"大器晚成也沒關係"

畢業典禮即將來臨，又一個學年要結束了。還不知道自己的熱忱在哪，就聽到所有這些畢業典禮致詞告訴你要追求自己的熱忱，可能會有些嚇人。其實完全沒有必要驚慌失措。花點時間探索不同選擇，即使那代表做許多不同工作，來確保自己走上對的職業道路。拿梵谷作為例子，他直到快三十歲才學會怎麼畫畫。別因為其他人似乎都知道自己想做甚麼，就隨便地踏進一條職涯道路。順其自然──時機對了、靈感就來了。根據英國文化企業「School of Life」的研究，半數以上二十幾歲的人都後悔自己的職業選擇，並希望他們可以重來一遍。

對話範例：

(大器晚成) 克萊兒快要畢業了，但她不知道自己未來人生要做甚麼。她姊姊伊蓮娜正在給她意見。讓我們聽聽她們的對話。

克萊兒：天啊，畢業典禮就在兩週後，而我對於未來要幹嘛還是毫無頭緒！

伊蓮娜：拜託喔，你才22歲！世界都在你的掌中！

克萊兒：只是其他人似乎都知道他們想要做甚麼了。或許我應該遇到什麼工作就做了。

伊蓮娜：幹麻管其他人啊！你要花多少時間就花多少時間，來找到你的熱情所在。

克萊兒：你花了多少時間來找到你的熱忱所在？

伊蓮娜：這個嘛，我還沒真的找到……

克萊兒：甚麼？你畢業了五年耶！你這些日子都在做甚麼啊？

伊蓮娜：等待靈感到來啊！創造出《蜘蛛人》的史丹李43歲才開始畫超級英雄啊！我還有很多時間。

(Life) Its Okay to Be a Late Bloomer

Graduation is almost here and another school year is coming to an end. The hearing of all these commencement speeches telling you to pursue your passion can be intimidating when you dont know where your passion lies yet. The thing is, there is absolutely no need to panic. Take time to explore your options, even if it means working a variety of jobs, to ensure you find the right career path. Take Vincent van Gogh for example, it wasnt until his late 20s that he learned how to paint. Dont jump into a career because everyone else seems to know what they want to do. Let nature take its course V inspiration will strike when the time is right. According to a study by British cultural enterprise School of Life, over half of 20-somethings regret their career choice and wish they could do it all over.

Dialogue Example:

(Late Bloomers) Clare is graduating soon, but she doesnt know what she wants to do with her life. Her sister Elena is giving her advice. Lets listen to their conversation.

Clare: Gosh, graduation is in two weeks and I still dont have a clue what I want to do with my life!

Elena: Come on, youre only 22! The world is your oyster!

Clare: Its just that everyone else seems to know what they want to do already. Maybe I should just take any job that comes my way.

Elena: Who cares about other people! You should take all the time you need to figure out what it is that youre passionate about.

Clare: How long did it take for you to discover your passion?

Elena: WellKI still havent quite found itK

Clare: What? You graduated 5 years ago! What have you been doing all this time?

Elena: Waiting for inspiration to hit! Stan Lee, the guy that created Spider-Man, didnt begin drawing superheroes until he was 43! I still have plenty of time.
