part two sentences

1, Sometimes the mind gets so excited about the opportunity to act on a goal, it mistakes that opportunity with the satisfaction of having actually accomplished the goal. And with the goal to make a healthy choice out of the way, the unmet goal—immediate pleasure-takes priority. You feel less pressure to actually order the healthy item, and you feel a stronger desire for the indulgent item. Add this up, and although it makes no rational sense, you give yourself permission to order the most artery-clogging, waist-expanding, and life-span-shortening thing on the menu.

2, We wrongly but persistently expect to make different decisions tomorrow than we do today.真的如此？

3, Such optimism is understandable-if we expected to fail at every goal we set, we:d give up before we got started. But if we use our positive expectations to justify present inaction, we might as well not have even set the goal in the first place. 设置期望目标，有好处。但是如果没有行动，还不如不设置目标。将自己的口号“从明天开始”何不改为“从现在开始”？

4, There's one last licensing trap we must learn to avoid, and unlike all of the traps we've seen so far, it has nothing to do with our own virtuous behavior. It has to do with our deep desire to convince ourselves that what we want isn't so bad.As you'll see, we are far too eager to give the object of our temptation its own moral credentials, licensing us to indulge guilt-free.

part three summary

The Idea: When we turn willpower challenges into measures of moral worth, being good gives us permission to be bad. For better self-control, forget virtue, and focus on goals and values.

It has nothingtodo with our virtue!!!

It has to do with our deep desire!!!
