Or if that money-making website that you designed with your friends somehow suddenly attracts investors and advertisers and becomes the go-to site for whatever it is you're selling, blogging, sharing, or net-casting and success shinning, hoped-for but never really anticipated success comes your way. I guarantee you someone you know or love come to you and say, "Will you address the graduates at my college?" And you'll say "Yeah sure, when is it? May 2010? 2010? Yeah sure, that's months away" and then the nightmare begins. The nightmare we've all had and I want to assure you, you'll continue to have even after graduation, 40 years after graduation. About a week before the due date, you wake up in the middle of the night, "Huh, I have a paper due and I haven't done the reading, Oh my god!"
又或者,你和朋友设计的盈利性网站吸引了投资商或者广告商,从而成为热门网站,不论这个网站是商务网站、博客网站、分享网站,还是网络视频网站,成功在向你招手。摆在你面前的成功,是你一直暗自期待的,但是却又从来没指望它真正能够到来。我敢保证,你认识或者爱戴的人会来对你说:“能帮我给毕业生做个演讲吗?”你会回答:“当然,什么时候?2010年5月?2010?当然可以,还有好几个月呢!”然而这就是噩梦的开始。我们都会做噩梦,我可以肯定地说,就算你已经毕业四十年,你仍然会做噩梦。大约在最后期限前一周,某天半夜,你突然惊醒说:“哦!我有个报告要做,但是我还没有查相关资料,阅读相关书籍呢!哦,我的天哪!”
