How to Turn Your Goals into Habits

First we make our habits, then our habits make us. It’s such a simple concept, yet it’s something we don’t always do.

I believe that having ONE goal to focus on is much more powerful than having many goals. By putting the belief into practice, I have achieved a lot of personal goals over time. 1. My answer takes a little explaining. I try to turn my goals into habits, and in doing so, I put my goals on autopilot. Turning a goal into a habit means really focusing on it for at least a month. The more you can focus, the more it'll be on autopilot. 2. You’ll still do it, but you only have to use minimal force to maintain it, and you can focus on your next goal or habit.

Take my marathon goal as an example. I was just starting running and had the brilliant idea to run a marathon within a year. So that was my goal. 3. First, I had to make running a daily habit. Second, I had to report to people in order to have accountability (负责) so that I could not quit easily. I focused on the daily running habit for about a month, and didn’t have any other goals or habits. When the running habit stuck, I started reporting to people I knew and blogging about my running every day.

4. I could focus on new goals without having to worry about the marathon. I still had to do the running, of course, but it didn’t require constant focus. 5. I was able to achieve this because, all year long, I had daily running and accountability habits. I put my marathon goal into autopilot, so instead of struggling with it daily for an entire year, I focused on it for one month and was able to accomplish it while focusing on new habits and goals.

A. And eventually, I ran the first marathon in my life.

B. At the beginning, it was very difficult for me to achieve this goal.

C. But in order to achieve it, I broke it down into two habits.

D. With this accountability, there’s no way I could stop running.

E. Once you put it on autopilot, you don't have to focus on it much.

F. My readers asked me how I was able to achieve them while working on different projects.

G. Once those two habits were established, my marathon goal was pretty much on autopilot.

The AlphaGo program’s victory is an example of how smart computers have become.

But can artificial intelligence (AI) machines act ethically, meaning can they be honest and fair?

One example of AI is driverless cars. They are already on California roads, so it is not too soon to ask whether we can program a machine to act ethically. As driverless cars improve, they will save lives. They will make fewer mistakes than human drivers do. Sometimes, however, they will face a choice between lives. Should the cars be programmed to avoid hitting a child running across the road, even if that will put their passengers at risk? What about making a sudden turn to avoid a dog? What if the only risk is damage to the car itself, not to the passengers?

Perhaps there will be lessons to learn from driverless cars, but they are not super-intelligent beings. Teaching ethics to a machine even more intelligent than we are will be the bigger challenge.

About the same time as AlphaGo’s triumph, Microsoft’s ‘chatbot’ took a bad turn. The software, named Taylor, was designed to answer messages from people aged 18-24. Taylor was supposed to be able to learn from the messages she received. She was designed to slowly improve her ability to handle conversations, but some people were teaching Taylor racist ideas. When she started saying nice things about Hitler, Microsoft turned her off and deleted her ugliest messages.

AlphaGo’s victory and Taylor’s defeat happened at about the same time. This should be a warning to us. It is one thing to use AI within a game with clear rules and clear goals. It is something very different to use AI in the real world. The unpredictability of the real world may bring to the surface a troubling software problem.

Eric Schmidt is one of the bosses of Google, which own AlphaGo. He thinks AI will be positive for humans. He said people will be the winner, whatever the outcome. Advances in AI will make human beings smarter, more able and “just better human beings.”

1.What does the author want to show with the example of AlphaGo’s victory?

A.Computers will prevail(战胜) over human beings. B.Computers have unmatched potential.

C.Computers are man’s potential rivals. D.Computers can become highly intelligent.

2.What does the author mean by AI machines acting ethically?

A.They are capable of predicting possible risks.

B.They weigh the gains and losses before reaching a decision.

C.They make sensible decisions when facing moral dilemmas.

D.They sacrifice everything to save human lives.

3.What is said to be the bigger challenge facing humans in the AI age?

A.How to make super-intelligent AI machines share human feelings.

B.How to ensure that super-intelligent AI machines act ethically.

C.How to prevent AI machines doing harm to humans.

D.How to avoid being over-dependent on AI machines.

4.What do we learn about Microsoft’s ‘chatbot’ Taylor?

A.She could not distinguish good from bad. B.She could turn herself off when necessary.

C.She was not made to handle novel situations. D.She was good at performing routine tasks.

5.What does Eric Schmidt think of artificial intelligence?

A.It will be far superior to human beings. B.It will keep improving as time goes by.

C.It will prove to be valuable to human beings. D.It will be here to stay whatever the outcome.

1.. The increasing costs make us doubt whether there’s real value to a college education. Is the thousands of dollars of debt and the time lost for study worthwhile? The answer may lie in the value of a college education and rates of return on investment.
