Abstract

Many of us are struggling to chart a path toward success in our careers and a sense of fulfillment in all aspects of our lives. But we can't excel simultaneously in every role. Instead, at various points in life we must choose what to emphasize and what to relinquish. The goal is to make that decision consciously instead of unwittingly Letting go of the most important item. The author presents a framework he designed with Howard Stevenson, a business professor who has played many roles throughout his life, to help ambitious executives understand their limits and make tough trade-offs. It starts with considering all the dimensions of your life, developing a vision of yourself for the present and for the future, and then evaluating how your options advance you toward your goals. where do your options fall on the needs-wants spectrum? Most things fall somewhere in the middle. Some wants are so strong that it's difficult to separate them from needs. What are the investment and opportunity costs? Most decisions involve both kinds of costs. The challenge is to understand if incurring them will help you achieve your goals. Are the potential benefits worth the costs? Does the benefit you'll receive warrant the investment you'll have to make? Can you make a trade? Many of us try to exchange something we have for something else that we want. But sometimes the two items can't be traded. Money, for instance, cannot buy health. Have you considered sequencing your most valued options? Consciously staggering your goals may enable you to be equally successful in many dimensions over time.

不,你不可能拥有一切。
我们中的许多人都在努力规划一条通往事业成功和生活各方面成就感的道路。但我们不可能同时在每个角色中都表现出色。相反,在人生的不同阶段,我们必须选择强调什么,放弃什么。我们的目标是有意识地做出决定,而不是无意中放弃最重要的东西。作者介绍了他与商学教授霍华德•史蒂文森(Howard Stevenson)共同设计的一个框架,帮助雄心勃勃的高管了解自己的极限,并做出艰难的取舍。史蒂文森一生中扮演过许多角色。首先要考虑你生活的方方面面,为自己的现在和未来制定一个愿景,然后评估你的选择如何帮助你实现目标。在你的需求范围内,你的选择落在哪里?大多数事情都处于两者之间。有些欲望是如此强烈,以至于很难将它们与需求分开。投资和机会成本是什么?大多数决策都涉及这两种成本。我们面临的挑战是,要理解这些错误是否会帮助你实现目标。潜在的好处值得付出代价吗?你所获得的收益是否值得你所做的投资?你能做笔交易吗?我们中的许多人都试图用我们拥有的东西来交换我们想要的东西。但有时这两件东西不能交换。例如,金钱不能买到健康。你考虑过给你最有价值的选择排序吗?随着时间的推移,有意识地打乱你的目标可能会让你在许多方面同样成功。
