Somehow I had acquired the impression that an explorer was someone who lived in the jungle with natives and lots of wild animals, and I couldnt imagin

19、o see the 21st century Now that you have read this incredible list, consider your goals. I am not suggesting that we all set our objectives as high as John Goddard. I will say that if he was successful in achieving all of those life aspirations with his resources of time, energy and money (and, by t

20、he way, he was completely self-financed, working to earn money for each of his adventures) then is it possible that you can accomplish far more than you presently imagine? Committing to specific goals is an act of faith and courage. Yet, it is a requirement for you to experience “Success in Action.”

21、 Furthermore, when you establish compelling goals, you engage a mysterious force that magnetically attracts the people and experiences necessary to accomplish your objectives. Unfortunately, the opposite is also true. If you neglect making conscious choices about what you want your life to become, y

22、ou will experience an ambiguous existence, enduring whatever happens to you or becoming a part of someone elses plan for your life. If you fail to plan you are planning to fail! I believe Napoleon Hill was the first one to offer people that advice, and its as true now as it was then. Despite trucklo

23、ads of literature on the subject, most people have never learned how to set effective personal and professional goals. Few have made goal-setting a regular part of their steady diet. Some people even have a pinch of psychological resistance to getting goals in writing. 从儿时起我就梦想着有朝一日成为一个探险家。不知怎么地，我对探

24、险家的印象是那种住在丛林里面，整天与土著居民和野兽为邻的人，而我没有办法想得更好些了。和其他男孩子不同他们在长大的过程中会慢慢地改变自己的主意我从来没有在这个雄心壮志面前退缩。（约翰戈达德）上面那些话的作者最出名的就是他那份关于自己奋斗目标的“生命清单”了。15岁的时候，约翰戈达德列出了他生命里面想要达到的127个目标。这份清单大胆而又给人深刻的印象，但是结果却非常的不寻常。经过他的同意，我想和大家分享他那127项目标以及用对号标示出来的完成的部分。探险部分：1.尼罗河；2.亚马逊河；3.刚果河；4.科罗拉多；5.中国长江；6.尼日尔河；7.委内瑞拉奥里诺科河；8.尼加拉瓜Rio Coco河；
