To begin with the end in mind(以終為始)，意思是：
「開始」進行之前，要先瞭解「終點」（目的地、目標）在哪裡；
如此，我們才知道目前身處何處；
也才能夠往「正確的方向」向前邁進。（如果不先確認目標及方向，越努力，可能反而離目標越遠。）
Murphy: 進一步延伸這個想法，不僅在出發之前要先知道要去哪裡(目的地: goal)，也要想清楚，為什麼策畫這個旅程(目的: purpose, reason, why)，知道它的意義，如此才有足夠的驅動力，能夠支持我們在旅程中克服各種困難，也才有明確的指南針，讓我們知道在旅程中如何做出各種恰當的判斷。
All Things Are Created Twice
There's a mental or first
creation,
and a physical or second
creation
to all things.
並不是所有的first creation都是有意識的選擇，我們要強化self-awareness，才能確保對first creation（思想）的掌握度。否則對first creation沒有掌握，second creation（行為、態度）就更沒有掌控權了。
Personal Mission Statement
A personal mission statement focuses on
-> 你想要成為什麼樣的人 what you want to be (character)
-> 你想要成就什麼樣的事 what you want to do (contributions
and achievements)
A Principle Center
Our security comes from knowing
that
correct principles do not change.
The wisdom and guidance
come from
correct maps.
The power comes from
a self-aware, knowledgeable, proactive individual.
As a principle-centered person,
you try to stand apart from
>>> the emotion of the situation
>>> other factors that would act on you,
and evaluate the options.
Looking at the balanced whole,
you'll try to come up with the best solution,
taking all factors into consideration.
Writing And Using A Personal Mission Statement
Fundamentally, your mission statement becomes the criterion
by which you measure everything
else in your life.
Writing or reviewing a mission statement changes you
because it forces you
>>> to think through your priorities
deeply, carefully.
>>> to align your behavior
with your beliefs.
Two Ways To Tap The Right Brain
1. Expand Perspective
為自己寫墓誌銘；想像結婚25週年、結婚50週年的情景；想像退休生活的情景。
拓展心靈；想像時包含豐富的細節、情緒、感官知覺。
2. Visualization And Affirmation
Almost all of the world-class atheletes and other peak performers are visualizers.
They see it; they feel it; they experience it before
they actually do it.
They begin with the end in mind.
Subliminal Programming
Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP)
Identifying Roles And Goals
professional role
personal roles - husband, wife, father, mother, neighbor, friend
community roles - political area, public service, volunteer organizations
有效的goal關注「成果」，而不是「活動」。
Family Mission Statements
The core of any family is what is changeless --
shared vision and values.
This mission statement becomes the criterion
for evaluation and decision making.
It gives continuity, unity and direction
to the family.
It becomes the framework for thinking, for governing the family.
Organizational Mission Statements
要讓每個人都參與討論，因為「No involvement, no commitment.」
