其实呢,我也从不期待它给我带来一份好工作。这个世界变得太快了,热门的东西转眼过时。大家大概都会记得众多工人下岗的那个年代,而在更早的年代百货公司的营业员拽的不得了,谁会想到他们某天变得那么值得同情。就像Do you Know那个视频里边说的,10年后最需要的工作现在可能压根就不存在,我们要学会不曾存在的技能,去做还未存在的工作。这样说也许太极端,因为有一些人确实有非常明确的路线。而我,是不明确的,只可以说有想法,我仍然在寻找。在路上的话,我不想自己太紧张,我的生活可以是紧张的(就像现在写这个明早还有事),但心态不应该是。
You can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something -- your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever -- because believing that the dots will connect down the road will give you the confidence to follow your heart, even when it leads you off the well-worn path, and that will make all the difference.
And that is as true for your work as it is for your lovers. Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking -- and don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it. And like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking -- don't settle.
中文翻译是:
你得相信,你现在所体会的东西,将来多少会连接在一块。你得信任某个东西,直觉也好,命运也好,生命也好,或者业力。这种作法从来没让我失望,也让我的人生整个不同起来。
你的工作将填满你的一大块人生,唯一获得真正满足的方法就是做你相信是伟大的工作,而唯一做伟大工作的方法是爱你所做的事。如果你还没找到这些事,继续找,别停顿。尽你全心全力,你知道你一定会找到。而且,如同任何伟大的关系,事情只会随着时间愈来愈好。所以,在你找到之前,继续找,别停顿。
