正确的选择 “对于三十岁以后的人来说，十年八年不过是指缝间的事。 而对于年轻人 而言，三年五年就可以是一生一世” 这句话出自张爱玲的经典小说半生 缘 ，书里开头是沈世均的内心独白“他和曼桢认识，已经是多年前的事了。算 起来倒已经有十四年了真吓人一跳！马上使他连带地觉得自己老了许多。 日子过得真快，尤其对于中年以后的人，十年八年都好像是指顾间的事。可是 对于年轻人，三年五载就可以是一生一世。他和曼桢从认识到分手，不过几年 的工夫，这几年里面却经过这么许多事情，仿佛把生老病死一切的哀乐都经历 到了。 ”今天在这里援引这句话却不是想探讨关于爱情的话题，而是想说说关于 年轻时的选择。 选择是人一生永恒的课题，我们无时无刻不在经历着各种的选择，小到衣 食住行鸡毛蒜皮，大至事业婚姻未来规划，尤其是对于二三十岁的年轻人来说， 每一个大的选择都是对于后半生的奠基，甚至某种程度上来说，是一场以未来 做注的一场赌局，想来不啻于世间第一的豪赌了。一旦做下了选择，便如美国 诗人罗伯特弗罗斯特(ROBERT FROST)在他的诗未选择的路 （The Road Not Taken）中写到的： 啊，留下一条路等改日再见！ .但我知道路径延绵无尽头， 恐怕我难以再回返。 也许多少年后在某个地方， 我将轻声叹息将往事回顾： 一片树林里分出两条路- 而我选择了人迹更少的一条， 从此决定了我一生的道路。 我想，何为做出正确的选择，便是 20 岁跟对人，30 岁做对事 当我们 20 岁，我们刚进入社会，犹如一张白纸，想要画出漂亮的图案，奈 何空有一番热情却不知道如何下手。这个时候，我们寻寻觅觅，希望能抓住一 根稻草，沿着这根草我们能够认准人生的方向，可以看到未来的辉煌。于是， 跟对人，成为这个年龄所做的必修课。 社会确实有点复杂，年轻单纯的我们 往往被舆情热浪掀起，找不到方向。似乎经济社会的人都成了经济人，他们用 自己闯荡了多年的社会阅历，练就了一身武大郎似的画饼的能力。可是，很多 人却没有学到武大郎的忠厚老实，结果年轻人跟着他充满希望大踏步前进，结 果武大郎的饼子越摊越大，终究还是一张梦中的饼。等年轻人幡然醒悟时，武 大郎却挑着货担走远了。 一转眼便迈进 30 了。30 岁人要做对事。30 岁的人，在社会上已经闯荡了 多年，有一定的社会阅历，开始渐渐认准人生的方向。这时候，作为一个有理 想的人，他就必须选择好自己的事业，认定自己的目标并为之奋斗。这时，他 的选择很重要，也就是我们所说的做对事。如果选择错误，方面出现偏差，那 么，他越用功，他离成功也就越远了。在选择正确的情况下，坚持 10 年，等到 我们不惑之年的时候，也许就能看到人生的枝头挂满累累硕果。对于三十而立 的中国传统标准来说，也许这是一份迟来的午餐，但它却是给当年的 30 岁的人 一个曾经披荆斩棘、栉风沐雨的补偿。 20 岁起步，30 岁定位，每个人拥有的人生，是否能在这里找到答案。年 轻人这个时候都是敢拼敢闯的时候.就像灿烂的烟花这个时候在拼命的燃烧那样 吧.几乎是把一生的热情都聚集在这个阶段了.。回到开头引用张爱玲的那句话， 众所皆知，她有一句著名的话“出名要趁早” ，在她的观念里人就应该趁着自己 大好年华做出一番成就，抓住年少时的分分秒秒，短短几年便可造就一生；而 当人近中年以后很多事已是尘埃落定，没有了年少时的激情，一岁岁只是某种 程度上的重复，十年八载没有什么差别。因此便更要抓紧珍贵的华年，审慎的 选择，努力的奋斗。 How to Choose Rightly “To those older than thirty, eight years or ten shall be nothing more than that has slipped through the fingers; to the young, three years or five can be equaled to a whole lifetime.” The sentence was said by Zhang Ailing in her classic novel Half Life Fate. Beginning in the book is Shen Shijuns inner monologue, “It was already 14 years since he knew Manzhen. So scary! This made him feel old. Time flies, especially for people beyond middle age, eight years or ten years seem nothing, but to those who are young, three years or five years can be equaled to a whole lifetime. It was only a few years from their acquaintance to their break up. Over the years too many things have happened, as if I had experienced all physical sorrows.” I quoted the words here today dont want to discuss about the topic of love, but to talk about choice when we were young. Choice is one of lifes eternal topic. From trivial things such as food and clothing to marriage and the future career planning. We are experiencing all kinds of choice all the time. Especially for young people who are in their 20s and 30s, every big choice is the foundation for future life, even to some extent, a bet for future. Maybe this is the biggest gamble in the world. As was written in American poet Robert Frosts poem The Road Not Taken, Oh, I kept the first for another day! Yet knowing how way leads on to way, I doubted if I should ever come back Somewhere ages and ages hence: I shall be telling this with a sigh Two roads diverged in a wood, and I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference I deem right choice as following the right person at the age of 20 and doing right things at the age of 30. We are the new entrants in our 20s, just like a piece of blank paper. We want to paint the beautiful design, but we dont know how to start only with enthusiasm. During this period, we search and hope for clutching at a straw. With the straw, we can sure about our directions of life and see the glorious future. The society is indeed complex, we are so young and so innocent, sometimes we may lost the direction of life. It seems that people in economy society all become economists, they all have the capacity to make pancake, just as Wu Dalang. But they dont have the characters of Wu Dalang-upright and honest. Finally, their dreams are drawing water with a sieve. Then suddenly 30 years old, the period of following the right person. People at the age of 30 have a lot of experience in society, they have their own direction in their mind. At this time, people who has ideals should choose the career and work hard for the career. Choosing the right career is doing the right thing. If the choose is wrong, he may be far from success. If we choose the right career and insist for 10 years, we can see the best result in our 40s, which maybe too late according to Chinese tradition that a man should be independent at the age of 30. But it is the compensation for 10 years hard work of a person. Starting from 20, locating 30. We all have our own life whether we can find our answer here or not. We youngest should be aggressive and dare to do everything. Like the framework, trying hard to burn in the glorious time. As we all know, Zhang Ailing has a very famous sentence, to be known as early as possible. Her conception is that young people should do a great when they are young. Seize every minute
