摘要
让我们暂时放弃哈佛人的随机应变之道,收起那份冷漠,卸下看似刀枪不入的伪装,设法从头寻找你们问题的答案。我想,你们之所以会焦虑,是因为你们不想只是做到传统意义上的成功,而且还想过得有意义,但你们又不知道这两个目标如何才能同时达到。你们不知道在一个大名鼎鼎公司中有一份丰厚的并且预示着未来财富的起薪,是不是就可以让你们的灵魂得到满足。
The answer is:you won’t know till you try.But if you don’t try to do what you love — whether it is painting or biology or finance;if you don’t pursue what you think will be most meaningful,you will regret it.Life is long.There is always time for Plan B.But don’t begin with it.I think of this as my parking space theory of career choice,and I have been sharing it with students for decades.Don’t park 20 blocks from your destination because you think you’ll never find a space.Go where you want to be and then circle back to where you have to be.
