柳暗花明

朋友担心我写的都是不入流的文字，不像那些德高望重的大教授——要么天天讲授学术与人生道理，要么闷声发大财，就算天塌下来，也不哼一声。 今天，我就试着讲件正经事。这件事太久远了，再不写下来，恐怕真的要忘了。 我猜很多人都有过这样的经历：你越是身处困境，越是四面受阻；你辛辛苦苦做成了一件好事，却偏偏找不到讲理的地方。我们可以阿Q式地说“坚持”，但现实却往往艰难曲折。老师要开始八卦，同学们准备好了吧。 读完博士后，我心里有种扬眉吐气的感觉，觉得这辈子再也不用交作业或者考试了。正因如此，我给学生布置的作业偏轻，学生考试的时候，我甚至有点欺负他们的感觉。 然而，毕业后才发现，博士毕业并不是“柳暗花明”，而是从充满激情、胸怀大志、有章有序的生活，跳进了一个连自己影子都看不见的洞。是“洞”，若说是陷阱，未免显得太夸张。 当学生时，考个及格，写篇发表不了的论文，老师照样发工资，还能让你顺利毕业。…
