A resume tells a story. And over the years, I've learned something about people whose experiences read like a patchwork quilt,
一份簡歷講述了一個故事。過去的那些年，我了解到那些經歷好似拼布床單的人，

Or it may signal a committed struggle against obstacles. At the very least, the Scrapper deserves an interview.

there were certain assignments that were beneath him, like temporarily doing manual labor to better understand an operation.

Eventually, he quit. But on the flip side, what happens when your whole life is destined for failure and you actually succeed?
最終，他離開了。但是，另一方面，如果你的人生注定失敗，而你卻成功了，這是怎么回事呢？
I want to urge you to interview the Scrapper. I know a lot about this because I am a Scrapper.
我會建議你去面試“拳擊手”。我很了解這些，因為我自己就是一個“拳擊手”。
Before I was born, my father was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia, and he couldn't hold a job in spite of his brilliance.
在我出生之前，我的父親就被診斷為精神分裂癥，他無法繼續工作盡管他很有才華。
Our lives were one part "Cuckoo's Nest," one part "Awakenings" and one part "A Beautiful Mind."
我們的生活就像“飛越瘋人院”，“無語問蒼天”，和“美麗心靈”的合集。
