最下面这段中英文是网课上老师要求学习的成长课视频内容，我反复看了很多遍，用语音输入法练习口语，把内容输出变成文字，并重新整理了原文我觉得不是很合适的字幕内容。
这段话的主要意思表达的是：你现在的点滴行动正在构建你的未来，所以想在未来得到什么，现在就要定好目标，每天进步一点点，不要太过情绪化，不要让恐惧占据心灵而阻碍自己的脚步，以前发生过什么事不重要，重要的是你接下来打算怎么做？
You can't connect the dots looking forward，you can only connect them looking backwards，so you have to trust that the dots somehow connect in your future.
或有有些人认为这是不实用的心灵鸡汤，但据我自己的经历，我知道这是真实有用的概括，确实，眼下的点滴行动并不能让人马上看到未来，但通过回顾却会发现点滴的行动在构建你的未来。
2012年我开始有记录地、持续地阅读和写作，因为以前的基础太差，2012、2013、2014年这三年都感觉不到明显的进步，身边也有一些朋友说读书无用，现在很少看读文章等等，让我多做一些实际的事情，多出去走走，我自己半信半疑，但实在找不到更好的方法，依然坚持阅读和写作。
经历过一段充满艰难与怀疑的积累之后，2015年我开始感觉到自己明显的提升，因为词汇量和见识的增加，谈吐变得丰富起来，不再那么害怕与人相处和交流，对事物的观察和思考能力也在变强，写过的书评出现了排在第一的记录，后来开通了微信公众账号，有些读者会偶尔给些金钱的赞赏，有些朋友开始向我咨询他们的人生困惑。
目前我对文字的把控能力，对学习和阅读材料的选择，对某些事情的见解和做法已经优于身边很多的朋友，得益于这些年的点滴行动和积累，也还需要未来的继续积累。
这周豆瓣上有编辑发邮件给我约书评，深圳本地的一个学习群群主问我是否愿意加入文案组。这些机会曾经是我梦寐以求的，也接过一些书评，但现在却被我拒绝了，我的时间不够用，我有其它更重要的事情要做。
我想要像提升阅读和写作能力一样去提升英语能力，我已经嚷着学习英语嚷了很多年了，但付出的时间和精力不多，一直拖延，现在还没有明显的进步。
我想要逐渐养成锻炼和健身的好习惯，每天进行一点点的运动，打好身体的基础，健康的身体是开展其它一切活动的前提。
我想要提升对数字的敏感度，了解简单数字背后复杂的事件关联，学习金融理财知识，让工作做得更好，财务状况更进一步，生活变得更容易和开心。
还想去考驾照和提升摄影水平，时间和精力有限，这些要往后排一排。
我已经有了一些实战的经验：阅读和写作的积累已经让我有了明显的收获；对内在和外在的同时关注和投入，让我的个人形象比以前有了明显的提升；坚持12点前睡觉，7点前起床，让我逐渐懂得平衡休息和投入行动的重要；几乎不点外卖，好好照顾自己。
我知道这些实战的经验还远远不够，有时候还是会懈怠，有时候还是会情绪化，把实现梦想的行动一再推迟，一周、三个月、半年等等。
这一段带有总结性的话刚好可以用来做我的警醒，让我更清楚地明白现在的点滴行动正在构建我的未来，我会面临困难和挑战，但不要因此而停止，未来会看到答案。
