海归与海不归:充满what ifs 的抉择

每个人一路走来, 回头一看, 常常感慨万千. 自己不小心出国, 而阴差阳错, 成了HBG. 而看看留守国内的同学, 留守国内的自己的前同事, 常想, 如果自己当时在人生的关键时刻, 做了不同的选择, 结果会是怎样. 但人生不能重来, 而自己即使留在国内 , 难道就没有更多自己料想不到的变化吗! 曾经沧海, 一生风风雨雨, 追求自己的理想和吃苦耐劳的精神, 又何尝不是一笔宝贵的人生财富呢! 从地球一端, 走到另一端, 走过美国大部分州和海岸山川, 到世界各地观摩和会友, 让自己的下一代拥有更广阔的天空和自由, 这还不足亦!

当然, 现在又有很多人又跃跃欲试, 要将这一移民的艰辛, 海归重走一遍. 不管选择如何, 我想大家都应该对自己的选择坦然对待, 人生的路, 就是不断地接受挑战和不停地经历.

The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I--
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

[sunlicht]

很喜欢这首诗.

读凯鲁亚克的《在路上》,觉得人生也是在路上, 终点在哪里并不知道, 我们不可能拥有所有的风景, 但一路走来, 很多选择都经过慎重考虑, 可以无悔面对自己当初走过的路.
