I am going to stay in my home town and have a nice comfortable career in a salaried job." That second choice no longer exists for the vast majority of Americans. All of us are going to be creators and pioneers over the next ten years whether we like it or not, and many of us don't like it.
Just look at what the attitude surveys tell us. In the United States, 3/4 of the adults surveyed by the Harris Poll and 2/3 of all high-school seniors surveyed by Scholastic magazine say they believe that the United States will be a worse place ten years from now than it is today.在过去经济平稳发展的美好时光──20世纪50年代和60年代──人们可以选择某种既新鲜刺激，又有创意的事干，但也可能会说：“那不是我要做的工作，我打算在生活中稳扎稳打。我打算留在家乡，找一个舒适的、拿薪水的好工作。”现在对绝大多数美国人来说，上述第二种选择已不复存在。不管我们喜欢与否，在以后的10年里我们都得创造和开拓，当然我们当中有许多人并不喜欢这样。
看一看民意调查告诉我们些什么吧！在美国，哈里斯民意测验所调查的四分之三成年人、《学人》杂志所调查的三分之二的高中生都说，他们认为10年以后美国将变成一个比现在更糟糕的地方。
