27、满活力的方式对待生活,但他们的事业却以截然不同的方式展开。美国作家埃内斯特海明威生于1899年,从少年时代起就一心一意地致力于写作。高中一毕业,他就加入了堪萨斯当地一家报社,成为了一名实习记者。他后来成为多伦多星报的外国记者,并利用他在欧洲和后来的古巴的非凡经历来为他的写作提供信息。用他的话说, “ 我决定把我所知道的每一件事都写一篇小说。” 在为自己设定了这个目标之后,他根据自己在第一次世界大战、西班牙内战、斗牛和深海捕鱼等方面的亲身经历创作了小说和短篇小说。他的短篇小说老人与海讲述了一位年迈的渔夫和他捕到的最大的一条鱼之间的三天史诗般的斗争,这部小说在1953年获得了普利策小说奖, 后来他
28、又获得了诺贝尔文学奖。相比之下,年轻的阿瑟柯南道尔于1859年出生在苏格兰,最初是一名医生。但道尔的主要抱负是成为一名历史小说作家。虽然他的一些历史小说已经出版,但它们的成功与他至今仍最出名的小说侦探夏洛克福尔摩斯的故事相比简直是小巫见大巫。有趣的是,道尔在伦敦行医等候病人时,就写了一些早期福尔摩斯的故事。福尔摩斯让他家喻户晓后,道尔放弃了医学,全身心地投入到写作中。除了其他学术作品,他还是渴望自己能因历史小说而出名。然而,公众却看不够夏洛克福尔摩斯。处于绝望之中的他在1893年出版的一本小说中让这位著名的侦探死去,这样他就可以专注于他的“严肃”写作了。然而,福尔摩斯的粉丝们非常愤怒,道尔在巨大的压力下,被迫让福尔摩斯起死回生。道尔的许多历史小说、戏剧、诗歌和学术论文在很大程度上被遗忘了,但福尔摩斯娱乐读者已经超过一个世纪了。虽然这两个人最终都成功了,但他们的成功之路却大不相同,他们的未来未必是完全如他们计划的那样。所以,无论你遇到什么挫折,像书中的这些作家学习,对意想不到的事情做好准备。正如著名的科技革新者史蒂夫乔布斯曾经说过的那样,“你不可能在展望未来的时候把点点滴滴串联起来;你只能在回顾的时候把它们联系起来。所以,你必须相信,这些点点滴滴会在你的未来以某种方式串联起来。”
