Book ID/图书代码: 03274012B58476
English Summary/英文概要: TURTLE ON A FENCE POST is "the ideal gift of wisdom and inspiration for the high school graduate."
The ultimate ’life after high school’ reference book -- a guide to help our children and their friends navigate the complicated ’real world’ they will face after graduation.
Why 365 lessons? Because it is important to learn something new every day. Each lesson is short -- it can be read quickly over breakfast or during a study break.
A theme for each day of the week. Monday’s message is motivational; Tuesday’s and Wednesday’s are hints for advancing a career. Thursday’s and Friday’s are general life lessons. Saturday’s focus is on social aspects, while Sunday’s spiritual guidance comes from many religions, philosophers and teachers.
High school and university textbooks provide the book smarts; TURTLE ON A FENCE POST will help with the ’life smarts.’
Chinese Summary/中文概要: 《篱笆边的乌龟》是“送给高中毕业生智慧和灵感的理想礼物”。这本最后关于高中毕业后的生活的参考书——是一本指南,它能够帮助解决我们的孩子和他们的朋友毕业以后,在面对这个复杂的“现实世界”的时候所出现的问题。为什么有365个课呢?因为每天都学到新的东西非常重要。每个课程都很短——可以在吃早饭时或学习休息的课间快速阅读。每周的每天都有一个主题。周一的主题是激励;周二和周三的主题是推进事业。周四和周五是一般的生活经验。周六的重点是社会方面,而周日是源于许多宗教,哲学家和教师的精神指导。高中和大学的教科书为这本书提供了智慧:《篱笆边的乌龟》将提供关于“生活的智慧”的知识。(LNL)
