阅读下列短文，从所给的四个选项中，选出最佳答案。
"When I was a boy, my father, a baker (面包师) introduced me to the wonders of song," Tenor (男高音) superstar (超级歌星) Luciano Pavarotti (卢西亚诺·帕瓦罗蒂) says. "He urged me to work very hard to develop my voice. Arrigo Pola, a professional (专业的) tenor in my hometown of Modena, Italy, took me as a pupil. I was also at a teachers' college at that time. On graduating, I asked my father, 'Shall I be a teacher or a singer?' "
"'Luciano,' my father replied, 'if you try to sit on two chairs, you will fall between them. For life, you must choose one chair.' "
"I chose one. It took seven years of study and frustration (挫折) before I made my first professional appearance (正式登台演出) . It took another seven years to reach the Metropolitan Opera (意大利大都会 歌剧院). And now I think whether it's laying bricks (干砌砖工), writing a book—whatever we choose—we should give ourselves to it. Commitment (献身精神), that's the key. Choose one chair."
