Class Mandarin in Hong Kong – Life in a Violin Case II 情系小提琴

Before my graduation form Columbia, the family met with severe financial reverses and I felt it my duty to leave college and take a job. Thus was I launched upon a business career – which I always think of as the wasted years.
Now I do not for a moment mean to disparage business. My whole point I is that it was not for me. I went into it for money, and aside from the satisfaction of being able to help the family, money is all I got out of it. It was not enough. I felt that life was passing me by. From being merely discontented I became acutely miserable. My one ambition was to save enough to quit and go to Europe to study music. I used to get up at dawn to practice before I left for“downtown”, distracting my poor mother by bolting a hasty breakfast at the last minute. Instead of lunching with my business associates, I would seek out some cheap café, order a meager meal and scribble my harmony exercises. I continued to make money, and finally, bit by bit,accumulated enough to enable me to go abroad. The family being once more solvent, and my help no longer necessary, I resigned from my position and, feeling like a man released from jail, sailed for Europe.I stayed four years, worked harder than I had ever dreamed of working before and enjoyed every minute of it.
“Enjoyed” is too mild a word. I walked on air. I really lived. I was a free man and I was doing what I loved to do and what I was meant to do.
If I had stayed in business, I might be a comparatively wealthy man today, but I do not believe I would have made a success of living. I would have given up all those intangibles,those inner satisfactions, that money can never buy, and that are too often sacrificed when a man’s primary goal is financial success.
When I broke away from business, it was against the advice of practically all my friends and family. So conditioned are most of us to the association of success with money that the thought of giving up a good salary for an idea seemed little short of insane. If so, all I can say is “Gee! It’s great to be crazy.”Money is a wonder fulthing, but it is possible to pay too high a price on it.

在我畢業之前哥倫比亞形式,家庭遇到嚴重的經濟上的挫折,我覺得我有責任離開了學校,並採取工作。因此,我推出後,業務生涯 – 我始終認為,蹉跎歲月。
現在我不意味著一個時刻貶低業務。我的整個點我是,這是不適合我。我走進它的錢,除了能夠幫助家庭滿意,錢是我。這是不夠的。我覺得生活傳遞給我。從僅僅是不滿,我痛苦不堪。我的志向是保存足夠的退出,去歐洲學音樂。我在黎明練習之前,我離開“鬧”,我可憐的母親分心錨桿支護在最後一分鐘匆忙的早餐。我與我的商業夥伴共進午餐,而不是尋求一些便宜的咖啡廳,點微薄的膳食和塗抹我的和諧演習。我繼續賺錢,最後,一點一滴,積累了足夠讓我出國。家庭再次溶劑,並幫助我不再必要,我辭去我的位置,感覺就像一個人從監獄中釋放,為航行Europe.I住4年,加大了工作力度,比我曾經夢想工作之前,享有它的每一分鐘。
“喜歡”是過於溫和的一個詞。我走的空氣。我真的住。我是一個自由人,我做我喜歡做什麼,我的意思做。
如果我一直經商,我可能是一個比較富裕的人,今天,但我不相信我會成功的生活。我會放棄所有這些無形資產,這些內在的滿足感,​​這錢不能買,往往是犧牲,當一個人的首要目標是財務上的成功。
當我打破了從業務,它是對幾乎所有的朋友和家人的意見。因此,空調是我們大多數人的成功與金錢的關係,想到了一個主意,放棄不錯的薪水似乎有點瘋狂短。如果是這樣,我可以說的是“哎呀!是瘋了,這是偉大的。“錢是一個奇蹟fulthing,但它有可能支付的價格太高了。
