今天我们来说一个单词： Visualization 1，是形象化的意思。偶尔间读到了施瓦辛格的故事，他从健美冠军，到电影明星再转战到政治,职业生涯的行业跨度非常大。中国有一句古话叫做：女怕嫁错郎，男怕入错行。但是施瓦辛格不管是在哪一行都可以说干的风生水起。他究竟有什么秘诀呢？原来答案就是刚才说的到那个单词：visualization. 今天我们就来听一下这个故事，希望对你有所启发。

Arnold Schwarzenegger was not that famous in 1976 when he met with a newspaper reporter. The reporter asked Schwarzenegger, "Now you've retired 3 from bodybuilding, what do you plan to do next?"
阿诺德·施瓦辛格1976年遇到一位新闻记者时还不是那样有名。记者问施瓦辛格:“你现在从健美运动中退出,下步打算做什么?”
Schwarzenegger answered very calmly and confidently, "I'm going to be the No. 1 movie star in Hollywood.” The reporter was shocked and amused at Schwarzenegger's plan. At that time, it was very hard to imagine how this muscle-bound bodybuilder, who was not a professional actor and who spoke 4 poor English with a strong American Austrian accent, could ever hope to be Hollywood's No 1 movie star.
施瓦辛格非常平静而自信地回答说:“我打算成为好莱坞头号电影明星”记者听到施瓦辛格的打算既震惊又觉得可笑。当时,很难想象这位肌肉结实的健美运动员,既不是职业演员,英语说得又差劲,还带有很重的奥地利口音,怎么可能有希望成为好莱坞头号电影明星呢。
So the reporter asked Schwarzenegger how he planned to make his dream come true, Schwarzenegger said, "I'll do it the same way I became the No.1 body builder in the world. What I do is to create a vision of whom I want to be, and then I start living like that person in my mind as if it were already true." Sounds almost childishly simple, doesn't it? But it worked! Schwarzenegger did become the No .1 highest-paid movie star in Hollywood!
所以,当记者问施瓦辛格如何打算使梦想成真时。施瓦辛格说:“我会像当初成为世界头号健美运动员样去做。我要做的就是创造一个自己想做的那个人的形象,然后像我心里想的那个人那样开始生活。”听起来是不是很幼稚很简单?但起作用了施瓦辛格真的或了好莱坞收入最高的电影明星。
Remember:"If you can see it, you can be it."
记住:“你能看到就能做到。”
