I envy people with dreams and passions, but I don't think that way. I still don't have a 'bliss' to follow. For people like me - I suspect that's most people - holding out for a 'dream' or a 'passion' is paralyzing. I just like having work I enjoy that feels meaningful. That's hard enough... but it's enough.

  • -- Jane Pauley 简·波利

我羡慕有梦想和激情的人,但我不这么认为。我仍然没有“幸福”可以追随。对于像我这样的人来说——我怀疑这是大多数人——坚持一个“梦想”或一个“激情”是令人麻痹的。我喜欢有意义的工作。这很难……但这就够了。
