A promotion letter shares the table with a weekly calendar already filled past midnight.

PARENT
The promotion proves that the sacrifices were worth making.

GRANDFATHER
A value becomes useful when it changes the calendar.
一种价值只有改变了日程安排，才开始有用。
ALICE
I will name what matters, the time it requires, and which obligation must change.
我会说清什么重要、它需要多少时间，以及哪项责任必须改变。
PARENT
Then compare the tradeoffs openly instead of calling every cost a sacrifice.
那就公开比较取舍，不要把每项代价都称作牺牲。
Three protected evenings appear on the calendar before the letter receives an answer.
在回复晋升信前，日历上先出现三个受保护的夜晚。
