分享你的目标会降低成功的机会Sharing Your Goal Will Reduce Your Chance of Reaching ItThis time, it’s going to work. You’re going to achieve your goal. You announce your plan on Facebook. People know what you’re doing. Failure means humiliation. A couple months later, someone asks how your goal is coming along. You mumble an excuse for why you didn’t make it. Other tasks took priority.You haven’t been feeling so good lately. You just plumb forgot about it.这次，会成功的。你将获得成功。你在脸书上宣称你的计划，人们知道你在做什么。失败意味着丢人。几个月后，有人问起你的目标进展。你只好含糊其词地找了个还没成功的借口。其它任务比较急。最近你感觉不太好。你只是恰好忘了。But you know the truth. You lost motivation. What looked like a 400 meter sprint turned out to be a 10 mile marathon. It’s just not fun anymore. You justify quitting and announce a new goal.This time, it’s going to work. But probably not.但是你知道事实。你没有了动力。就像是一场400米的冲刺短跑变成了一场10公里的马拉松。这件事不再有趣。你找好了中止这件事的借口，然后又宣布了一个新的目标。这次，会成功的。但可能也不会。Sharing Goals Creates an Illusion of Progress分线目标造成了一种进度错觉In 2009, NYU psychologist Peter Gollwitzer conducted four tests in a German university. The purpose: find out how likely we are to achieve our goals after we share them.在2009年，纽约大学心理学家彼得·戈尔维策在一个德国大学里做了4个试验。目的在于：找出在我们分享了目标后，我们还有多少可能实现它。Gollwitzer set up four different tests, consisting of 163 psychology and law students. After each person wrote down a personal goal, half of them were to announce their commitment to the room, while the other half did not. All the students were given 45 minutes to work on their goals, and were told that they could stop at any time. The students that didn’t announce their goals worked the entire 45 minutes on average, and felt that they had a long way to go before their goal would be achieved. The students who did announce their goals only worked 33 minutes on average, and felt they were much closer to achieving their goals.戈尔维策设置了4个试验，163个心理法律学专业学生参与其中。在每个人写下一个个人目标后，一半人做出了承诺，而另一半人则没有。所有学生都有45分钟从事他们的目标，而且被告知可以随时停下。没有宣称他们目标的学生平均工作了整整45分钟，觉得在实现目标之前他们有一段长路要走。宣称他们目标的学成平均只工作了33分钟，觉得他们实现目标的路要近得多。Is it possible that the latt
