His of how he survived is fascinating.His cleverness —how he to catch fish, how he evaporated(蒸发) sea water to fresh water—is very interesting.
But the thing that my eye was how he managed to keep himself going when all hope seemed lost, and there seemed no in continuing the struggle .He was starved and9 worn-out.Giving up would have seemed the only possible choice.
When people these kinds of circumstances, they do something with their minds that gives them the courage to keep going.Many people in desperate circumstances in or go mad.Something the survivors do with their thoughts helps them find the courage to carry on difficulties.
"I tell myself I can it," wrote Callahan in his book.-Compared to what others have been through, I'm fortunate.I tell myself these things over and over, up courage..."
I wrote that down after 1 read it.It me as something important.And I've told myself the same thing when my own goals seemed off or when my problems seemed too terrible.And every time I've said it, I have always come back to my .
The truth is, our circumstances are only bad to something better.But others have been through the much worse, that is, in comparison with what others have been through, you're fortunate.Tell this to yourself over and over again, and it will help you through the rough situations with a little more courage.

Why is setting goals important? 1. Instead of just letting life happen to you, goals allow you to make your life happen.

Successful people imagine how their life should be and set lots of goals. 2. .It’s like having a map to show you where you want to go. Thank of it this way. There are two drivers. One has a destination (目的地) in mind which can be found on a map. She can drive straight there without any wasted time or wrong turns. The other driver has no goal or destination or map. She starts off at the same time from the same place as the first driver, but she drives aimlessly around, never getting anywhere, just using up gas. Which driver do you want to be?

3. . They decide what they want in life and then get there by making plans and setting goals. Unsuccessful people just let life happen by accident. Goals aren’t difficult to set and they aren’t difficult to reach . 4. . You are the one who must decide what to achieve and in what direction to aim your life.

5. . Written goals can be reviewed regularly, and have more power. Like a contract (合同) with yourself, they are harder to neglect or forget. Also when you write your goals in a particularly way, you are able to make yourself know situations that will bring you nearer to your goal.

A. Research tells us that when we write a goal down we are more likely to achieve it

B. Winners in life set goals and follow through

C. It’s up to you to find out what your goals really are
