There are some people who just can"t make up their minds by themselves. They frequently ask
the advice of their friends and then do the opposite (相反的事) of what their friends have suggested.
My brother Tom is such a person. He can never decide what to do, and is always asking my
opinion. I try to help him as much as I can, but he never takes my advice. Yesterday I answered his question in a different way.
He showed me a letter and asked, "What do you think I should do?"
The letter was an offer of a job. It seemed to be an excellent opportunity for a young engineer. Tom would be sent to Africa to work. The job would pay very well, and he would be able to travel and visit many interesting places.
"What do you think, Bill?" he asked. "Should I go? If I accept the job, I"ll have to stay in
Africa for two years. I might have to stay longer. But it would be wonderful experience for me. What should I do?"
"Don"t go. " I said. Then he looked surprised at my answer.
As you"ve probably guessed, Tom accepted the offer and went to Africa.
