决定目标
Think a minute! A man was cleaning his car with a special brush when a little girl who had been watching him said, “My daddy has a brush like that to clean his car too.” “Really!” said the man. “What kind of car does your daddy have?” The little girl answered, “Oh, he hasn’t got the car yet, but he’s got the brush to clean it.” Well, I suppose you have to start somewhere! The important thing is that you do get started. And to do that, we first have to decide what kind of life we want. It’s strange how many of us want to live forever, when we can’t even decide what to do with our life now! Like the guy who said, “I’m going to stop putting things off, starting tomorrow.”
You see, even if others have made decisions for you, you can still decide how you’ll respond and handle the life that’s been handed to you. You still have control of your own attitudes. Happiness is an attitude and choice, no matter what situation you’re in. Remember, you can always find someone worse off than you whom you can help. It’s only when we stop looking at our own problems and reach out to make others happy, that we ourselves can be truly happy. But if you choose not to make a decision that also is your decision you’ll live with. There are many smart, talented people who have never enjoyed the success they could have, simply because they could not make a decision and discipline themselves to follow through with it.
Remember, if your life doesn’t change, it’s going stay the same! It’s that simple. So to move on from where you are, you must first decide where you’d rather be. If you can’t change your mind, you can’t change your life. The great writer Tolstoy said, “Everyone wants to change the world, but no one wants to change himself.” So ask yourself right now: What’s the one decision I need to make to change my life? Just think a minute…
请想一分钟！一个男人用一种很特别的刷子洗车，一位一直在旁看着的小女孩对他说：“我爸爸也有这样一把洗车的刷子。”那个男人说：“真的吗？你爸爸开的是什么车？”小女孩回答：“哦，他还没有车，可他已经有了洗车的刷子。”我想，万事都有一个起点，最重要的是你在起点出发。奇怪的是，我们许多人想长生不老，却不能决定眼前的生活中该做些什么。就像一位老兄所说：“我会‘今日事今日毕’，但让我从明天开始做起吧。”
你瞧，即使他人为你做出决定，你依然可有决定自己将如何回应，决定如何接受别人交给你的生活。你仍然可以控制自己的态度。无论你身处何种情况下，幸福都是一种态度和选择。记住，你总是能发现有人的境况不如你，你可以去帮助他。只有当我们不再只盯着自己的问题，并伸手援助他人，使他人获得幸福的时候，我们才会有真正的幸福。即使你选择不做出决定，这也就是你如何生活的决定。有许多聪明能干的人从未享受到他们本来能获得的成功，就是因为他们犹豫不决，不能严格要求自己。
请记住，如果你不改变你的生活，它就停留不变，就这么简单。因此，从现在起，你必须首先决定你的人生定位。如果你不能改变思想，你就不能改变你的生活。伟大的作家托尔斯泰说过：“人人都想改变世界，但没人想改变自己。”所以，现在问问自己：为了改变自己的生活，我要做出什么决定？
