对你的选择负责任，这是我从众多的成功学者，成功学书籍中，看到过听到过最好的原则论述。心灵鸡汤的作者Jack Canfield说过要为你的人生承担100%的责任，高效能人士的七项习惯的作者柯维说过要操之在我，如今新一代成功学大师Chris Widener再一次地强调，你可以达成任何你自己的选择结果！今天一位学习英语的朋友，告诉我她要继续自己的学习计划，我回答OK。或许对她来说回答过于简单。但是我要传递的信息就是，放弃是你自己的选择，继续坚持下去也是你自己的选择，因为无论是放弃还是继续坚持，所带来的结果也都只能由自己承担和收获！

早上等公交车时，见到一位女孩子拿着一本新东方的单词书在背诵，一会儿抬头看看车有没有来，一会儿低下头背诵两个单词。这是她的选择，我相信收获的时候，她也一定会很自豪的想到，这就是她自己利用点点滴滴时间学习英语的结果！

You Can Achieve Whatever You Choose To!   By Chris Widener

      I have one firm belief that was drilled into my head by my mother: You can achieve whatever you choose to! It is true. Here are some facts:

五星动词：

Drill：钻（孔）, 打眼（尤指用钻机）: 训练（某人）; 操练; 演习。

※They're drilling a new tunnel under the Thames. 在泰晤士河河床下钻凿一条新隧道.

※The well-drilled crew managed to rescue most of the passengers. 训练有素的机组人员设法营救出了大部分乘客.

Wherever you are right now, is because you chose to be there (even if situations went sour on you and you feel like a victim of circumstances, go back far enough and you will see that choices brought you to where you were).

五星名词

victim ：受害者；(fig 比喻) 受骗者; 遭愚弄的人:

※the victim of a hoax, practical joke, conspiracy, etc 在骗局、 恶作剧、 阴谋等中上当的人.

Whatever you choose to do, you can do. Even if you are far down a road you don’t want to be on, you can make choices, though they may be hard, to change direction.

With that in mind, let’s talk about the coming years of your life. Are you where you want to be? If so, great. If not, then understand this: Your choices got you to where you are and they can take you to where you want to be! That is powerful if we look at it in the positive!

Here are a couple of examples:

You earn what you choose to. Don’t like your pay? Choose a different profession! I have long said that anybody can make $150,000 a year guaranteed, if they want to. They can quit their job, finish college and go to medical school. “But that would take years,” you say? I never said your choice would be easy ?C just possible! The point is, you CAN do it. You no longer have to be the victim!

You spend your time the way you choose to. “But I have no time,” you say? No, you have as much time as any sports hero, business leader or president of a country ?C 24 hours a day! Imagine that, you have as much time as those people who shape the world. What is the difference? It is in how we choose to spend and prioritize our time. You can do whatever you choose to, and live whatever kind of life you desire, if you choose to reprioritize your time and how you spend it! That is so freeing!

成功动词：

Prioritize：把...区分优先次序

※Everyone should take time to be alone, to prioritize and meditate. 每个人都应该找时间独处,理出优先顺序和静思

There are many more examples I could give but I want to give you the key principle and then some questions to spur you on to make powerful choices that will shape your life. Take some time to go through these and begin to make the choices you need to live the kind of life you want to!

Key Principle: We must take responsibility for our life and understand that we can, and will, achieve whatever we ourselves choose to.

Q. What kind of income will you choose to have in the next 5 years? What will you do, what specific action will you take, to make that choice?

Q. What career will you have in the next 5 years? What will you do, what specific action will you take, to make that choice?

Q. What kind of family life will you have in the next 5 years? What will you do, what specific action will you take, to make that choice?

Q. What kind of emotional and intellectual state will you be in for the next 5 years? What will you do, what specific action will you take, to make that choice?

Q. What kind of spiritual state will you be in for the next 5 years? What will you do, what specific action will you take, to make that choice?

Q. What will be your physical state of being for the next 5 years? What will you do, what specific action will you take, to make that choice?

Remember, you can achieve whatever you choose to ?C and you do!
