Is there any relief from some of thesepressures that I've been outlining? I think there is. I just want to turn to afew of them. Let's take meritocracy. This idea that everybody deserves to getwhere they get to, I think it's a crazy idea, completely crazy. I will support any politician of Left and Right, with any halfway-decent meritocratic idea; I am a meritocrat in that sense. But I think it's insane to believe that we will ever make a society that is genuinely meritocratic; it's an impossible dream.
有什么方法可以解決剛才提到的這些焦慮呢?是有的。我想提出幾項,先說“功績主義”,也就是相信每個人的地位忠實呈現(xiàn)他的能力,我認為這種想法太瘋狂了,我可以支持所有相信這個想法的,無論是左傾還是右傾的政治家,我同樣相信功績主義,但我認為一個完全徹底以能力取決地位的社會,是個不可能的夢想。

成功絕非偶然。它是努力工作、堅持不懈、學(xué)習(xí)、研究、犧牲,最重要的是對你所做事情的熱愛。
