梦想集结号：你在追逐谁的目标？

物以类聚，人以群分。某些特点很可能会成为某一类群体中多数人共有的特质。例如：如果你周围的朋友都超重，那么你患肥胖的几率就会很大。

One recent and dismaying example of this trend is for breast enhancements, with women feeling pressured into following their friends into having surgery.

最近已有调查显示，这种“同化效应”在隆胸一族中尤为盛行，这多少让人有些无奈。女人们往往顶不住压力，纷纷加入到同伴的行列之中，挺进了外科手术室。

Your friends might not talk about their goals as such. But they probably have a set of things that they value – and it may be hard for you to identify your own values. For instance, if you work with colleagues who just care about the paycheck, you might find it tough to stick to what's important to you: doing a good job and playing a valuable role in society.

你的朋友也许很少会特别提及自己的生活目标，但一定有一些事情是他们认为非常重要的。而对你来说，要识别出哪些事是对你有意义的有时并非易事。举例来说，如果你与一群只介意薪水高低的同事共事，那么你会发现，要坚持你个体的价值取向：从事一份体面的工作或做一些对社会有意义的事，是相当困难的。

How to Change: Consider joining a group or club that relates to one (or more) of your goals. For instance, if you're starting up your own business but all your friends are traditionally-employed, you could look for small business networking opportunities in your area.
