Introduction to "The Book of Virtues":
Virtue, which means goodness and noble morality, is one of the three core qualities of human excellence. It serves as a compass for life's journey and the spiritual foundation of outstanding individuals. "The Gift: The Book of Virtues" clearly and unambiguously introduces 20 core virtues: justice, self-esteem, self-confidence, self-discipline, labor, diligence, courage, perseverance, wisdom, hope, tolerance, compassion, friendship, love, new love, honesty, straightforwardness, responsibility, and trustworthiness. This book combines concise and insightful explanations with delightful and engaging stories, where the exposition and narratives complement each other. It avoids moralizing and avoids being, achieving a profound and subtle effect that touches the heart and penetrates the soul.
How can virtues be cultivated? The answer is simple. Virtue is built through action—better to take action than to talk about it; through starting small—without small streams, there can be no great rivers; through repeated practice and continuous refinement, forming habits—Rome wasn't built in a day. In short, cultivating virtue requires devout belief and faithful practice.
Children are gifts from heaven to parents—their greatest hope, and gifts from heaven to humanity—their entire future. This book is a gift for children. Virtues shape a child's life—happiness, methods create a child's destiny—success. Wishing all children healthy growth, blooming into beautiful flowers of destiny, and achieving noble life values.
Introduction to "The Book of Learning Methods":
The content of this book is scientific, grounded in pedagogy, psychology (especially cognitive psychology and learning psychology), neuroscience, and epistemology, and supported by experimental data, survey findings, and statistical analysis—all of which have been tested in practice. Any specific method in this book is not just casual advice like some "18 tricks for learning." Those so-called "18 tricks for learning" may seem emotional, but they lack scientific basis.
This book is universal. The methods presented are broadly applicable to learning any subject. For example, the question types in the college entrance examination (Gaokao) for various subjects are numerous, including problem-solving questions, calculation questions, short-answer questions, analysis and judgment questions, essay questions, argumentative questions, material analysis questions, multiple-choice questions, and fill-in-the-blank questions. From the perspective of problem-solving, they can all be categorized into problem-solving and proof questions, and the basic methods for solving them are the same and universally applicable. Moreover, the problem-solving methods in campus learning are the same and universally applicable as those for solving problems in real-world work and life.
This book is also systematic. Many people have their own learning methods, but they are often narrow, incomplete, fragmented, and disorganized. This book covers all levels and aspects of learning activities, includes fundamental knowledge about learning methods, and arranges the structure of the book according to the intrinsic logic of learning methods. It clearly highlights the systematic nature of learning methods to help you build your own systematic learning approach.
