“The boy went home and thought about it long and hard. He asked his father what he should do. His father said, ‘Look, son, you have to make up your own mind on this. However, I think it is a very important decision for you.’ Finally, after a week, the boy turned in the same paper, making no changes at all. He stated, ‘You can keep the F and I’ll keep my dream.’ ”
Monty then turned to the assembled group and said, “I tell you this story because you are sitting in my 4,000-square-foot house in the middle of my 200-acre horse ranch. I still have that school paper framed over the fireplace.” He added, “The best part of the story is that two years ago that same schoolteacher brought 30 kids to camp out on my ranch for a week. When the teacher was leaving, he said, ‘Look, Monty, I can tell you this now. When I was your teacher, I was something of a dream stealer. During those years I stole a lot of kids’ dreams. Fortunately you had enough gumption not to give up on yours.’ ”
“Don’t let anyone steal your dreams. Follow your heart, no matter what,” Monty at last concluded.
我有一个朋友叫蒙蒂•罗伯茨,他拥有一座养马场。他让我用他的房子作为举办筹集基金活动的地点。上次我在他那儿时,他跟我说:“我想给你讲一个故事。这要追溯到一个年轻人身上发生的故事,他是一位巡回驯马师的儿子,他的驯马师父亲从马厩到赛马场,从农庄到牧场,负责训练那里的马匹。结果,这个男孩的中学生涯就不断地被中断。当他成为一名高年级学生的时候,老师要求他写一篇文章,内容有关他长大后想成为什么人以及想做些什么。
