Visualization.
梦想可视化。
Whenever I feel like giving up, I visualize my dream materializing in front of me.
当我想要放弃的时候，我都会设想自己梦想成真的样子。
I imagine I am standing right there looking at my dream vacation place, or spinning the chair at my favorite company, or eating my favorite mom dish, or driving that one car I've always wanted. I close my eyes and imagine myself doing what I want to do. I make-believe, like a kid.
我会想像自己站在梦想的度假地，或在我最爱的公司里面转着椅子，或在品尝我最爱的妈妈做的菜，或者开着我一直想要的车。我闭上眼睛，想像自己此刻正在做着我想做的事情。我像个孩子一样做梦。
This gives me a much needed motivation straightaway. But then, you've got to work for your goal too! You cannot just go watch a movie after that!
这样想让我立刻有了迫切需要的动力。但是在那之后，你还应该朝着目标前进，而不是去看场电影。
I make a pros and cons list.
我会列一份利弊清单。
I often feel the need to give up. I often feel that it's not worth doing whatever it is that I'm doing, especially if I'm not getting any results.
我经常想要放弃。我经常认为我所做的并不值得继续下去，尤其是在我没有得到任何成果时。
During that time, I make a pros and cons list, the pros usually outweigh the cons, which instantly motivates me.
此时，我就会列出利弊清单，利通常大于弊，这可以激励我继续。
