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 （监督）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 （认识）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.

The other day I was having a meal in an Italian restaurant when I got a phone call from a long lost friend. In my excitement I talked slightly than usual and in Spanish, my mother tongue. A few minutes into the the lady sitting at the table beside mine got up, seemingly , and asked the restaurant worker to find for her another as far away as possible from me. I in my seat out of embarrassment（尴尬）, feeling the to go over and apologize（道歉）.

I looked around and the lady was alone and staring out the window at the table furthest away from me. I was about to stand up when it hit me that she might prefer not to be . Right then I up my plans for a conventional（常规的） apology and decided to conduct an experiment. Seeing those Smile cards in my wallet I took one out. On signing my restaurant check I asked my waiter to charge the lady’s meal to my credit card and her a Smile card instead of her bill.

When I was I told the worker I would be back in a few hours to pick up my credit card and close the bill. I returned later as I promised, excited to learn the of the experiment. To my pleasant surprise, things the best possible way. The restaurant worker happily came up to me, telling me that for many times she had had dinner there before had they seen the old lady smile and laugh like she did receiving the Smile card and the $0 . She thanked the workers they explained that someone else did the job.

To top it off, the worker asked me about the Smile cards so as to conduct their own .

It was an interesting, fun experiment which may hopefully result in many more.
