A few years ago, I__felt__like__I__was__stuck__in__a__rut(车辙)，so I decided to follow in the footsteps of a great American philosopher, Morgan Spurlock，and try something new for 30 days.The idea is actually pretty simple.Think about something you’ve always wanted to add to your life and try it for the next 30 days.It turns out 30 days is just the right amount of time.
There’re a few things I learned while doing these 30day challenges.The first was the time was much more memorable.This was part of a challenge I did to take a picture every day.I also noticed that as I started to do more and harder 30day challenges，my selfrecognition grew.I went from a deskdwelling computer nerd(电脑迷)to the kind of guy who biked to work.
Even last year，I ended up hiking up Mt.Kilimanjaro.I would never have been that adventurous before I started my 30day challenges.
I also figured out that if you really want something badly enough, you can do anything for 30 days.Have you ever wanted to write a novel？Tens of thousands of people try to write their own 50，000word novel in 30 days.It turns out that all you have to do is write 1，667 words a day for a month.So I did.
So here’s my question to you：What are you waiting for？The next 30 days are going to pass whether you like it or not，so why not think about something you have always wanted to try and give it a shot!
