                                                                                                                  只选一把椅子
       ①有人曾向世界歌坛的超级巨星卢卡诺·帕瓦罗蒂请教成功秘诀,他每次都提到自己父亲的一句话。从师范院校毕业之后,痴迷音乐并有相当音乐素养的帕瓦罗蒂问父亲:“我是当教师呢,还是做个歌唱家?”其父回答说:“如果你想同时坐在两把椅子上,你可能会从椅子中间掉下去,生活要求你只能选一把椅子坐上去。”
        ②只选一把椅子,多么形象而又贴切的比喻。人之一生,说长也短,不容我们有过多的选择,那些左顾右盼、渴望拥有一切的人,往往因为目标不专一,最终却一无所获。
        ③近两年,明星复出成为娱乐圈一大引人注目的景观。许多曾在娱乐圈里大放光芒而今已被忘却的艺人们又纷纷回到幕前“重出江湖”,让观众重温他们的风采。沉寂了十几年的梁小龙再度复出后,他坦诚相告:“年轻那会儿,觉得一辈子就这么干上了演员有点不甘心,想看看自己还有没有其他潜质可以挖掘,结果失败了。我心里总还是挂念着影视发展,所以就又回来拍片了。”说到底,他的回来是在重新寻找自己的“椅子”。
       ④然而值得注意的是,这些复出的明星们,命运却各不相同,有的迎来了事业的第二个高峰,更多的则如石沉大海,难以再激起涟漪,原有的人气也削减了。因为这些明星们离开娱乐圈之后,或经商,或休息,停止了原来的努力,导致思维僵化,因此难有创新,即使复出,生命力仍不会太长。
        ⑤在一生中,我们会面临诸多选择,特别是在涉世之初或是创业之始,此时的选择尤为重要。一旦看准了方向,选定了目标,就要坚定不移地走下去。哪怕这条路崎岖不平,障碍重重,为众人所不齿,同行者寥寥无几,你都要“板凳坐得十年冷”,忍受孤独和寂寞,朝着一个主攻方向努力。尤其在诱人的岔路口,你必须不改初衷,有心无旁骛的坚定信仰和超然气度将它走完,一直走进美好的未来。
       ⑥巴尔扎克曾经不顾家人的反对,立志从事文学创作。虽然,期间他遭遇到初期的创作失败,又为了维持生活,不得不投笔从商,受尽欺骗,欠下不少债务,以至于警察局下通缉令要拘禁他,但他依然没有放弃自己的创作梦想,隐姓埋名、严肃认真地进行写作,最终成为享誉世界的高产作家。
        ⑦只选一把椅子,锁定一种努力的方向,可以决定和影响我们的一生。

Dear Anne,

    I like your column very much. I met a girl four years ago at a gym. She was the one who originally approached me and we became good friends. Then one day, she made me really angry, so angry that I just left and we never saw each other again.

    Looking back, I really regret ending things that way. It was a cowardly act on my part, but I had a terrible temper at that time and let the smallest thing get to me. Recently, I've started thinking about her again and I looked up her e-mail address. I thought about writing to say “Hi” and apologize for what I did but I'm not sure. She could still be angry with me, or maybe she has forgotten me. I feel very lonely and I want to see her again. What should I do?

Tom

Dear Tom,

    She may still be angry with you, and she may have forgotten the friendship between you, but that doesn't mean she doesn't deserve an apology. Tom, how many of us have wished for the day that someone who treated us badly saw the light and finally owned up? But we rarely get that kind of expected result. So sure, e-mail her and say “Hi”.

    Tell her you have been thinking about her and just want to apologize for getting angry and being a coward by walking out on her. But you should remember if she thinks you're apologizing just because you are lonely, she might dismiss your sincerity. Therefore, don't mention that. If she wants to see you again, she'll make sure that happens.

    Even if she doesn't want to be your friend, I can assure you, she'll appreciate the gesture. And it might make you think twice next time you get angry.

Anne
