Someone asked me once: where do you see yourself in ten years? 曾经有人问我:你觉得十年后自己会在哪里?

I gave the usual answer. 我给了一个挺常规的回答。

A better title. 更高的职位。

A bigger salary. 更多的薪水。

Later, I tried a different question. 后来,我换了一个问题问自己。

Describe an ordinary Tuesday, ten years from now. 描述一下十年后一个普通的周二会是什么样。

Not a big day. 不是什么大日子。

Just a Tuesday. 就只是一个普通的周二。

So I wrote it down. 于是我把它写了下来。

I wake up without an alarm, around seven. 我没定闹钟,大概七点自然醒来。

There's light in the kitchen. 阳光照进厨房。

Someone I love is already there, making coffee badly. 我爱的人已经在那儿了,正笨手笨脚地煮着咖啡。

Outside the window, there's a tree. 窗外有一棵树。

In the evening, I cook something slow, 到了傍晚,我慢悠悠地做点吃的,

and nobody is in a hurry. 大家都不赶时间。

I read it back, and I was surprised. 我回头读了读这段文字,自己都愣住了。

There was no title in it. 里面根本没有提到什么职位。

No salary. 没有薪水。

No big house. 也没有大房子。

I'd forgotten to put them in. 我全给忘了写进去了。

Everything I'd been chasing was missing from the life I actually wanted. 我一直拼命追逐的那些东西,在我真正想要的生活里,全都不见踪影。

I kept the page. 我把那页纸留了下来。

It's a strange kind of map. 它像是一张奇特的地图,

It only shows a morning. 上面只画着一个清晨。
