"Whoever is well educated to discharge the duty of a man," says Rousseau, "cannot be badly prepared to fill any of those offices that have relation to him. It matters little to me whether my pupils be designed for the army, the pulpit, or the bar. Nature has destined us to the offices of human life antecedent to our destination concerning society. To live is the profession I would teach him. When I have done with him, it is true he will be neither a soldier, a lawyer, nor a divine. Let him first be a man. Fortune may remove him from one rank to another as she pleases; he will be always found in his place."

白话
卢梭说,一个人若受过良好教育、能尽做人的本分,那他为任何相关职业都能做好准备。学生将来是当兵、做牧师还是当律师,他并不太在意。因为自然先让我们成为人,然后才谈社会角色。他要教的是“如何生活”这门职业。教完之后,学生可能既不是军人,也不是律师或神职人员,但首先是个合格的人。命运可以把他从一种身份抛到另一种身份,他总能找到自己的位置。核心是:先成人,再成事。
上下文
卢梭是18世纪法国启蒙思想家,这段话体现他《爱弥儿》中“先教做人”的教育观。

如果抛开职业标签,你觉得自己在“做人”这门课上,最需要补的是什么?
