You got a dream, you got to protect it. People can't do something themselves, they want to tell you that you can't do it. You want something? Go get it.

---quoted from The Pursuit of Happyness

閱讀像是敲門磚，

可以打開人類知識之門。

當一個孩子有健全的人格，

又有閱讀的習慣時，

他就有面對未來世界必備的條件，

世界雖大，

他已可任意翱翔，

他的人生可以掌握在自己的手中。

---洪蘭  《通情達理 品格決定未來》

Think it Over

Of course children benefit from positive feedback. But praise and rewards are not the only methods of reinforcement. More emphasis should be place on appreciation-reinforcement related explicitly and directly to the content of the child's interest and efforts.

---Lilian G. Katz
