選擇人生目標
How to choose life goals (zenhabits)
There is no perfect answer here. Some people have known for awhile now what they really want, but just haven’t pursued it, and for them, it just takes a little contemplation to realize what they’ve wanted all along. Others will have a more difficult time, as they have never figured out what their dream is, or what they’d like to accomplish. For them, I’d make a few suggestions:
1.Take some time for quiet contemplation.
2.Think about what’s important to you.
3.Think about what you’d like people to say about you when you die.
4.Brainstorm — make a list of all the things you’d like to do in life, things that sound fun and exciting and wonderful, and then choose the best of the list.
5.You don’t have to come up with your life goals right now. You could just think of something you’d like to achieve over the next 6 months to a year, and continue to explore different things until you find your dream.
How to get there
If you know your goals, the next question is how to get there. A great method that I’ve seen numerous times, most recently by Mark Joyner in his Simple*ology system, is called backward planning, a method used by the military. Basically, here’s how it works:
•Have a clearly defined goal with a clearly defined outcome — you should be able to visualize what it looks like when you’ve accomplished the outcome.
•What is the last thing you’ll need to do to achieve that outcome? If your goal is to publish a novel, for example, the last thing you’ll need to do (before the publisher does the layout and design, printing, marketing, etc.) is edit and submit the final draft.
•What is the thing you’ll need to do just before that step? In the above example, you might want to get an outside editor to review your draft and give your criticisms and suggestions and edits.
•What is the thing you’ll need to do before that step? In the example, you’d need to do a revised draft to submit to your editor.
•And so on, until you get to the first step. The first step is what you need to focus on. In the novel example, you might have “brainstorm novel ideas” as your first step.
If you follow this plan, you’ll have a step-by-step guide to achieving your goal. Now you just need a way to track your goals and achieve them.

Ways
You Can Be Fired For Your Appearance -- Legally (jobs.aol.com)
1. Too attractive: Unfortunately, it may
well be legal to fire or refuse to hire an employee who is just too darned
gorgeous. However, if your boss makes comments like, if his pants are bulging
that's a sign your clothes are too revealing, as the boss in the
too-pretty-to-work case did, you might have a case of sexual harassment. I'd
also ask whether men and women are being held to the same standard. If hunky
guys are allowed to stay but gorgeous gals are fired, that's a sign that sex
discrimination might be happening in your workplace.
2. Too ugly: No doubt about it, attractive
people are more successful than the beauty-challenged. Unfair? Absolutely.
Illegal? Doubtful. However, this is another of those situations in which you
should look around. If only males or only females are being held to the beauty
standard, then it might be sex discrimination. Similarly, if only people of a
particular race, age or national origin are being held to an appearance
standard, the company may have crossed the line into illegal discrimination.
3. Too fat: While employers can and do
fire, and refuse to hire or promote people because they are overweight, if you
are obese, you might be protected under the Americans With Disabilities Act. If
only overweight women are targeted (or only men), then there might be sex
discrimination. I haven't seen a case like this, but I suspect that a person
from a nationality that is disproportionately overweight might argue that weight
standards have a disparate impact on their nationality. Michigan makes weight
discrimination expressly illegal.
4. Wrong clothes: When I describe the
concept of at-will employment to people, I usually say something like,
"Your employer can fire you because they didn't like your shoes that
day." Most people laugh, like I'm making that up. Yet this is the third
time I've had someone tell me they were fired for their shoes. In every state
but Montana, you're an at-will employee unless you have a contract or union
agreement that says otherwise. Your employer can decide they don't like your
shirt or your shoes and fire you. However, if they don't like your shirt
because you are using it to protest working conditions, then the National Labor
Relations Act says they can't fire you for that. If special shoes needed for a
disability violate a dress code, the employer must provide a reasonable
accommodation to allow the employee to perform their job. If the employee
objects to a uniform or dress code for religious reasons, the employer may have
to grant an accommodation to respect the employee's religious beliefs or face
the consequences.
5. Too young: Sometimes people are turned
down for jobs promotions because they look too young. This is legal in most
states. The Age Discrimination in Employment Act only protects employees over
age 40 against discrimination based on being too old. Some states, such as
Alaska, Florida, Maine, Maryland, Minnesota and New Jersey, and municipalities
such as New York City, have laws prohibiting discrimination based on being too
young.
Questions:
What do you think the writer said “you can
be fired for your appearance”?
What are the reasons for getting fired?
“too attractive” “too ugly” “too fat” are
the justified reasons being fired?
What if you getting fire because of “wrong
clothes”?
What do you think the age/the weight
discrimination in employment?
Why you should dress to impress at
workplace?
What do you think about uniforms in companies?
What causes overweight and obesity?
