關鍵思考二 重新定位自己
「教養是親子相互影響的過程」台灣師範大學人類發展與家庭學系副教授林如萍指出,以往談親職,焦點多半放在「如何教?」以父母為中心,希望種瓜得瓜、種豆得豆。但現在的親職內涵,是講互動,重點在爸媽觀察到孩子什麼樣的特質、對教養結果的期待是什麼,釐清了這兩個前提,再來談教養的方法。實行教養的同時,孩子會給予回饋,不論正向或負向的回應,爸媽也從這個回饋中修正教養的態度及方式,從過程中獲得如何當爸媽的學習。
新手父母先問自己三個問題
關鍵思考一 我是誰?
友緣基金會執行長廖清碧說,孩子人格的形塑,受到父母的年紀、健康、家庭經濟條件、手足人數四個因素影響。在這些因素交互影響下,發展出今天的人格特質,有一天當了爸媽,這四個因素也會交互影響著你的寶寶將成為什麼樣的人。

面臨教養困境時,可試著檢視自己和原生家庭的關係及童年的成長經驗。有些爸媽印刻在心底的童年成長經驗很美好,育兒過程會不自覺的複製自己童年的美好經驗,把童年所感受到的滿滿的愛也傳遞給自己的孩子。

有些父母的童年經驗有不愉快的回憶,有了孩子後,並不想複製原生父母的教養模式,此時可能出現兩種教養行為:一是矯枉過正,例如小時候物質過於匱乏,當自己有了小孩,便在物質上過度滿足孩子。二是無意識的重複原生父母的教養模式,但打心底又排斥在這樣教養模式下所展現的自己,於是出現了教養的矛盾。例如自己求學過程中,成績一直不如父母預期,當了爸媽後,雖然告訴自己,孩子的成績不是最重要的,但看到不理想的成績單,還是忍不住對孩子發了脾氣,要孩子用功些。
7 Principles Behind Steve Jobs' Innovative Genius

Steve Jobs was one of those entrepreneurs who seemed universally either loved or hated, but not many will argue with his ability to innovate in the technology product arena over the years. He was instrumental in creating Apple, which has pioneered a dazzling array of new products, and even surpassed Microsoft, to become the world’s most valuable technology company.

Carmine Gallo, in one of his secrets books “The Innovation Secrets of Steve Jobs,” outlines Jobs “insanely different principles for breakthrough success.” I’m not convinced that Jobs’ world was that simple, but Carmine has boiled it down to seven principles, which I suggest every entrepreneur can learn from, as follows:

Do what you love. Think differently about your career. Steve Jobs followed his heart his entire life and that, he said, made all the difference. Innovation cannot occur in the absence of passion and, without it, you have little hope of creating breakthrough ideas.

Put a dent in the Universe. Think differently about your vision. Jobs attracted like-minded people who shared his vision and who helped turn his ideas into world-changing innovations. Passion fueled Apple’s rocket and Jobs’ vision created the destination.

Kick start your brain. Think differently about how you think. Innovation does not exist without creativity, and for Steve Jobs, creativity was the act of connecting things. Jobs believed that a broad set of experiences broadened the understanding of the human experience.

Sell dreams, not products. Think differently about your customers. To Jobs, people who bought Apple products were never “consumers.” They were people with dreams, hopes, and ambitions. Jobs built products to help them fulfill their dreams.

Say no to 1,000 things. Think differently about design. Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication, according to Jobs. From the designs of the iPod to the iPhone, from the packaging of the Apple’s products to the functionality of the Apple Web site, innovation means eliminating the unnecessary so that the necessary may speak.

Create insanely great experiences. Think differently about your brand experience. Jobs made Apple stores the gold standard in customer service. The Apple store has become the world’s best retailer by introducing simple innovations any business can adopt to make deep, lasting emotional connections with their customers.

Master the message. Think differently about your story. Jobs was a great corporate storyteller, turning product launches into an art form. You can have the most innovative idea in the world, but if you cannot get people excited about it, it doesn’t matter.

Carmine suggests and I agree that these principles for breakthrough innovation will only work if you see yourself as the brand. Whether you are an entrepreneur working out of your bedroom, or a small business owner looking for ideas to improve your business, you represent the most important brand of all – yourself.

How you talk, walk, and act reflects upon the brand. Most importantly, how you think about yourself and you business will have the greatest impact on the creation of new ideas that will grow your business and improve the lives of your customers.

Thus you need to look inward first and assess your basic potential. Then imagine what you could achieve in business with the real insight and inspiration. Imagine what you could accomplish if you had Steve Jobs guiding your decisions. What would Steve Jobs do? Follow the principles above and you can do it too.

台灣教育基礎教學太薄弱

每回與在國外讀高中的學生聊天
幾乎每一個孩子都會說"數學、物質、化學、生物"教的好簡單哦!進度好慢!
這一次寒假留學營隊,有一位成功高中的學生,William 卻分享了不同的覌奌
他說:在聖仕司學校他上了數學、物理、化學等學科的基礎概念,改變了他的學習態度,因為他說在台灣上課對於基礎概念上太少,就直接上運算及題庫練習
值得深思
以下是分享自天下雜誌
父母真得多費心了

在普林斯頓大學部念物理,幾個諾貝爾獎得主一起開課,越基礎的課程,越是資深教授開課。

但我們大學相反,基礎學科太弱,卻學很多應用面的課程。但應用面的課程會隨著科技、時代日新月異,大一學的,四年畢業後便派不上用場。工學院、商學院都一樣,如果基礎能力強,代表很多事情的原理,你是清楚的,你很容易解決這個問題。如果在學習過程就採取就業導向,做事的方法、對事情的取捨,乃至心態都是不對的。
