Don't Just Help Others Achieve Their Dreams
If you don't have your own goals, you'll end up working hard to help someone else achieve their dreams. And guess what? Their goals are designed to make the goal setter's life awesome, not yours. You must have your own goals, regardless of the stage of life you're in. For instance, parents often make their goals about their children, which causes them to sacrifice their needs for their kids' needs. As a parent, be sure to have personal goals, too. That way, when your kids leave home, you won't have such an empty feeling inside. Also, when you retire, make sure to keep setting goals so that you don't just mope around the house. For example, you're never too old to learn a new language or learn how to use the latest tech. Research shows that doing these activities increases levels of fulfillment, health, and even longevity. With goals, you'll maintain your sense of personal dignity and experience a sense of accomplishment whenever you achieve something new.
Translation
不要只是帮别人实现梦想
如果你没有自己的目标，最后你只是努力在帮别人实现他们的梦想。你猜怎么着？他们的目标不是为了你的生活而设，而是为他们自己的生活 变得更加美好。无论你处于人生的哪个阶段，你都必须要有自己的目 标。例如，父母常常将他们的目标投放在孩子身上，这导致他们为了孩子所需而牺牲了自己的需要。身为父母，也一定要有个人目标。这样，当你的孩子离开家时，你的内心就不会那么空虚。还有，当你退休时， 一定要继续设置目标，这样你就不会只是在家里闷闷不乐。例如，学习一个新的语言或学习怎么使用最新的科技，都是永远不嫌老的。研究表明，进行这些活动可以提高成就感、健康，甚至寿命。有了目标，你会继续保有个人的尊严感，并在每次达成新目标时感受到成就感。
