包阅导读总结
1. 关键词：目标、公共演讲、赛车、价值、成长
2. 总结：作者对目标有独特看法，认为具体物质目标并非唯一，以自身经历为例，如想在公共演讲和赛车方面取得成就，目标要实际，强调实现目标过程中的成长和价值，而非仅关注结果。
3.
– 作者对目标态度矛盾，不喜欢跑步机式的物质目标。
– 讲述看到 Kent Beck 演讲后设定成为优秀公共演讲者的目标。
– 首次驾驶赛车几年后设定参加勒芒 24 小时耐力赛的目标。
– 指出目标要有雄心但不能妄想。
– 30 岁成为世界最快车手或次年达到 Kent Beck 水平的目标不切实际。
– 强调目标实现过程对自身的塑造，如成为赛车手和演讲者，而非仅看重结果，引用 Jim Rohn 的话表达此观点。

I’ve always had an ambivalent relationship with goals. I don’t like goals that feel like checkpoints on a treadmill. They make you reach for a million dollars in revenue, celebrate for a second, and then turn the chase to five million the minute after. No thanks. But specific, material goals aren’t the only kind you can set.
Here’s a goal I remember setting that wasn’t like that. I remember seeing Kent Beck — the creator of
eXtreme Programming
and author of
my favorite programming style guide of all time
— on the conference stage at JAOO 2003. I was mesmerized by Kent’s command of the material and the audience. And I remember setting a goal of becoming as capable as that in the art of public speaking on technical topics.
I also remember setting the goal of participating in the 24 Hours of Le Mans after just a few years of getting behind the wheel of a racing car for the first time. I had barely become proficient enough to compete safely against other drivers, but had already progressed enough from the first time on track that I could extrapolate the trajectory. And have faith that I was going to get there.
Now there’s a fine line between goals that are ambitious and goals that are delusional. If I had set a goal to be the fastest driver in the world at age 30, after only earning my driver’s license at 25, I would have been delusional. Those odds wouldn’t just be long, they’d be impossible. And I don’t like to start a pursuit in vain.
Same too, if, after watching Kent Beck on stage, I’d set a goal to repeat the feat the next year. That would have been delusional. Not only does it take time and practice and skill to become that good of a public speaker, I also needed to become knowledgeable enough about my domain to have something interesting to talk about.
But in both cases, the racing and the speaking, I intuitively knew that it wasn’t just about the destination. If it was, there’d probably be many shortcuts I could have taken. But I wanted to take the long road. For what it would make of me. Jim Rohn
expresses
this sentiment beautifully:
Set a goal that’ll make you stretch that far.
For what it’ll make of you to achieve it.The greatest value in life is not what you get,
the greatest value in life is what you become.
It was not about winning a race, but about
becoming a racer
. It was not about giving a speech, but about
becoming a speaker
. Think about what you’d like to become more often than thinking about what you’d like to get.
