一个将近60岁的老先生告诉我,他一生中最大的遗憾就是当初没有学医当医生。他说,那年我14岁,一方面担心晚上洗的白球鞋明天早上来不及晒干,一方面觉得漫漫人生,人总是来得及做任何自己真正想做的事情。于是我问他,那你为什么不就去做呢?他居然回答我:“因为那个时候我并不知道自己适合做这个。”我听了以后非常震撼,觉得世界上最可怕的事情,莫过于活到很老很老了,才发现自己已经“错过”了自己。 An old gentleman who was nearly 60 years old told me that the greatest regret in his life was that he had not studied medicine as a doctor. He said that when I was 14 years old, I worried about white sneakers washed at night and I had no time to dry tomorrow morning. On the one hand, I felt that I was living a long life. People always had time to do anything they really wanted to do. So I asked him, then why didn’t you just do it? He actually answered me: “Because I didn’t know I was suitable for this at that time.” I listened very shocked and thought that the world’s most terrible thing was Nothing lived to be very old and old, only to find that he had “missed” himself.
