感想

其实,从第一章开始,我一直好奇的一个问题就是,Trevor是怎样在南非这样一个艰苦的环境中,跳出生活的窘境,成为了现在的这个著名的喜剧演员,主持人的。结合近几年关于寒门能否出贵子的话题讨论和演讲也数不胜数。有说寒门再难出贵子,贫穷和富有之间的差距会再一次拉大的的,也有说人定胜天的。读这本书之前,并不知道Trevor这个人,是听了得到app上的一个关于Bill Gates的夏季书单的音频,才对这本书感兴趣的。开始读这本书之前,我看了一些关于Trevor的介绍。当时,一直萦绕在我脑海的一个问题就是,Trevor到底是怎么变成现在的这个人人口中潇洒,乐观的著名喜剧演员,主持人的。之前第一部分,我觉得是Trevor的妈妈的影响。今天读了这一章,我有一个新的认识,就是,不只是妈妈的影响,更多的还是Trevor本人的一些特质,让他有了今天的成就。这一章,讲的他的经济头脑,讲的他的Hip-hop,这些经历的过程中,Trevor有了冒险的精神,和经济头脑。这对他以后的成长和成就有了很大的影响。
