追随梦想
"老师回答道:"你年纪轻轻,不要老做白日梦。你没钱,没家庭背景,什么都没有。盖座农场可是个花钱的大工程;你要花钱买地、花钱买纯种马匹、花钱照顾它们。你别太好高骛远了。"他接着又说:"如果你肯重写一个比较不离谱的志愿,我会重打你的分数。""
"这男孩回家后反复思量了好几次,然后征询父亲的意见。父亲只是告诉他:"儿子,这是非常重要的决定,你必须自己拿定主意。"
"再三考虑好几天后,他决定原稿交回,一个字都不改。他告诉老师:"即使拿个大红字,我也不愿放弃梦想。""
蒙提此时向众人表示:"我提起这故事,是因为各位现在就坐在200亩农场内,占地4000平方英尺的豪华住宅。那份初中时写的报告我至今还留着。"他顿了一下又说:"有意思的是,两年前的夏天,那位老师带了30个学生来我的农场露营一星期。离开之前,他对我说:"蒙提,说来有些惭愧。你读初中时,我曾泼过你冷水。这些年来,我也对不少学生说过相同的话。幸亏你有这个毅力坚持自己的梦想。""
不论做什么事,相信你自己,别让别人的一句话将你击倒。
