“我现在是多么困惑、烦恼和无助啊!我的上帝呀,我知道我这是在堕落,可我又能怎样呢?”
“How puzzled, annoyed and helpless am I now! My lord, I know I am Falling now, but what else can I do?”
我回信是这样写的:
My reply was written like that:
“一个优秀、努力、自信、自觉的学生,进了名牌大学,他能取得成功的概率也许是90%,进了其他重点大学,概率也许会降到85%,进了普通高校,这个概率也不会低于80%。
A excellent, hard-working, confident and self-conscious student, if he/she entered the prestigious university, the probability of success may around 90%, if entered other key university, the chance may fall to 85%, even in normal university, the possibility won’t be lower than 80%.
“但是,一个没有良好的价值观,没有正确态度的学生,即便进了名牌大学,他的成功概率也一定是零。
“ But a student without right values and attitude, even he/she entered the prestigious university, the chance of success will still be zero.”
“我自己当初申请大学时,最想进的哈佛大学、斯坦福大学都没有录取我。结果,我去了哥伦比亚大学。但我并没有选择自卑和沮丧,我很好地把握住85%的成功机会,在学业和事业上都做出了很好的成绩。
“When I applied universities, I didn’t accepted by Harvard University and Stanford University which I want to enter the most. As a result, I went to Columbia University, but I didn’t feel low self-esteem and depression, I grab the 85% opportunity of success, doing a great job both in study and career.
“祝愿你把握住85%的成功机会,不要成为一个自暴自弃的人。”
“Hope you can grasp the 85% opportunity of success and stop abandonment.”
