爱德华·博克《爱德华·博克自传》· The Americanization of Edward Bok · 领导
Looking back and viewing the theatrical profession even as it was in that day (of a much higher order than now), he is convinced he would never have been happy in it. He might have found this out in a year or more, after the novelty of travelling had worn off, and asked release from his contract; in that case he would have broken his line of progress in the publishing business. From whatever viewpoint he has looked back upon this, which he now believes to have been the crisis in his life, he is convinced that his mother's instinct saved him from a grievous mistake.

白话
博克回看当年的戏剧行业(那时水准比现在高得多),确信自己若入行绝不会快乐。他可能一两年后新鲜感消退才发现,然后要求解约;那样就会打断他在出版业的发展。无论从哪个角度看,他都认为那是人生的危机时刻,而母亲的直觉救了他,使他免于犯下大错。核心是:有些错误要花很久才显形,而旁观者的直觉能提前预警。做法是:对需要长期投入的选择,先设想“一年后新鲜感没了我会怎样”,再决定是否迈出。
上下文
博克在自传中回顾母亲阻止他进入戏剧界一事,多年后仍认为那是人生的关键转折。
今日一问
如果你对某个新机会的兴奋主要来自新鲜感,一年后新鲜感没了,你还会想做吗?
