在生活中，有的时候我们会发现自己已陷入死胡同，或是徘徊在十字路口，又或是在一条不知去往哪里的小道上。不论你正处于哪个阶段，如果你对生活不满意，或不知道该如何继续，那么你需要重新审视自己了。 When I was in high school, I remember thinking that I had to pick a career at which I would be happy for the next 50 or so years of my life. 上高中的时候，我常常会想，我得找份工作愉快度过接下来约50年的生活。 What a daunting task. How do you know what’s going to make you happy for the rest of your life, especially if you’re only 16 and you’re still getting a thrill out of watching “The Breakfast Club?” 这是一项多么艰巨的任务啊！你是怎么知道剩下来的生命中，什么会让你开心呢？尤其是当你还只有16岁，那时的你，看起电影“早餐俱乐部”还会异常兴奋呢。 You can’t know. You can’t know what’s going to make you happy even five years from now. But you can know what makes you happy now and if you’re current position isn’t it, then you need to move on. 你不会知道，也不可能知道从现在开始的今后五年中，会有哪些能让你感到快乐的事情。但是知道现在有什么事情令你开心，如果你现在所处的位置并不能带给你快乐，那么你需要继续前行了。 When my oldest children were contemplating their college careers and job prospects, I often told them to just go and take classes or try things they thought might be interesting and if they didn’t like the class or workshop or whatever, then cross that off your list. Life is often about trying things and realizing what you don’t want to be when you “grow up.” 当我的大孩子们考虑他们的大学和就业前景时，我经常告诉他们，去上课或者尝试他们认为有趣的事物，如果他们不喜欢那项课程或是讲习班，那就把这些从列表里删除掉。生活往往就是不停尝试，然后等你长大后，知道自己不想成为什么。 I spent a year substitute teaching in an effort to see if I wanted to become a public school teacher. I enjoyed that year immensely, but after talking with teachers and doing some of their job for a year, I realized that was a career that was not for me. 我花了一年时间去教学，为了看看自己是否想成为一名公立学校的老师。我非常享受那一年，但是和其他老师聊过，又做了部分他们的工作之后，我意识到我并不适合教师这个职业。 |
