小时候,每周六的早上对我来说,仅仅意味着一件事:一趟赶赴“波士顿科学博物馆”的旅行。
——纽约市市长,迈克尔·彭博
When I was growing up, saturday mornings meant one thing only to me: a trip to the Boston Museum of Science. I loved science — still do — and there was nowhere else I’d rather be. The museum’s instructors would give these fascinating two-hour lectures and demonstrate the laws of Physics using hands-on experiments. They would also quiz us on the museum’s exhibits, and all the kids would try to show off by having every answer. Those visits to the museum stretched my mind in ways that my schoolwork didn’t. They taught me to listen, question, test and analyze. Figuring out how things work — and how they can work better — is what led me to become an engineer, a technology Entrepreneur, a philanthropist and a mayor. I guess I can count my lucky stars that there were no Saturday morning cartoons when I was kid.
