stereotypical ultra-high-achieving elite college students of

关键还是没有撼动 Deresiewicz 的 between-the-line 的真正意思。
我觉得 Deresiewicz 的真正字里行间的意思是，不要拚娃自己的 12 年就为了
IVY 的入学标准，否则最大的危险就是 “little intellectual curiosity
and a stunted sense of purpose”。娃应该沿着娃自己 instinct 的
“intellectual curiosity and sense of purpose” 追求。。。
如果将来有幸被美藤录取，那么，得之，我幸。。。如果不幸没有被美藤
录取，那么，不得，我命，高高兴兴去州立报道就是。
第一篇反驳最弱了，为了反驳 “lost”，举例说烂校的学生也一样 “lost”。

我其实不是故意抬杠，我娃曾经也有段时间喜欢过化学，但她真读娃版化学书就不行了
。。。我觉得主要还是 curiosity。。。我认为娃的 curiosity 方面最基本的两个问
题是（1）What we are?（2）Where we are? 。。。所以我认为这就是娃为啥之前之后
对化学的兴趣都不大。
不过话说回来，每个娃都不太一样。。。很多时候也就是娃的自然发展过程，别硬掰是

作者： 北美留学生日报 发表日期: 2016-04-05 15:43:45
就在上周四，美国高中生Brittany Stinson凭借一纸神文书，被五所藤校（耶鲁，哥大

69%，比其他任何藤校录取率都低，可想而知小姑娘是如何凭借实力成为黑马的。
“ 其实我到现在都还不敢相信申请结果这么出彩。” Brittany 告诉记者。

发帖数: 206 | 11 关于一个小问题的一家之言。欢迎开砸。
去年底我曾经计划通过wechat开发为美国人（各种种族包括在美中国人）的服务。当时
的看法是wechat按照趋势发展会被中国人/亚洲人/黑白莫所接受。
这几个月来，特别是经过对wechat api和公众账号的检查，我的结论是wechat的设计思
想并没有考虑国际化。整个eco system是以中国的大环境为前提。除非你的服务对象在
中国，否则wechat大多数情况下不是一个general purpose商业接口。
今天有关wechat公共账号被关闭的消息算是彻底为腾讯在美国扩张敲响了丧钟。就像
google在中国水土不服一样，wechat在美国首先遇到的是文化和习惯上面的冲突。
为什么有这么多在美的中国人再用wechat?我的分析是wechat对中国有联系的人是一个
和国内联系的工具。和以前的同学联系，开始是挺有意思。除此之外，对wechat感兴趣
的是对中国文化有naive curiosity的外国人（包括abc）。尼克松当年第一次访问中国
时在机场的讲话提到，实质性的文化交流必须超越因为隔阂而产生的naive curiosity

2. Curiosity is good, "We keep moving forward, opening new doors, and doing
new things, because we're curious and curiosity keeps leading us down new
paths. " But you should be curious about how things were done, and why were
done a certain way, instead of if it was truly done. Just my 2 cents.

That's just because there is less pressure and worry about survival so we

more curiosity and energy, so you actually reacted to every moment in life
with more zeal and attention. I belive that when you achieve real
understanding of this world, you can still have that energy and curiosity, but
since you have no illusions, your poetry will be not just a random montage of
