選擇 THE ROAD NOT TAKEN Robert Frost (1874–1963) Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveler, long I stood And looked down one as far as I could To where it bent in the undergrowth; Then took the other, as just as fair, And having perhaps the better claim, Because it was grassy and wanted wear; Though as for that the passing there Had worn them really about the same, And both that morning equally lay In leaves no step had trodden black. Oh, I kept the first for another day! Yet knowing how way leads on to way, I doubted if I should ever come back. I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence: Two roads diverged in a wood, and I- I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference. 人生是無數個選擇連接而成的，也因此，人生中的選擇總是路路相連，彷彿是一場迷宮遊戲，在沒有揭露接下來的生命戲碼之前，永遠無法得知這轉折會將人生帶往何處，就像林中岔路，走了這一條，往後也不一定會有機會回頭嘗試另一條路。但也因為這樣的選擇，此後人生大不同。 而我，冥冥中選擇了「經濟學子」作為終身職志，也讓我的人生大為不同。因為經濟學即是一門研究如何選擇的大學問，由認知任何的選擇均須付出代價，有捨有得，到現實生活中的點滴應證，以致我可以坦然面對我的人生，並體會一輩子學習如何作最適選擇的樂趣。
