入库时间：2017-06-14Teaching anyone to think of others before themselves is, I believe, a life-long effort. For me right
now, it might mean not buying that extra shirt or a cup of coffee and 41 saving the money to help someone 42 . For my kids, it might mean sharing 43 , happily taking turns in the playground. I like to 44 thinking of others and finding a way to help them as “kindness”.
On this particular day, instead of 45 a lot of money on a lunch out in the restaurant, we bought some 46 little toys to give to strangers. I asked the boys 47 they would like to give these toys to other children. At first they were disappointed because they wanted to 48 them. This wasn’t surprising----I knew that if my mom bought a whole lot of great shirts which I thought were for me, and then said she wanted to give them away, I might at first be a bit 49 , too. So we 50 them and my oldest child 51 we keep one and give the others away to make others happy. We 52 this was a good idea and then they started to get excited about the 53 of giving them away, asking me who they could give them to and how.
We 54 some slips of paper, punched(开洞) a hole, 55 them to the little dolls, and then headed out for the local mall.
The boys were very excited to be on their way to 56 the toys, and I admitted I was a bit 57 . What would the parents think as we gave their child a toy? Would they be 58 , or not like the gift? But I took some deep 59 and realized that if we are doing something out of love, we can only give with open 60 and accept whatever is to come.

入库时间：2017-05-15Back in business school, macho(自以为是的) kids like me studied finance. In the competition of life, money 21 winning, so those who managed the money would become the 22 . Didn't matter that I was a woman - I was as 23 as any guy you'd ever met.
It's taken me a lot of years, a lot of living, to 24 that my view of the world was upside down. The reality is: finance is for wimps(呆子). Finance is the easy part. However, It's much 25 to deal with people. The winners in society are the people who understand how to 26 other people.
In my 20s, I worked really hard. I 27 name-brand schools and piled on the degrees. I was 28 on my climb to the top as a successful real-estate developer. I worked full-time as I was studying, because I was 29 .
Then when I was 31, I got to the top in a way that I 30 imagined possible. I was 31 Deputy Mayor of Los Angeles. In that 32 , I collaborated with leaders from all sectors of society.
When our four-year term came to a 33 , I moved to another world of power and money, as a headhunter for CEOs and other 34 talent for the world's biggest companies.
As a result of all these 35 , I've had the chance to meet, befriend, and work with leaders from all sectors in countries throughout the world.
And here's what I've learned: the leaders are not the 36 IQ people in any organization. They didn't get the highest grades, they didn't 37 the highest exam scores. They got to the top 38 they have the ability to attract the best people to work for them. And at the root of that power of attraction is empathy(同感能力). Empathy is the ability to truly connect with other human beings. It's life's hardest but most 39 skill. And it's the skill 40 for leadership in a changing world.

You see, five years ago, my father and I had a serious __49__ and never resolved it since that time. We __50__ seeing each other unless we had to be at Christmas or other family gatherings. So last Tuesday by the time I got home I had __51__ myself I was going to tell my father I loved him.”
“The next day, I was at my parents’ house __52__ the doorbell. It was Dad who answered the door. I took one step in the door and said, ‘Dad, I just __53__ to tell you that I love you.’”
“It was as if a transformation came over __54__.Before my eyes his face softened, the wrinkles (皱纹) seemed to disappear and he began to cry.

If you asked high school girls to name their favorite sports，most would probably say basketball or volleyball．I happen to be one of the few girls who would 36 : surfing．But isn't that a boy thing? Some people 37 ．Most certainly not．

When I try to 40 surfing with other things，I find it very difficult because, in my 41 ，there's nothing like it. It involves body, 42 ，and soul．There's sand between my toes and cool，salt water all 43 us. The feeling I get when I'm surfing across that 44 ，becoming one with the 45 ，is like I'm weightless．
The one thing I can 46 from surfing and not any other sport is endless challenge．You can never be the "best surfer" because the ocean 47 an uncountable variety of waves that nobody can ever master. The variations of surfing styles are wonderful．Some surfers are free and flowing；others are very aggressive（活跃有力的）and 48 . All of these things attract me to surfing and make it 49 from any other sport．
I've 50 to tell every girl I know to do something that people don't think girls can do. It's part of being human to advance to new 51 ，so shouldn't it be expected that girls should step up and start 52 the limits of things boys and men used to dominate（主宰）？
There're women 53 side by side with the President of our country，so why not side by side with the boys 54 the football team or out in the water surfing？Give girls a chance to 55 ，and they will．

I spent 10 weeks volunteering in Arizona with America Conservation Experience(ACE), helping 43 America’s natural beauty.

I spent my time maintaining trails, building fences and carrying out projects in some of the national monuments of America.

And then there was the wildlife to deal with, which 50 my strength of character and made my 51 of the English household spider disappear.

Spending 10 weeks in America’s most beautiful national parks and forests was 55 . I gained a far deeper 56 of the local environment than the average tourist, 57 ex-national park rangers(护林者) who knew 58 of the area’s history and ecosystem.

When we started 44 his strawberries, all of a sudden Mr Jordan came outside.
“What are you boys doing out here?” he 45 and tried to grab one or two as my friends rushed past him, but they were too 46 for the older gentleman to seize, and all the boys except me disappeared within seconds.
Speed was never my 47 .So I could just stand there and 48 whatever punishment would surely come my way from Mr Jordan.
He marched me to my house and my mother criticized me. My friends gathered to celebrate their 49 and observe my capture. They 50 me about it for days afterwards, while all I could do was complain to my father about how 51 it was.
“I don’t think so,” Dad said. “You got the punishment you 52 .”
“But what about other guys?” I asked.
Dad said, “You can’t 53 what happens to other people. You can only 54 what happens to you. You picked Mr Jordan’s strawberries that night, and you were punished for it. To me, that is completely fair.”
Then I couldn’t 55 my father’s words. 56 through the years I knew what he talked about. We didn’t come to earth with a 57 that life would treat us fairly.

入库时间：2016-08-28Why do young adult children become independent so much later than they did in 1970，when the average age of independent living was 21? Why have reduced class sizes and increased per-pupil expenditures (花销）not 13 higher academic achievement levels? Why is the mental health of today’s kids so poor when 14 with that of children in the 1960s and before? Why do today’s 15 become defensive when told by teachers that their children have misbehaved in school?
The answer in two words: parental 16 . Those two words best summarize the 17 between “old” child raising and new, post-1960s parenting. Then, the overall philosophy was that parents were not to be 18 involved with their kids. They were available 19 crisis, but they stood a (an) 20 distance from their kids and allowed them to experience the benefits of the trial-and-error process. It was the child’s 21 , back then, to keep his or her parents from getting involved. That was 22 children learned to be responsible and determined.
Today’s parents help their kids with almost everything. These are parents who are 23 when it comes to an understanding of their purpose in their kids，lives. Their involvement leads them to personalize everything that happens to their kids; 24 , the defensiveness. But given that schools and mental health professionals have been pushing parent involvement for nearly four decades, the confusion and defensiveness are 25 .
University researchers analyzed three decades of data relating to parent participation in children’s academics. Their conclusions 26 what I’ve been saying since the 1980s: parental help with homework 27 a child’s academic achievement and is not reflected on standardized tests.
Parents who manage a child’s social life interfere with the 28 of good social skills. Parents who manage a child’s after-school activities grow kids who don’t know how to 29 their own free time. Parents who get involved in their kids, 30 with peers grow kids who don’t know how to avoid much less trouble.
These kids have anxieties and fears of all sorts and don’t want to leave their 31 . And their parents, when the time comes, don’t know how to 32 being parents. You can imagine what will become of their future.
