孔子说人三十而立，四十不惑，五十知天命，六十耳顺，工作中，不同年龄段的人应该有不同的追求目标，这些目标应该如何设定呢？

Each decade of life brings a new set of challenges as working professionals move into different phases of both their careers and personal lives.

每个十年都会给职场人士带来全新的挑战，他们也随着时间的推移进入到不同的工作和生活阶段。

Entering a new decade of life can be a perfect time to take stock of one's situation, reevaluate priorities and set career goals for the years ahead.

进入新的十年是盘点个人状况、确立优先事物和设定今后目标的一次良机。

Setting goals makes people "feel more in control of their destiny, which in turn makes for positive feelings and a sense of purpose," says Laura Berman Fortgang, a pioneer in the life coaching field and the author of several bestselling books, including "Take Yourself to the Top."

Laura Berman Fortgang说，定目标让人们感到“更能控制命运，从而带来积极感受和目标感”。Laura Berman Fortgang是生活辅导领域的先驱，出版了几本畅销书，包括《让自己登上顶峰》。

Nevertheless, Fortgang cautions that people should remain flexible in their goals:"Being too tethered to one specific outcome can jeopardize one's ability to recognize other opportunities when they become available."

不过Fortgang告诫人们应该灵活对待目标：“过于执着于实现目标，会损害人们发现其它机会的能力。”
