极少的强烈推荐what are you going to do with that? 如果你在怀疑自己的选择，如果你不知道该怎么样坚持下去，如果你担心害怕将来会如何，一定一定要看这篇文章。（我没敢复制粘贴因为看起来很长，但是一下就读完了，因为很inspring～） 用我自己的理解说说： 生活远大于工作，教育远大于学校和专业。虽然我们都很勤奋，很努力，但也许你走的每一步都是事先计划好的sth you want to get into，即使现在也是这样，你的心里会知道下一步我要get into law school, or medical school, or business school, or IBD, anything you have a plan.这样做完全没有错，但是潜意识里我们都有对不确定的恐惧和厌恶，我们不愿意去面对未知的风险，也许你对事物A感兴趣，但是你完全不知道这样做下去会是什么结果，而事件B即使感觉一般，但是你知道它会带来不错的回报，选哪一个？我们勤勤恳恳的每一步都值得表扬，但是却没有“一盎司的道德勇气(moral courage我总找不到好的词来对应moral, 似乎是sth between道德和精神？)”,因为你知道努力下去会有怎样的结果，我们不愿意承担风险。毕竟人生只有一次。 我想只有当你有挣扎于个人，理想和现实之间的时候，才会格外有感于这段演讲。可以选择溶于社会的大流，只要多年想来不觉太过遗憾，得到的并不比失去的少，也实在是欣慰的。但也可以选择resist to predictability，生活或者说生命本来就不是你可以决定的，哪怕你选择了安定的路线，也会出现意想不到的局面，但关键就是在最初踏入独立生活那一步的时候你的态度如何。如果你有足够勇气定义自己的人生，自己的成功，能够安然于世，恐怕是最幸福不过的了。 留下些原版： What practical value could there possibly be in studying literature or art or philosophy?
