Description

Here's sensible advice and caring encouragement on raising boys from the nation's most trusted parenting authority, Dr. James Dobson.
With so much confusion about the role of men in our society, it's no wonder so many parents and teachers are asking questions about how to bring up boys. Why are so many boys in crisis? What qualities should we be trying to instill in young males? Our culture has vilified masculinity and, as a result, an entire generation of boys is growing up without a clear idea of what it means to be a man.

In the runaway bestseller Bringing Up Boys, Dr. Dobson draws from his experience as a child psychologist and family counselor, as well as extensive research, to offer advice and encouragement based on a firm foundation of biblical principles.

  • 就怕平庸成為你人生的注解
    就怕平庸成為你人生的注解
    By 歐陽立中

    最會寫「爆文」的名師作家，繼好評著作《飄移的起跑線》後，再次書寫激勵人心的熱血篇章！翻轉古文、創意語文教學，國文課不再被選文綁架，而是在玩文字的過程中提升語文力，同時教你人生戰鬥力！也許你渴望歲月靜好，但不是現在；也許你想要平庸安穩，但不是此刻。永遠別忘記眼裡有光、心中有火的自己！夢想才該是我們人生的注解，平庸不是。所有的強者都對自己有超乎常人的要求，所有的冠軍球隊都是在出手奮戰後贏得榮耀，雖然每次的努力不一定都能獲得公平的結果，但努力過後得到的回憶，最是刻骨銘心。只要你堅持到底，最終必能成就自己。為了成就暢銷作家的夢想，歐陽立中刷下了一張神祕的信用卡，此後為了償還積欠的卡債，他逼自己瘋狂閱讀、每日寫作，沒有人比他更懂得什麼叫做「努力」，因為他完全就是個為夢想不計代價的瘋子。如今，他以暢銷作家握有的那枝生花妙筆，寫出他與學生共同經歷的校園生活點滴以及他們共同走過的成長之道，也寫出他在帶領學生翻轉古文、為張愛玲做履歷健檢、為園遊會寫吸睛文案、為青春譜戰歌的同時，如何在各種機會教育的場合裡，向學生業配這張神祕的「夢想信用卡」。他要讓每一個人知道，面對人生，我們必須努力不懈、堅持到底、勇於追求自己想要的精采人生；面對未來，我們必須拒絕平庸，成就更好的自己。這樣的歐陽立中，寫給這樣的你—．站在人生十字路口感到迷茫不敢追求夢想的你。歐陽立中與你分享自己如何勇敢刷下「夢想信用卡」，絕不放棄自己的天命。．屢戰屢敗耗盡氣力已趴倒不想再站起的你。歐陽立中告訴你失敗一定有原因，與你分享他和學生如何避免在同樣的地方跌倒第二次。．正肆意揮霍青春資本還沒想清楚未來方向的你。歐陽立中與你分享自己的青春時光如何在球場上揮灑汗水，因為不出手便無法奪冠。．日復一日了無新意工作只是為了薪水的你。歐陽立中與你分享他如何翻轉課文，與學生在課堂上激發各種創意，工作不只是工作，它可以是一線光。歐陽老師的熱血金句【關於人生】．別說了難，就心安理得放棄了。因為到頭來，你會發現，人生都馬很難，只有變胖最容易。．我們不知道每次的努力是不是都能獲得公平的結果，但回憶不騙人，永遠對我們的努力，加倍奉還。．你的放棄，成就了別人的天命。你要堅持，堅持到別人放棄，讓他們來成就「你的天命」！【關於學習】．學習就是複利投資，剛開始不見漲幅，把急功近利的人嚇跑了。只剩那些持續累積的人，獨享複利堆下來的滿滿金幣。．重要的不是追求「知識量」，而是追求「知識鏈」。學習，是為了解決生活遇到的問題。【關於青春】．所謂成長，不過是在無數平凡時刻，有紀律的進行乏味的練習！．放在心裡、沒說出口的感謝，那不叫感謝，叫膽怯。．在青春的賽道上，唯一的失敗就是不參與。【關於教育】．推廣閱讀最好的方法，就是讓閱讀跟喝水一樣容易，隨裝隨飲，隨取隨讀。．要賞的不給，傻做的給賞。．要老鷹教小鷹飛，卻把老鷹的腳綁上鍊子，那天空永遠只會是布景。名人推薦【專文推薦】沈雅琪│神老師＆神媽咪林怡辰│彰化縣原斗國小教師郭進成│高雄市英明國中公民教師、《學思達與師生對話》作者【溫暖推薦】余懷瑾│仙女老師張輝誠│學思達創始人
