Would you tell me which way I ought to go from here?” asked Alice.
“That depends a good deal on where you want to get,” said the Cat.
“I really don’t care where” replied Alice.
“Then it doesn’t much matter which way you go,” said the Cat.
- Quote from the Alice in Wonderland Movie
十字路口的抉择
“你能告诉我从这儿我该走哪条路吗?”爱丽丝问。
“那在很大程度上取决于你想去哪儿。”猫回道。
“哪儿都可以,我不在乎。”
“那么你走哪条路也就无关紧要了。”
——引自《爱丽丝梦游仙境》
My brother called me the other day and asked me for some advice? He was trying to decide between two job offers:
Job 1 – The first job was your typical 40 hour a week “office” job.
Job 2 – The second job was more of a career in the insurance industry, where he would start at the bottom, and after many years and many long hours eventually rise to the top (if he was good). The second job did not pay as well as the first job (initially), but the potential pay-off of the second job was much greater than the first job.
So which job should my brother take? Well the answer is…it depends.
Just like the Cat was trying to tell Alice, which road you take depends a great deal on where you want to end up.
一天,弟弟打电话想征求些我的意见,他要在两份工作中做出选择:
工作1——典型的一周40个小时的“办公室”工作
工作2——在保险行业的工作,需要从基层做起,可以经过多年和长时间努力后最终升职到高层(如果他足够优秀的话)
显然,第二份工作的薪水不如第一份丰厚(在刚开始时),但是第二份工作潜在的薪水支付远远多于第一份工作。
那么,弟弟应该选哪份工作呢?答案当然还是……取决于他自己想得到什么。
就如猫告诉爱丽丝的,你选择哪条路在很大程度上取决于你想停到哪,想到哪去。
