1.The turning point of my life was my decision to give up a promising career in business to study music.My parents,although sympathetic,disapproved of music as an occupation.This was understandable,I thought,in view of my family background.My grandfather taught music for nearly forty years at Spring Hill College,and it was only the threiftiness (节俭) of my grandmother that kept the wolf at bay.As a consequence,My parents insisted upon college instead of a music school.Before my graduation from Columbia University,the family met with severe fanacial difficulty 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 (贬低) business; my whole point is that it was not for me.My one ambition was to save enough money to quit and go to Europe to study music.
I used to get up at dawn to practice before I left for"downtown",upsetting my poor mother by having a hasty breakfast at the last minute.Instead of lunching with my business associates,I would seek out some cheap café,order a mean meal and draw my harmony exercise.I continued to make money,and finally,bit by bit,accumulated enough to enable me to go abroad.The family being once more wealthy,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 really wealthy man today.But I do not believe I would have made a success of living.I would have given up all those inner satiosfaction that money can never buy and that are too often sacrificed when a man's primary goal is fanacial success.Money is a wonderful thing,but it is possible to pay too high a price on it.
