·As many of us already know, having plans in place for the future is no guarantee that they will

lives of two famous authors, born 40 years apart
在这方面,有些人比其他人更幸运,这可以通过比较两位相隔40年出生的著名作家的人生来
说明。
Although they shared the same ambitious and energetic approach to life, their careers unfolded in
contrasting ways

In his words. "I decided that I would write one story about each thing that I knew about."
用他的话说,“我决定把我知道的每件事都写成一个故事。”
·Having set himself this goal, he wrote novels and short stories based on his personal experiences
of the First World War, the Spanish Civil War, bullfighting and deep- sea fishing, amongst others
为自己定下了这个目标后,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,写了小说和短篇小说。

fisherman and the biggest fish he had ever caught, won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1953

By contrast, the young Arthur Conan Doyle, born in Scotland in 1859, had originally worked as a
doctor.
相比之下,1859年出生于苏格兰的年轻的亚瑟柯南道尔原本是一名医生。
But Doyle's main ambition was to become a writer of historical novels
但道尔的主要抱负是成为历史小说作家。
Although some of his historical novels were published, their success was nothing compared to the
stories of his fictional detective, Sherlock Holmes, which he is still best known for to this day
虽然他的一些历史小说出版了,但与他虚构的使探夏洛克一福尔摩斯的故事相比,它们的成功

Interestingly, Doyle wrote some of his early Holmes stories while he was waiting for patients in his
medical practice in London
有趣的是,一些早期福尔摩斯的故事就是道尔在伦敦行医时,等候病人的间隙写的。
After Sherlock Holmes made him a household name, Doyle gave up medicine and devoted himself
entirely to writing
夏洛克福尔摩斯使他家喻户晓之后,道尔放弃了医学,全身心投入写作。
He still longed to become known for his historical novels amongst other academic works
除了其他学术作品,他还是渴望自已能因历史小说而出名。
The public, however, couldn't get enough of Sherlock Holmes
然而,公众对夏洛克福尔摩斯的故事百读不厌。
In desperation, Doyle killed off the famous detective in a novel published in 1893 so that he could
focus on his"serious"writing
不得已,道尔在1893年出版的一本小说中杀死了这位著名的愤探,以便他能专注于他的“严

Holmes back from the dead
然而,福尔摩斯的粉丝们非常愤怒,道尔在巨大的压力下,被迫将福尔摩斯从死神身边救了

·Though both of these men were ultimately successful, their paths to success were very different
their futures not necessarily turning out exactly as they planned

and be prepared for the unexpected
所以,无论你遇到什么坎坷和曲折,都要以这两位作者为榜样,为意想不到的事情做好准备。
As renowned tech innovator Steve Jobs once said. " You can't connect the dots looking forward:

正如著名的科技创新者史蒂夫,乔布斯曾经说过的那样,“你无法预见性地将生命中的点滴连
