Also, think about the specific actions that need to be taken to reach your goal. Just promising you’ll “sleep more” is too vague—be clear and precise. “I’ll be in bed by 10 p．m. on weeknights” leaves no room for doubt about what you need to do.

　　Meanwhile, you should be a realistic optimist when you are setting a goal. By all means engage in lots of positive thinking about achieving it. Believing in your ability to succeed is particularly helpful for creating and maintaining your motivation.

　　But whatever you do, don’t underestimate(低估) how difficult it will be to reach your goal. Studies show that thinking things will come to you easily and effortlessly leaves you ill-prepared for the journey ahead, and significantly increases the possibility of failure.

　　Willpower is another important factor. To build willpower, take on a challenge that requires you to do something you’d honestly rather not do, such as giving up high-fat snacks, or doing 100 sit-ups a day, which will develop your determination to reach your goals.

　　You may start with just one activity, and make a plan for how you will deal with troubles when they occur. It will be hard in the beginning, but it will get easier, and that’s the whole point. As your strength grows, you can take on more challenges.

　　Remember, you don’t need to become a different person to be successful. It’s never what you are, but what you do. Ways to 41.____________________________________ Ⅰ. Be as specific as possible ● Set a specific goal:
