利用出差的晚上一口氣把它看完，很久沒有這樣一鼓作氣的讀書了。
書中提到，孩子是看著父母的背影長大的，我完全相信這是真的，許多望子成龍望女成鳳的父母，其實成功真的沒有捷徑，也不要認為不斷的給孩子學習許多的"技能"，你的孩子就會與眾不同，讓孩子有個好的背影可以追隨，從根本去學習正確的態度，不管功課上的成就如何，相信都會是父母的小小驕傲。
這本書透過一篇篇的小故事描寫母親如何用心良苦的教導一對姐妹，描寫姐妹們如何在健康的心態下，自動自發的學習成長的過程，我相信許多小孩也可能做得到，能不能的關鍵或許就在父母親如何在子女成長的過程中，引導他們的觀念吧。
感觸很多，能寫的太少，推薦為人父母以及為人子女者都值得一看。

特別找了書中姊姊最愛的一首詩"假如"，來跟大家分享
If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you
But make allowance for their doubting too,
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise:
If you can dream--and not make dreams your master,
If you can think--and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools:
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it all on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breath a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on!"
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with kings--nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;
If all men count with you, but none too much,
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And--which is more--you'll be a Man, my son!
