內容簡介
From composer, musician, and philanthropist Peter Buffett comes a warm, wise, and inspirational book that asks, Which will you choose: the path of least resistance or the path of potentially greatest satisfaction?
You may think that with a last name like his, Buffett has enjoyed a life of endless privilege. But the son of billionaire investor Warren Buffett says that the only real inheritance handed down from his parents was a philosophy: Forge your own path in life. It is a creed that has allowed him to follow his own passions, establish his own identity, and reap his own successes.
In Life Is What You Make It, Buffett expounds on the strong set of values given to him by his trusting and broadminded mother, his industrious and talented father, and the many life teachers he has met along the way.
Today’s society, Buffett posits, has begun to replace a work ethic, relishing what you do, with a wealth ethic, honoring the payoff instead of the process. We confuse privilege with material accumulation, character with external validation. Yet, by focusing more on substance and less on reward, we can open doors of opportunity and strive toward a greater sense of fulfillment. In clear and concise terms, Buffett reveals a great truth: Life is random, neither fair nor unfair.
From there it becomes easy to recognize the equal dignity and value of every human life—our circumstances may vary but our essences do not. We see that our journey in life rarely follows a straight line but is often met with false starts, crises, and blunders. How we push through and persevere in these challenging moments is where we begin to create the life of our dreams—from discovering our vocations to living out our bliss to giving back to others.
Personal and revealing, instructive and intuitive, Life Is What You Make It is about transcending your circumstances, taking up the reins of your destiny, and living your life to the fullest.

⑤教學生抓重點.教學難免有意外,課堂難免有突變,應對教學意外、課堂突變的本領,就是我們通常說的駕馭課堂、駕馭學生的能力。對教師來說,讓意外乾擾教學、影響教學是無能,把意外變成生成,促進教學、改進教學是藝術。生成相對於教學預設而言,分有意生成、無意生成兩種類型;問題生成、疑問生成、答案生成、靈感生成、思維生成、模式生成六種形式。生成的重點在問題生成、靈感生成。教學機智顯亮點.隨機應變的纔智與機敏,最能贏得學生欽佩和行贊嘆的亮點。教學機智的類型分為教師教的機智、學生學的機智,師生互動的機智,學生探究的機智。機智常常錶現在應對質疑的解答,麵對難題的措施,發現問題的敏銳,解決問題的靈活。
