软硬兼施,李公子终于熬出头了——周末的音乐汇报演出拿了一等奖。
感谢并鼓励一下我自己。今晚出彩的快乐足以让他以前的枯燥和被强制的不快消失。很多事,感觉就像喝一杯糖沉在底下的水,前几口先勉强咽下,后面就甜了;如果开始就细品,哇,苦的,把杯子一扔,就永远没有甜了。苦尽甘来是理想的人生,先甜后苦的人生才真难咽。

听力材料上有一篇好文章,特翻译出来分享(原文附后)。
信息技术的影响无处不在,而且越来越深入。专家预测,10年内全球90%的人将会上网。网络将成为不可阻挡的力量,重塑社会格局,消除国家和民族的界限,深度连接经济生活,没有任何办法阻挡这一趋势……
不管变化如何,有一个事实是确定无疑的:我们的孩子将置身其中。
今天的孩子出生在一个数字世界。蹒跚学步时就用上了数码工具,这使他们很难区分虚拟世界和现实。他们更多地沉浸在虚拟世界里,没时间和人交流,甚至包括自己的父母。据统计,他们平均每天坐在电子荧屏前的时间长达7个小时。
在信息的海洋中,能高效抓住有效信息会成为未来的生存技能。因此,学习这个生存技能而不是被信息的洪流淹没,十分重要。怎样引导孩子将是一个我们必须面对的挑战。
首先,我们必须明白,面对着海一样的信息,机遇和挑战是并存的。什么内容、什么时候、在什么年龄段对孩子是合适的?谁来选择?媒体信息铺天盖地又唾手可得,但什么内容适合给孩子看,一直并没有共识。社会对内容的发布和管理也是众说纷纭。
如何选择信息,对孩子将来的影响是重大而深远的。往椅子后一靠、让孩子自己选择,满足他们一切的探索爱好和兴趣,现在看来是幼稚的。因此,信息技术给我们提供的是塑造未来的双刃剑,不但孩子需要提高在数字时代的生存能力,每一个成人也同样需要。

程序猿家长朋友可以看看这篇论文。英文有困难的话,我把中文翻译同时贴上。这是一篇改变金融史的文章。全文无法减去一个字,也不能增加一个字,完全符合奥卡姆剃刀原则。
它的厉害在哪里呢?我在老司机的建议下,投入5万实践了一把。6个月后,发现5的后面几乎增加了一个0。
我理财知识为零,没有炒过股,编程也是刚学,纯靠着英语带来的认知上的先发优势。
从这个文件开始,像一个循着亮光在暗夜中前行的孩子,我走着走着,突然发现了一群怀揣着火种的同行者……那种温暖让我迷恋、上瘾。
有需要的加我微信,因为微信的打开方式上传不了(还没学会,而且传上去有做广告的嫌疑。)

The impact of technology is widespread and accelerating. Experts predict that 90% of the world’s population will connect to the internet within ten years or less. Evolving technology has become an unstoppable force, reshaping our societies, ignoring national borders and inter-connecting economies. There doesn’t seem to be any way to control it.
However, one fact is certain: our kids are at the center of it…
Today’s children are born into a digital world. They use technologies and media from the time they begin to walk. Sometimes they have difficulties distinguishing between the virtual and the real world. In fact, children spend more time immersed in technology than they do with people, including their parents. It is estimated that they spend an average of 7 hours a day in front of some sort of digital device. With the ever increasing amount and flow of information, digital proficiency may be the next survival skill. Therefore it is essential that children learn how to develop that skill without losing themselves in the process. Guiding them is a challenge we need to face.
……
First, we need to realize that with so much exposure to content, there are both opportunities and dangers. What and when is something appropriate for children and at what age? Who decides? Media is so pervasive and accessible, yet there is no consensus about what is suitable. People have different perspectives not only about content, but also about how to govern access. Whatever the decision, the consequences will be enormous. It seems naïve to sit back and let children make their own decision and explore whatever captures their fancy. So technology has presented us with a huge dilemma that will shape the future. Not only children need to develop a digital intelligence, but also do each and everyone of us.
