One of history’s few iron laws is that luxuries tend to become necessities and to spawn new obligations. Once people get used to a certain luxury, they take it for granted. Then they begin to count on it. Finally they reach a point where they can’t live without it.
---Sapiens: A Brief History of Mankind by Yuval Harari
想到我的历史老师C女士一直在跟我们灌输随便考考然后先上community college然后再转进名校的捷径,当然啦大家都没有信,(按我的理论,C女士上大学的时候大概还是十五世纪呢)。
我们都是被勤奋走向成功论驯养的人类啊,我已经不知道除了这条路还有什么以外的路可走了。
PS.: 推荐这本书,里面有很多有趣的论点。
