本书收集了李开复、张亚勤、沈向洋、林斌、童欣、张黔等30位工作在微软亚洲研究院计算机领域的中国青年科学家的成长故事。他们每一个人都被称为天才,但他们都不认为自己是天才。他们曾经都很普通,在学习上甚至没得过第一。然而他们的父母、老师与他们自己共同选择了一条智慧之路。这是一本值得父母和孩子共同阅读的书,它的主旨不是教育孩子怎样去做像他们一样的人,而是教孩子成为优秀的“自己”。 This book collects the growth stories of 30 young Chinese scientists working in the computer field of Microsoft Research Asia, including Kai-Fu Lee, Ya-Qin Zhang, Shen Xiang-Yang, Lin Bin, Tong Xin and Zhang Qian. Each of them is called a genius, but neither of them consider themselves geniuses. They used to be very ordinary and did not even have to be number one in their studies. However, their parents, teachers and their own together choose a path of wisdom. It is a book worth reading by both parents and children. Its purpose is not to teach children how to be like them but to teach their children to be excellent “self.”
