因為我只記得當中一兩句,所以在網上搜尋了一下整段演講詞,我最認同的就是即使我們小時候別人每次問「你長大後想做甚麼 ?」的時候說自己要成為甚麼、要做甚麼都好,當人長大了後也想得到一個更確定更認真的答案,就是「連自己都不知道」,這不是一個要我們做一個重大及長遠決定的時候,而是一個讓我們行錯路、去犯錯的時候,有時候不犯錯不嘗試是不知道自己真正想要的是甚麼,知道行錯了再返轉頭也不遲,總會走到要走的路。
" When we were five, they asked us what we wanted to be when we grew up. Our things were
answers like astronaut, president, or in my case, princess… When we were ten, they asked us again. We answered - rock star, cowboy, or in my case, gold medalist… But now that we’ve grown up, they want a more serious answer. Well, how about this… Who the hell knows? This isn’t a time to make hard and fast decisions. This is the time to make mistakes. Take the wrong train and get stuck somewhere chill. Fall in love - a lot. Major in philosophy because there’s no way to make a career out of that. Change your mind. Then change it again because nothing is permanent. So make as many mistakes as you can. That way, someday, when they ask again what we want to be… We won’t have to guess. We’ll know."
小時候的時候別人總會問你長大後想做甚麼 ? 多數的答案都是警察、律師、醫生、老師、設計師等等的 model answer,一來年紀小並不清楚知道這個世界上還有多少不同的工種,所以腦內自然只會閃出這幾種職業,老師聽到後多數會講「叻喎想做老師,咁要努力讀書啦 !」之類的說話。而我幼稚園的時間是寫了想做一位空姐,當時我並不知道有近視是做不成空姐的,哈哈,難怪我會寫空姐 ! 但一直到小學、中學,我都沒有想過這問題,後來好像找到了一點方向去了讀書,直至到現在畢業了找到工作,我還是想嘗試更多不同而且具挑戰的工作,這會是我不斷學習的階段。
