人们都说我们这一代人学财务，是为了下一代能学艺术。事实上，任何一代只要志趣所在，都可以投身艺术。但是，它说明一个道理，玩艺术最好家里有点经济基础。不过，这里说的学艺术不是学着玩，指的是考艺术院校，将来以艺术为职业。艺术看起来不会创造什么实际价值，但它却是让我们成为文明人的标志。即使对于普通人，艺术也是润滑剂（lubricant），让人生更有意义。

People often say that our generation get into finance in order for our next generation to be able to go into the arts. Actually, any generation can devote into arts if they have an interest in it. Nevertheless, it reveals a truth, that is, if you want to go into the arts, you’d better have a well-off familyHere, by saying “go into the arts”, we don’t mean dabbling in art for fun, but enrolling in art school and choosing art as a career for life. Art seems to produce nothing of real value, but it is a sign of our civilization. Even for ordinary people, art works as a lubricant, adding more meaning to life.
