実じつは「やりたいことをやる」ためには、シンプルに間ま近ぢかの目もく標ひょうを達成たっせいしていくだけで十じゅう分ぶんだと思おもいます。「いつか大おおきな仕し事ごとを成なし遂とげたい（注）」と思おもっていても、実際じっさいにそれがどんなものかはわかりようがないし、本ほん当とうに自じ分ぶんが望のぞんでいるものが何なんなのかもわかりません。

それより「目めの前まえのやりたいこと」を見みつけ、それに集しゅう中ちゅうできるようなプログラムを組くんでいけば、自し然ぜんに「自じ分ぶんのやっていること」が「自じ分ぶんの望のぞんでいること」に近ちかづいていく可か能のう性せいが高たかいような気きがします。

（榊さかき原ばら英えい資すけ『榊さかき原ばら式しきスピード思し考こう力りょく』による）

（注ちゅう）成なし遂とげる：達成たっせいする
