今天开始学习第二个habit---- Begin with the end in mind，以终为始，这让我想到曾经有人说：把每一天都当成世界末日，这样便会有紧迫感，知道什么是对自己最重要的，最想把握的是什么，我觉得与作者的观点有些不谋而合。看到那参加自己葬礼，看看别人怎么评价自己这一生，自己到底想要什么样的评价? 对于这个问题，我一下子就愣住了，我不能马上给出答案，我在思考我到底想要什么样的评价，其实便是想成为什么样的人，我似乎对于这个问题还是很模糊的。虽然我也知道如果把每一天都当成最后一天来对待，生活是多么的不同，但是总想着明天不会世界末日，所以根本就紧迫不起来，没有那样的动力支撑。我还需要好好的思考这个想要什么样的评价，才会有巨大的力量去驱使自己向前吧。如果只看到眼前的苟且，没有诗和远方，那就真的太遗憾了。
