Dear John,

親愛的 John，

Choosing to go to a vocational school is like batting during a baseball game.

選擇就讀職業學校就像在棒球比賽中揮棒一樣。

When you stand at home base and swing your bat,

當你站在本壘揮棒時，

you don't know if you're going to hit a home run or not.

你不知道你是否能擊出全壘打。

However, you do know that you must focus on the ball.

但是，你知道你必須專注在球上。

Making choices is the same way.

做決定也是同樣的道理。

No one can tell you whether it's right to go to a vocational school.

沒有人能告訴你是否就讀職業學校是對的決定。

You need to think deeply and listen to your heart before making your choice.

你需要深思並在你選擇前傾聽你的心。

If you do that, you'll have a better chance of hitting a home run.

如果你那樣做的話，你將更有可能擊出一支全壘打。

Maybe you're simply too worried to think clearly,

或許你只是太煩惱而不能清楚地思考，

but you should listen to the voice inside your heart.

但是你該傾聽你內心的聲音。

It will never do you wrong.

它永遠不會蒙蔽你。

If you love art, then go to a vocational school.

如果你喜歡藝術，那就去讀職業學校。

You can take hands-on classes and learn new skills.

你可以修習實作課程並學習新的技能。

All of those will help you sail successfully into your future.

這些都將幫助你成功地航向你的未來。

Here's a poem for you.

這些都將幫助你成功地航向你的未來。

Good luck!

祝你好運！

Shh....

噓……

Shh....

噓……

Can you hear it?

你聽到了嗎？

Listen.

聽。

Listen.

聽。

It’s talking to you.

它正在跟你對話。

It's telling you what is true.

它正在告訴你什麼才是真的。

It never lies to you.

它永遠不會對你說謊。

Why is this?

為什麼會這樣呢？

Because it is your best friend.

因為它是你最好的朋友。

It is you.

它就是你自己。

Yours truly, Emily

你忠誠的， Emily
