今天在 #亲子 栏目中，我们来聊聊“传递善意”，Let's talk about “Passing On Kindness” in today’s program.
怕太长你不认真听：
cany和clever有什么区别？
天赋和选择有什么不同？
到底是什么塑造了我们的一生？
文末《传递善意的一天》视频
语料库积累：试着仿写一个善意的故事。
今年寒假我和孩子一起阅读了刘润和他孩子刘小米的《给孩子的商业启蒙》，孩子爱上了12岁的刘小米，因为他们有共同的爱好：我的世界Minecraft的资深玩家，梦想当电脑黑客（hacker）。
今天我们读到了关于善意kindness的故事，故事说主人翁婉儿和同学在肯德基写作业，妈妈在看书，突然来了两个推销的小伙子，婉儿觉得不应该买他们推销的洗洁净，但是妈妈（王芳）却买了，故事最后的一句话特别让我感动：“妈妈用自己的行动告诉我，有时候别那么‘精明’其实是对这个世界最大的善意。”
婉儿还用英文写了一遍，原文如下：“Mom told me with her deeds that sometimes being not so 'canny' is the greatest kindness to the world.”
“canny”修改了下，翻译为：This indicates that cleverness sometimes is not the greatest kindness to the world.

课程内容
2018年8月23日《哈佛商业评论》有一篇题为It’s More Important to Be Kind than Clever《善良比聪明重要》的文章，标题用到了clever这个词。（如果需要延伸阅读《哈佛商业评论》文章的同学请点击文末”阅读原文“。）
亚马逊创始人杰夫贝佐斯（Jeff Bezos）于2010年以What you will be为题在普林斯顿大学演讲：
My grandfather looked at me, and after a bit of silence, he gently and calmly said, "Jeff, one day you'll understand that it's harder to be kind than clever."
What I want to talk to you about today is the difference between gifts and choices. Cleverness is a gift, kindness is a choice. Gifts are easy——they’re given after all. Choices can be hard. You can seduce yourself with your gifts if you're not careful, and if you do, it'll probably be to the detriment of your choices.

我们看看能学到什么
美句欣赏：
the difference between gifts and choicesCleverness is a gift. Kindness is a choice.
天赋和选择的不同。聪明是一种天赋，而善意是一种选择。
Gifts are easy——they’re given after all. Choices can be hard.
天赋得来很容易——毕竟它们与生俱来。而选择则颇为不易。
You can seduce yourself with your gifts if you’re not careful, and if you do, it’ll probably be to the detriment of your choices.
如果一不小心，你可能被天赋所诱惑，这可能会损害到你做出的选择。
这个演讲的最后一part中一连串的提问触碰到了灵魂，让人久久不能释怀：
Tomorrow, in a very real sense, your life ——the life you author from scratch on your own—— begins.
明天，非常现实地说，你们从零塑造自己人生的时代即将开启！
How will you use your gifts? What choices will you make?
你们会如何运用自己的天赋？你们又会作出怎样的抉择？
Will inertia be your guide, or will you follow your passions?
你们是被惯性所引导，还是追随自己内心的热情？
Will you follow dogma, or will you be original?
你们会墨守陈规，还是勇于创新？
Will you choose a life of ease, or a life of service and adventure?
你们会选择安逸的生活，还是选择一个奉献与冒险的人生？
Will you wilt under criticism, or will you follow your convictions?
你们会屈从于批评，还是会坚守信念？
Will you bluff it out when you’re wrong, or will you apologize?
你们会掩饰错误，还是会坦诚道歉？
Will you guard your heart against rejection, or will you act when you fall in love?
你们会因害怕拒绝而掩饰内心，还是会在面对爱情时勇往直前？
Will you play it safe, or will you be a little bit swashbuckling?
你们想要波澜不惊，还是想要搏击风浪？
When it’s tough, will you give up, or will you be relentless?
你们会在严峻的现实之下选择放弃，还是会义无反顾地前行？
Will you be a cynic, or will you be a builder?
你们要做愤世嫉俗者，还是踏实的建设者？
Will you be clever at the expense of others, or will you be kind?
你们要不计一切代价地展示聪明，还是选择善良？
我们每个人都在以不同的方式书写（author）自己的故事。
I will hazard a prediction. When you are 80 years old, and in a quiet moment of reflection narrating for only yourself the most personal version of your life story, the telling that will be most compact and meaningful will be the series of choices you have made. In the end, we are our choices. Build yourself a great story.
我要做一个预测。在你们80岁时某个追忆往昔的时刻，只有你一个人静静对内心诉说着你的人生故事，其中最为充实、最有意义的那段讲述，会被你们作出的一系列决定所填满。最后，是选择塑造了我们的人生。为你自己塑造一个伟大的人生故事。

口语转化表达
回到我们开头故事的场景，假设你是一个初三的孩子，看到母亲为你做了榜样，你做出了你未来的选择，进行一个续写。也许你可以像这样来表达。
One day, I burst into tears when I visited a village school surrounded by ancient granite mountains, seeing many school children reading books aloud in a cramped and crumbling building. I decided to teach in this school for 2 years.
One day, I felt even happier when I invited one of the school boys to my house for lunch. We swapped our stories and shared toys. I still remembered the amazed look when he’s surprised to glance at my pencil.
I gave him my prized mechanical pencil as a gift, but after he went home, I found a thank-you note and the pencil in my pencil holder, which read, “Thank you for your kindness and I will come back here with my school report.”
One day after years, I received a letter from him, “I gained admission to Beijing University in computer science. ”
It’s such a rewarding experience for me to teach in this village school and I think this choice made who I am.
