家中的经济压力也有所缓解,不再需要我的帮助。
我放弃了商业生涯,那感觉就像刚获释的犯人一样,然后我漂洋过海去了欧洲。
这一去便是4年,我的学习比以前想象的还要刻苦,却很快乐。
“快乐”
还不足以形容我的心情。
我变得乐不思蜀,飘飘欲仙。
我感觉自己是在真正地生活。
我成为了一个自由人,做着自己喜欢且注定要做的事。
如果我一直留在商界,现在也许是一个相当富有的人了,但我不觉得自己已经拥有了成功的人生。
也许我会放弃所有无形的、金钱无法买到的心灵满足,而这些正是以发财致富为基本目标所付出的代价。
我离开商界的做法,几乎违背了所有家人及朋友的意愿。
因为,我们很多人都早已习惯将成功与金钱联系在一起,并认为放弃高薪去追求理想简直是发疯。
如果真是这样,我只能说:“噢,疯狂的感觉真好。”
金钱是极好的东西,但为了金钱,我们很可能已经付出了太昂贵的代价。
