，我被診斷出患了癌癥。我早上七點半作了掃描，清楚地顯示在我的胰腺有一個腫瘤。我當時都不知道胰腺是什么東西。醫(yī)生們告訴我這幾乎是無法治愈的，還有三到六個月的時間。我的醫(yī)生建議我回家，整理一切。在醫(yī)生的辭典中，這就是“準備死亡”的意思。就是意味著把要對你小孩說十年的話在幾個月內(nèi)說完；意味著把所有東西搞定，盡量讓你的家庭活得輕松一點；意味著你要說“永別”了。I

College）只讀了六個月就退學(xué)了，此后便在學(xué)校里旁聽，又過了大約一年半，我徹底離開。那么，我為什么退學(xué)呢？這得從我出生前講起。我的生母是一名年輕的未婚在校研究生，她決定將我送給別人收養(yǎng)。她非常希望收養(yǎng)我的是有大學(xué)學(xué)歷的人，所以把一切都安排好了，我一出生就交給一對律師夫婦收養(yǎng)。沒想到我落地的霎那間，那對夫婦卻決定收養(yǎng)一名女孩。就這樣，我的養(yǎng)父母——當時他們還在登記冊上排隊等著呢——半夜三更接到一個電話: “我們這兒有一個沒人要的男嬰，你們要么？”“當然要”他們回答。但是，我的生母后來發(fā)現(xiàn)我的養(yǎng)母不是大學(xué)畢業(yè)生，我的養(yǎng)父甚至連中學(xué)都沒有畢業(yè)，所以她拒絕在最后的收養(yǎng)文件上簽字。不過，沒過幾個月她就心軟了，因為我的養(yǎng)父母許諾日后一定送我上大學(xué)。年后，我真的進了大學(xué)。當時我很天真，選了一所學(xué)費幾乎和斯坦福大學(xué)一樣昂貴的學(xué)校，當工人的養(yǎng)父母傾其所有的積蓄為我支付了大學(xué)學(xué)費。讀了六個月后，我卻看不出上學(xué)有什么意義。我既不知道自己這一生想干什么，也不知道大學(xué)是否能夠幫我弄明白自己想干什么。這時，我就要花光父母一輩子節(jié)省下來的錢了。所以，我決定退學(xué)，并且堅信日后會證明我這樣做是對的。當年做出這個決定時心里直打鼓，但現(xiàn)在回想起來，這還真是我有生以來做出的最好的決定之一。從退學(xué)那一刻起，我就可以不再選那些我毫無
