题目内容
17.Because,like most of you,I began college in my teens,but the second year,I was offered my dream job at Universal Studios,so I dropped out.Well,I left college because I knew exactly what I wanted to do,and some of you know,too-but some of you don't.Or maybe you thought you knew but are now questioning that choice.Maybe you're sitting there trying to figure out how to tell your parents that you want to be a doctor and not a comedy writer.
I told my parents if my movie career didn't go well,I'd re-enroll.It went all right.But eventually,I returned for one big reason.
Most people go to college for an education,and some go for their parents,but I went for my kids.I'm the father of seven,and I Kept insisting on the importance of going to college,but I hadn't walked the walk.So,in my fifties,I re-enrolled at Cal State-Long Beach,and I earned my degree.
Well,what you choose to do next is what we call in the movies the'character-defining moment.'
Life is one strong,long string of character-defining moments.And I was lucky that at 18I knew what I exactly wanted to do.But I didn't know who I was.How could I?And how could any of us?Because for the first 25years of our lives,we are trained to listen to voices that are not our own.Parents and professors fill our heads with wisdom and information,and then employers and mentors (有经验的顾问)take their place and explain how this world really works.
And I want to be clear that your intuition(直觉) is different from your conscience.They work together,but here's the distinction:Your conscience shouts,"here's what you should do,"while your intuition whispers,"here's what you could do."Listen to that voice that tells you what you could do.Nothing will define your character more than that.
