At least once a year, there are a lot of graduations.
It’s a time when a lot of people move on,
from where they were, to another school or another class,
or out into a real world.
To graduate means to take a step forward, to move onward.
I can remember my high school graduation,
my graduation from university,
and even my graduation from graduated school.
Each of those graduations was nice.
I took pictures, I got flowers, I hug my parents.
I had the motions to moving on, I want to stay and have more fun.
我曾有想继续下去的动力,我希望留下并获得更多的乐趣。
But I also want to move on.
When we hear the word graduation, we naturally think of graduating from school.
当我们听到毕业那个词,我们很自然地会想到从学校毕业。
But I think it’s possible to graduate from different places, or stages in life.
但我认为这是有可能是从不同的地方或不同阶段的生活毕业。
I worked in a company in New York for about three years.
In one point I felt I couldn’t learn anything else from the company,
where the people I was working with.
Then I had hit a ceiling, I felt that was time to move on.
然后我已经达到了一种上限,我觉得是继续前行的时候了。
The way that I describe that moving on is a graduation.
Some times we are thrown out into the world or to the next level,
whether we are ready or not.
Other times we get the truth when we want to move on.
I preferred the second one, where I have a choice,
I like the truth when and how, but we don’t always get what we want,
我喜欢这个何时以及如何的事实,但我们不能总是得到我们想要的东西,
since we can learn from every experience that we have,
each experience can be a stepping stone for us to be better people.
每次经历都可以成为我们的一块垫脚石而成为更好的人。
I know that I take lessons with me every time I graduated,
but some times I can be a slow learner.
I wonder when my next graduation is going to be.
