你与你的父母都不必操之过急,忧心忡忡。巴斯德、牛顿、爱迪生、达尔文以及其他许许多多的伟人,在少年时期都远非天才。事实上,我们有许多伟大的人物在少年时都表现得不尽人意。他们耽于空想,行动犹豫不决,甚至对周围世界反应迟钝,丝毫未显示出将来会成为伟人的任何迹象。 Neither you nor your parents need to be over-worried or worried. Pasteur, Newton, Edison, Darwin, and many other great men were far from genius in their youth. In fact, we have many great people who behave less well when they are teenagers. Their indulgence, their hesitancy in action, their unresponsiveness to the world around them, in no way show any signs of becoming a great man in the future.
