Do you have a vision for your career?

你对事业有远景规划吗？

While some people may get lucky and just happen to wind up on the road to success, others do not, and their lack of planning leads to a dead-end job. Read on to discover how you can choose what your career -- and your life -- can become.

虽然有些人也许会幸运地踏上成功的道路；而另一些人却没有，他们的缺乏规划导致工作走进了死胡同。下面的文章会给您一些建议，你怎样做选择，可以让自己的事业、生活成为什么样子。

Deciding what you want to do doesn't happen overnight, but, according to Deborah Brown-Volkman, the process can be simple. She says, "All of life's journeys begin with the phrase, 'I want... .' It's a very powerful phrase, and without it, it's hard to go very far."

想做什么不是短时间内能决定的，可是，根据狄波拉•布朗-沃克曼的观点，这个决定的过程也可以很容易。她说：“一切生活旅途都以‘我想……’开始。这是一个很有力的短语，没有它，很难坚持下去。”

The Road to Achievement

成功之路

Brown-Volkman, author of "Coach Yourself to a New Career," believes you can discover what you want through visualization. "Visualize where you see yourself in the future. It can reflect where you want to be tomorrow, next week, next year -- or beyond that."

《教自己开始新事业》一书作者布朗-沃克曼认为通过直观想想你能发现自己想要的是什么。“想象自己未来是什么样，这能反映出你明天、下周、明年或更久远的时间里希望自己如何。”

And, as many successful folks will tell you, if you can see it, you can be it. She confirms, "All goals are reached in the mind first. Being able to envision yourself achieving a goal will compel you to move forward and persevere during times of doubt. It gives you a reason to get out of bed every day!"

而且，许多成功人士会告诉你，如果你能想象到，就能成功。她强调：“一切目标都是首先在头脑中实现。能想象自己实现了一个目标将会迫使你朝目标前进；在有疑虑的时候让你坚持下去。它能为你每天从床上爬起来提供一个理由!”
