求求你堅持自己的夢想吧
We were just about getting ready to warm up for the practice game over the weekend when I had an interesting conversation with one of the team mates I actually didn't know quite well.
周末的時候，當我們正要為即將到來的游戲熱身，團隊成員中有一個我其實不太了解的成員和我進行了一場有趣的對話。
"So what do you do?" he asked. "Well, we work for ourselves, we run a software company", I replied. "Oh really! that's awesome! I work for xyz company, but you know I always wanted to get into animation design and work for myself. It was my dream. I got stuck in the wrong industry."
“你是做什么工作的?”他問道。“嗯，我們為自己打工，我們開了一個軟件公司”我回答。“真的?那真是太棒了!我為XX公司工作，但你知道我一直想做動畫設計，想做自由職業。那是我的夢想。我現在被困在一個錯誤的行業里?！?/p>
"You ain't dead yet, are you?" I thought trying hard not say that aloud. He continued "You know, I've been wanting to do this for 10 years now, but once you have a family, it's very tough to do anything else."
“你不還沒死呢嗎……” 我掙扎著沒把這句吼出來。他繼續說：“你知道嗎?我想做這行都有十年了，但是一旦你有了家庭，那想要再做點兒別的事就難了。”
I couldn't resistanymore, so I said "That's great, if you really want to do that, may be you should take up some animation classes, or do some self learning at your own pace. That would be a good start". Pat came the reply "Nahh it's very difficult, with family, full time job, no time. I would love to, but I can't."
我再也受不了了，于是我說：“如果你真想做那行那很好啊!也許你應該上一些動畫設計的課程，或者是用你自己的節奏自學。那會是個好開始!” 那哥們兒給我回了一句：“啊!?那得多難啊。有家庭、有全職工作，我根本沒時間!我是很喜歡，但是我做不了啊!”
Reluctantly, I suggested "Then may be you should consider training full time for a few weeks/months and perhaps dive in full-time?" He looked at me like I had just asked him to cut off his right hand. "Are you crazy? Where will the paycheck come from?"
我老大不樂意地建議他說：“那也許，你應該試試花幾周、或是幾個月的時間集中培訓，要不就辭職去學習?” 他看著我那小樣兒就跟我在教他剁掉自己右手似的：“你瘋了嗎?那我要怎么生活!?”
Realizing this conversation was heading towards an argument with someone I didn't know very well at the first place, I chose to just smile and leave it at that. But it made me think. What is it with people refusing to take some risks to follow their dreams. Are their dreams not worth it? If not, why do we sulk about them later? Don't we owe it to ourselves to at least give our dreams a fair shot?
想到這場對話跟著就會向吵架發展了，而對方我一開始就不太熟，于是我選擇放棄，只是笑笑。但這確實讓我想到：這些人都怎么了?不就要你們冒點兒險、追隨自己的夢想嗎?是你們的夢想不值得你們這么做嗎?如果真不是，那到頭來你們又在煩什么呢?我們是不是應該給我們自己的夢想至少一個機會呢?
