篇章: 社会学家忠告毕业生不要担心梦想 Happy Graduation, Seniors! Congratulations! Whats next? Below is some sociologically-inspired, out-of-the-box advice on work, love, family, friendship, and the meaning of life. For new grads from the two of us! 恭喜毕业,毕业生们!祝贺你们!接下来呢?下面就是我们二人给刚毕业的你们的建议,这些建议有关工作、爱情、家庭、友谊以及生活意义,既不落俗套,又具有社会学启发性! 1. Dont Worry About Making Your Dreams Come True 不要担心实现梦想 College graduates are often told: follow your passion, do what you love, what you were meant to do, or make your dreams come true. Two-thirds think theyre going find a job that allows them to change the world, half within five years. Yikes. 毕业生们总被告诫要跟随激情、做自己热爱的事情、做自己想做的事情,或者让梦想成为现实。2/3的毕业生以为,五年之内,自己要干一份能够改变世界的工作。乖乖! This sets young people up to fail. The truth is that the vast majority of us will not be employed in a job that is both our lifelong passion and a world-changer; thats just not the way our global economy is. So its ok to set your sights just a tad below occupational ecstasy. Just find a job that you like. Use that job to help you have a full life with lots of good things and pleasure and helping others and stuff. A great life is pretty good, even if its not perfect. |
