离家很远 离目标很近 Miles away from home but much closer to my goals “什么‘因喜得’（In-See-Ad, 与欧洲工商管理学院英文名Insead谐音，译者注）学院？”“不，没有听说过。”“干吗不去哈佛、斯坦佛这些学校？” In-see-Ad?" "No, I've neverheard of it." "What happened to Harvard and Stanford?" “学制一年？这还是正经的MBA吗？” "Only one year? Is it a real MBA?" 我即将离开美国，远赴欧洲工商管理学院（Insead）新加坡校区，开始我的MBA求学之旅。我开始把这一消息告诉给我的亲朋好友，我的老板，甚至还有我的牙医。 I had begun the process of telling my family, friends, employer and even dentist that I would be leaving the US to move to Insead's Singapore campus and study on its MBA programme. “什么？欧洲的商学院，可是你要去新加坡，新加坡不是在亚洲吗？” "What? A European-based business school, but you're going to Singapore? Isn't Singapore in Asia?" 欧洲工商管理学院在法国枫丹白露和新加坡各有一个校区，在欧洲和世界各地都挺有名气，甚至很受尊敬。可是，我很快就发现，我的亲戚朋友们对商学院的认识还很闭塞。 While Insead - with its twin campuses in Fontainebleau, France and Singapore - is well known, even venerated, by many both in Europe and worldwide, I soon discovered that my acquaintances in the US tended to be more provincial in their understanding of business schools. 很快，我就要离开家去上学了。我家在新泽西的一个小镇上。镇上只有一条主要街道，名字叫“主街”；小镇上只有一家药房，名字叫“小镇药房”； 小镇上只有一家书店，名字叫“小镇书店”； 小镇上只有一家饭店，名字叫“小镇饭店”。 I will be leaving my home in small-town New Jersey to join the Singapore cohort. I will be leaving a town where there is only one main street, Main Street; one town pharmacy, Town Pharmacy; one town bookshop, Town Book Shop; and one town restaurant, Town Restaurant. 我是个在美国土生土长的年轻职业人，怎么会决定去拿一个国际MBA呢？ How did I, a young professional born, raised and educated in the US, make the decision to study for an international MBA? 我曾经在北卡罗莱纳州求学，在那里，我对国际事务产生了浓厚兴趣。在本科学习的那些年，我曾经去伦敦学习过。后来我还去比利时的滑铁卢工作过。那是强生公司（Johnson Johnson）欧洲总部所在地。我在那里负责强生公司医疗器械业务的技术方案管理。后来我回到北美总部，创建了一个类似的业务平台。 I studied in North Carolina where I developed a keen interest in international affairs. During my undergraduate years, I studied overseas in London. And later I accepted the opportunity to work in Waterloo, Belgium, the European headquarters for Johnson Johnson, where I managed technology solutions for J&J's medical devices sector. I returned to the North American headquarters where I created a similar platform. 尚在比利时的时候，一位高层主管就鼓励我申请欧洲工商管理学院。我很快就意识到，欧洲工商管理学院确实能够帮助我，让我持续发展自己的国际化职业生涯。 While I was still in Belgium a senior manager had urged me to apply to Insead and I rapidly realised that the school was the place where I could continue my development towards an international career. 欧洲工商学院在新加坡有个校区，进一步增加了该学校对我的吸引力。我想在全球背景下去了解商业。在上学以前，我所认识的商业仅限于北美和欧洲。 The existence of Insead's Singapore campus made the school that much more compelling, because of my desire to have a global understanding of business, which until then had only included North America and Europe. 可是，对我去欧洲工商管理学院和新加坡的想法，我的美国伙伴们并不是很认同。欧洲工商管理学院不在8小时车程之内，即便乘飞机，8小时也到不了。 My interest in Insead and Singapore, however, was not readily acceptable to my peers in the US. Going to Insead was not an eight-hour drive away, neither was it an eight-hour flight away. 可是机会到来时，我总是要求自己慎重思考，权衡利弊，而不是盲从他人的想法或者说法。 But when an opportunity presents itself, I have always told myself to think hard about whether or not to take the opportunity, in spite of what others might think or say.
