1.Psychologists refer to the desire to be good—to show that you are smart or talanted or capable, or to outperform other people—as having a performal goal

2.Psychologists refer to the desire to get better— to develop or enhance your skill and abilities—as a mastery goal.
精熟目标意味着对追求成长的渴求，想要去开发或强化自己的技能和能力。
3.Performance goals are characterized by an all-or-nothing quality—you erither reach the goal or you don't.You win or you lose.
“要么全部，要么没有”特性是绩效目标的特质，要么你达到了目标，要么没达到。你要么赢，要么输
4.When people pursue mastery goals,they don't judge themselves as much by whether they achieve a particular outcome.Instead,they judge themselves in terms of the progress they are making.Am I improving? Am I learning?Am I moving forward a good peace?
当人们追求精熟目标时，他们不会用一个具体结果来评判；而是思考过程中自己的进步。我是否在进步？我是否在学习？我是否稳步前进？
5.When you find something relatively easy to do,it's very motivating to focus on giving the best possible performance and validating your goodness,and it will probably pay off for you.
这句话的翻译不重要，他要传达的是：表现型目标也不是一无是处，学会区分情境，在不同的情境下去选择自己的目标（ps：说实话，这句话好理解，英语表达看起来更舒服）
6.No matter how poorly they thought they would do on the problems,they remained motivated to try and to learn.When a task is difficult,and presistence is the key to higher achievement.
不论他们觉得自己在这个难题上表现得有多么的差，他们仍旧充满激情去尝试，去学习。当遭遇困难的任务，坚持不懈才是能取得好成绩的关键要素。
7.When persistence is what is needed to succeed——when you need to be in it for the long haul and not give up too soon——get better goals are just what the doctor ordered.
当坚毅成为成功的必需品，当你需要拥有他便于走完这漫长的征途以及不那么快就放弃，追求进步型目标为你提供这样的一剂良药。
8.Be-good goals are all about the outcome,and so that's what holds all of our attention.Get-getter goals,on the other hand,are all about the journey.
表现型目标总是关心结果，所以这些人常常把注意力放到结果上。进取型目标常常关心成长的过程。
9.One of the most important things you can do to reach any difficult goal is know when to ask for and accept help.
对于达成艰难目标而言，有一件十分重要的事：你应知道该什么时候寻求帮助以及接受帮助
10.If your goal is to be good,to show how smart or capable you are,then needing help may feel like an admission of failure.On the other hand,seeking help is a great way to get better.
如果你的目标是表现型，想展示你自己的聪明与能力，那么表明自己需要帮助就像承认自己是失败的。但是换个角度，寻求帮助恰恰是让你快速成长的秘诀。
11.But it's simply not efficient for us to try to help people who are not willing to help themselves. It's OK to be ignorant; it's not OK to play stupid.
自助者，人助之；自助者，人恒助之；自助者，天助之。
12.Goals are like lenses in a pair of glasses.The goals you pursue determine not only what you see but how you see it—the things you notice and how you interpret what happens to you .
目标就像那眼镜上的镜片。你所追求的目标不仅决定你能看到的，而且决定了你如何看待：那些你注意到的事物；以及如何理解发生在你身上的事。
