今天读了一篇研究影响成功的因素的论文，论文的结论中有一段是这么说的：
First, children who demonstrate exceptional commitment to a particular goal should be supported with as many resources as those identified as “gifted and talented.”
Second, as educators and parents, we should encourage children to work not only with intensity but also with stamina. In particular, we should prepare youth to anticipate failures and misfortunes and point out that excellence in any discipline requires years and years of time on task.
Finally, liberal arts universities that encourage undergraduates to sample broadly should recognize the ineluctable trade-off between breadth and depth. To paraphrase Benjamin Franklin, the goal of an education is not just to learn a little about a lot but also a lot about a little.
这段文字阐述了几个教育理念：
其一，如果孩子对某一事物表现出非同寻常的兴趣，父母应该竭尽所能地提供支持，以充分开发孩子这一天分。
其二，对于教育工作者和父母而言，我们不仅应该鼓励孩子做事要刻苦，更要告诉他们要有毅力，要学会坚持。特别是，我们要从小告诉他们，未来难免会面临许多困难和失败，要想在任何行业取得卓越的成绩都需要数十年的辛勤耕耘和不懈努力。
其三，学习的深度和广度是个“鱼和熊掌不可兼得”的存在。如果你选择在某一学科或某一行业深耕，那注定你在其他学科或行业会力不从心。换言之，如果你选择广撒网广涉猎，那你也就很难在某一特定领域取得卓越的成就。
共勉！
