算是William Labov的自传了吧,文中对成功的定义值得思考

"What is success?"
One man told me that it's figuring out what you want to do, and then getting someone to pay you to do it.


How I got into linguistics, and what I got out of it


by William Labov,
University of Pennsylvania


The following is an essay I first wrote for a 1987 publication addressed to undergraduates, which contained various answers to the question, "How did you get into your chosen field of work?" I recently revised it to answer the same question that I got in email messages from undergraduates in different parts of the world. -- W.L, October 1, 1997

I am once again convinced that only great minds can produce great sciences. Thanks for your recommendation.
