知识改变人生



        还记得那个放羊娃的人生循环吗:放羊,赚钱,娶妻,生娃——娃再继续放羊。尽管有人说读书后也不过是另一种形式的循环,但教育的确有改变人生的力量,或许换一个环境,更能凸显这种力量。

Masoud Juya was born in a village near the Afghan city of Herat. From an early age, he worked in the family carpet-weaving business, but he also studied hard. When he was just 14, he opened his own school which teaches hundreds of pupils. Now Masoud is 28 and he's expanding his education business by opening his own private university. On the line from Herat, Masoud told me his story.
I actually started to work in carpet-weaving industry when I was five years old. And after working for three years, I became an expert in carpet weaving. And then I started supervising, you know, our small company, and then I did carpet weaving for a few years, yup.
And your parents didn't have much education. Did they want to get an education for you? Did they send you to school?
Sure. Actually education in my family, for me as the youngest kid, as well as my elder brothers and sisters who are all educated, has been a great value and my parents did want me to go to school.
So what was the school like when you first went there?
Oh well, when I first went to school I was five years old and I remember a teacher saying that I was not able to talk fluently in, you know, in my native language because I was very, you know, young. And so I remember I was not performing very well in the first semester. However, starting from the second semester till the end of the school I was the top student in my class and sometimes the top student in the school or in the whole province.不过让我们先来听这个:这是活生生的证据,证明教育能改变你和你周围人们的生活。马苏德·朱亚出生在阿富汗城市赫拉特附近的一个村庄。他从小就为家里的地毯编制生意干活,但他学习也很努力。年仅14岁,他就开办了自己的学校,教授数百名小学生。如今马苏德已经28岁了,他创立了自己的私立大学,扩展他的教育事业。我和身在赫拉特的马苏德电话连线,让他给我讲他的故事。
“我五岁的时候就已经开始在地毯编制业工作了。干了三年以后,我就成了地毯编制的专家,之后我就走上了管理岗位,你知道,管理我们家的小公司,然后我继续在这一行干了几年。就这样。”
你的父母没受过多少教育。他们想让你受教育吗?他们把你送去上学了吗?
当然了。其实教育在我们家里有很高的价值,无论是我这个最小的孩子还是我的哥哥姐姐们,我们都受过教育,我父母的确想让我去上学。
那么你第一次去上学的时候,学校是什么样子的?
噢,我入学的时候才五岁,我还记得有位老师说我连用母语说话都说不连贯,你知道,因为我太小了。所以我记得第一个学期我表现得不怎么样,不过,从第二个学期开始一直到学习结束,我都是班上最好的学生,有时候还是全校甚至全省最好的学生。
