Pavarotti was a well-known world music superstar.
Each time he was asked for advice about the secret of success, he mentioned his father's words.
Graduating from a normal university, Pavarotti asked his father," Will I be a teacher or a singer?"
Thinking for a moment, his father said," If you want to sit on two chairs, you may drop from the gap between the two chairs. Life requires you to choose one chair to sit on."
Finally, Pavarotti chose singing.
After seven year of failure, he performed on stage.
Then, after another seven years, he at last stepped on the stage of the Metropolitan Opera.

Success comes from the right choice. —— Sappho

只坐一把椅子
  帕瓦罗蒂是众所周知的世界歌坛超级巨星。
  当有人向他讨教成功的秘诀时，他每次都提到他父亲说过的一段话。
  在从师范学院毕业之际，帕瓦罗蒂问父亲：“我是去当教师还是去做个歌唱家？”
  父亲沉思了片刻说：“如果你想坐在两把椅子上，你可能会从两把椅子中间掉下去。生活要求你必须要有选择地坐到一把椅子上去。”
  帕瓦罗蒂最终选择了歌唱。
  经过7年的失败与努力，他首次登台演出。
  有过了7年，他终于登上了大都会歌剧院的大雅之堂。
