Recently I read a perfect book written by Stanley Yen. I think most people know about him. He published many books. His every book always touches me a lot and affects me a lot in my different period. The book is “The education should not be the same”. This book has described “how young people to expand our view in this world”. Stanley asked several questions to young people “Is learning only limited in school? Do you afraid to challenge? Or you just want to stay your comfort zone?” and their presents. “Is high degree always good? Are PhD and Master always the major (or important) persons in our society? Is the little screw not important?” He wants to mention that career is equal, and the most important is where is your enthusiasm? Here, he cites Robert Frost’s poem to encourage young people.
The Road not Taken. by Robert Frost
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
Don’t be afraid the difficulty, choose the one you really like. Don’t follow others minds, follow your dreams.
It’s a really perfect book. But, when I start to read this book, I have asked myself. Am I still young to pursue the dreams? Could I take any risk to pursue these dreams? Until I read this quotation from Douglas MacArthur from this book. This quotation likes the light to shoots into the darkness.
You are as young as your faith, as old as your doubt; as young as your self-confidence, as old as your fear; as young as your hope, as old as your despair.
