这句语录背后的故事
Adam Savage, the co-host of MythBusters, addressed the graduates of Sarah Lawrence College — a school famous for its liberal arts philosophy — as someone who embodies its ideals despite never having attended. A college dropout who spent his twenties lamenting his lack of specialization, Savage described how he eventually realized that his eclectic skills — billiards, juggling, unicycling, acting, sculpture — gave him something invaluable: context. He quoted Steve Martin's autobiography, where Martin recalls being told early in his career: 'You will eventually use everything you've ever learned.' Savage confirmed this was entirely true, and that his success in film special effects and MythBusters came precisely from his broad, generalist background.
