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
十字路口的抉擇
“你能告訴我從這兒我該走哪條路嗎?”愛麗絲問。
“那在很大程度上取決于你想去哪兒。”貓回道。
“哪兒都可以,我不在乎。”
“那么你走哪條路也就無關緊要了。”
——引自《愛麗絲夢游仙境》
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,弟弟打電話想征求些我的意見,他要在兩份工作中做出選擇:
工作1——典型的一周40個小時的“辦公室”工作
工作2——在保險行業(yè)的工作,需要從基層做起,可以經(jīng)過多年和長時間努力后最終升職到高層(如果他足夠優(yōu)秀的話)
顯然,第二份工作的薪水不如第一份豐厚(在剛開始時),但是第二份工作潛在的薪水支付遠遠多于第一份工作。
那么,弟弟應該選哪份工作呢?答案當然還是……取決于他自己想得到什么。
就如貓告訴愛麗絲的,你選擇哪條路在很大程度上取決于你想停到哪,想到哪去。
