今年你想挑战什么
What New Challenge are You Going to Take This Year?
如果你想要成长，你需要拓展你的潜能。拓展你的个人潜能对个人的成长来说非常重要，它能把你的生活提到另一个新的高度，能让你成为更优秀的人。为此，你要做的事情就是来一个新的挑战。大家应该从安全地带走出来，做一些能够增长你的技能和能力的事情。20xx年还剩下11个月，这足够完成一个新的挑战。别把它们浪费在你一直在做的事情上面，做一些能把你的生活带入新阶段的事情。
If you want to grow, you need to expand your personal capacity. It's an important topic that deserves constant reminder.
Expanding your personal capacity is essential for your personal growth. It will take you the next level in life. It will make you a better person. For that, what you need to do is taking a new challenge. You should move out of your comfort zone and do something that stretches your skills and abilities. It's inconvenient, but that's the way to grow.
What new challenge are you going to take this year?
We still have eleven months in 2012 which is enough to work on a new challenge. Don't waste them by just doing what you always do. Do something that will take you to the next level in life.
To help you choose a
new challenge to
take, here are a few
ideas:
Take an online course
Is there a subject you are
fascinated about and
want to study if you had
time? Well, this year
might be the time for you.
There are a lot of courses
available on iTunes U that
you can choose from, not to mention other sources like YouTube. There is even a new breed of interactive
courses that will give you assignments and give you feedback (here are some
examples). With so many options available, I'm sure you can find something on the subject you are interested in.
Start a side business
Perhaps you already have an idea for a side business. It could come from your hobby or from a specific need that you come across. Why don't you make it a reality this year? Having a side business is a good way to expand your capacity because it will teach you a lot in the process. Plus, it could give you an extra cushion in this uncertain economic times.
Start a blog
Today everyone can express his or her thoughts through a blog. You are no longer limited to just being a consumer of information. If you have a subject you are
passionate about, it's a good idea to start a blog on it. You will learn a lot more by writing about it, plus you will meet interesting people along the way.
One word of caution: don't expect instant success if you decided to build something. It takes time to build something, so don't get discouraged if your blog didn't attract many readers or your business didn't give you enough revenue in the beginning. Remember, your goal here is to expand your personal capacity.
