內容簡介

From composer, musician, and philanthropist Peter Buffett comes a warm, wise, and inspirational book that asks, Which will you choose: the path of least resistance or the path of potentially greatest satisfaction?

You may think that with a last name like his, Buffett has enjoyed a life of endless privilege. But the son of billionaire investor Warren Buffett says that the only real inheritance handed down from his parents was a philosophy: Forge your own path in life. It is a creed that has allowed him to follow his own passions, establish his own identity, and reap his own successes.

In Life Is What You Make It, Buffett expounds on the strong set of values given to him by his trusting and broadminded mother, his industrious and talented father, and the many life teachers he has met along the way.

Today’s society, Buffett posits, has begun to replace a work ethic, relishing what you do, with a wealth ethic, honoring the payoff instead of the process. We confuse privilege with material accumulation, character with external validation. Yet, by focusing more on substance and less on reward, we can open doors of opportunity and strive toward a greater sense of fulfillment. In clear and concise terms, Buffett reveals a great truth: Life is random, neither fair nor unfair.

From there it becomes easy to recognize the equal dignity and value of every human life—our circumstances may vary but our essences do not. We see that our journey in life rarely follows a straight line but is often met with false starts, crises, and blunders. How we push through and persevere in these challenging moments is where we begin to create the life of our dreams—from discovering our vocations to living out our bliss to giving back to others.

Personal and revealing, instructive and intuitive, Life Is What You Make It is about transcending your circumstances, taking up the reins of your destiny, and living your life to the fullest.

非常好的一本書，京東配送也不錯!讀書是一種提升自我的藝術。“玉不琢不成器，人不學不知道。”讀書是一種學習的過程。一本書有一個故事，一個故事敘述一段人生，一段人生摺射一個世界。“讀萬捲書，行萬裏路”說的正是這個道理。讀詩使人高雅，讀史使人明智。讀每一本書都會有不同的收獲。“懸梁刺股”、“螢窗映雪”，自古以來，勤奮讀書，提升自我是每一個人的畢生追求。讀書是一種最優雅的素質，能塑造人的精神，升華人的思想。 　　讀書是一種充實人生的藝術。沒有書的人生就像空心的竹子一樣，空洞無物。書本是人生最大的財富。猶太人讓孩子們親吻塗有蜂蜜的書本，是為瞭讓他們記住：書本是甜的，要讓甜蜜充滿人生就要讀書。讀書是一本人生最難得的存摺，一點一滴地積纍，你會發現自己是世界上最富有的人。 　 讀書是一種感悟人生的藝術。讀杜甫的詩使人感悟人生的辛酸，讀李白的詩使人領悟官場的腐敗，讀魯迅的文章使人認清社會的黑暗，讀巴金的文章使人感到未來的希望。每一本書都是一個朋友，教會我們如何去看待人生。讀書是人生的一門最不缺少的功課，閱讀書籍，感悟人生，助我們走好人生的每一步。 　 書是燈，讀書照亮瞭前麵的路；書是橋，讀書接通瞭彼此的岸；書是帆，讀書推動瞭人生的船。讀書是一門人生的藝術，因為讀書，人生纔更精彩！ 讀書，是好事；讀大量的書，更值得稱贊。 讀書是一種享受生活的藝術。五柳先生“好讀書，不求甚解，每有會意，便欣然忘食”。當你枯燥煩悶，讀書能使你心情愉悅；當你迷茫惆悵時，讀書能平靜你的 心，讓你看清前路；當你心情愉快時，讀書能讓你發現身邊更多美好的事物，讓你更加享受生活。讀書是一種最美麗的享受。“書中自有黃金屋，書中自有顔如 玉。” 　 一位叫亞剋敦的英國人，他的書齋裏雜亂的堆滿瞭各科各類的圖書，而且每本書上都有著手跡。讀到這裏是不是有一種敬佩之意油然而升。因為“有瞭書，就象鳥兒有瞭翅膀”嗎！ 　 然而，我們很容易忽略的是：有好書並不一定能讀好書。正如這位亞剋敦，雖然他零零碎碎地記住瞭不少知識，可當人傢問他時，他總是七拉八扯說不清楚。這裏的原因隻有一個，那就是他不善長於讀書，而隻會“依葫蘆畫瓢”。 硃熹說過：“讀書之法，在循序漸進，熟讀而精思。” 　 所謂“循序漸進”，就是學習、工作等按照一定的步驟諑漸深入或提高。也就是說我們並不要求書有幾韆甚至幾萬，根本的目的在於對自己的書要層層深入，點點掌握，關鍵還在於把握自己的讀書速度。至於“熟讀”，顧名思義，就是要把自己看過的書在看，在看，看的滾瓜爛熟，，能活學活用。而“精思”則是“循序漸進”，“熟讀”的必然結果，也必然是讀書的要決。有瞭細緻、精練的思索纔能更高一層的理解書所要講的道理總體還是不錯的，物流也很給力，商品也是不錯的，給個好評
