Have patience and let your life unfold like a budding flower. Laugh a lot – after all life is meant to be fun. Develop a sense of humour and do not take life so seriously.
擁有一個美好的年景，永遠不會太早或太晚。在2009年余下的時光里，以你希望的方式開始吧。
It is never too late or too early to have a great year. Start 2009 the way you want to carry on during the rest of the year.
祝愿你擁有一個美好的新年。讓2009年成為你最美好的一年。得到你所喜愛的生活并享受它——這是你應該得到的。
I wish you all a fabulous New Year. Make 2009 your best year ever. Get the life you love and live it – you know you deserve it.
下面是我想要與你們分享的一段話，無論是在2009年還是將來：
Here are my final words for you to inspire you in 2009 - and for the rest of your life:-
“要記住，你的生命舉足輕重——創(chuàng)造機會讓它變得很重要。你是獨一無二的。在這個星球上沒有人與你相同，從來都沒有，而且以后也不會有。
“Remember that your life counts – and make it count. You are unique. There is no one like you on this planet. Never has been and never will be.
不要低估你自己，也不要看空世間種種，這是你的生活——熱愛它，并樂在其中。生命只有一次，機會一去不回——牢牢抓緊它?！?br> Do not sell your self short. Do not sell the world short. This is your life – love it, live it. One life, one chance – grab it. Get the life you love – and live it.”
