1.4 Master Zeng said: Each day I examine myself upon three points. In planning for others, have I been loyal In company with friends, have I been trustworthy And have I practiced what has been passed on to me

Born in 551 BC, Confucius is one of the most influential thinkers to have ever lived. The Analects are a collection of his thoughts and conversations on a range of topics from leadership (领导力) and education to wisdom and love.
While Confucius‘s philosophy （哲学，思想） is often characterized as quite traditional— emphasizing piety （虔诚）, loyalty, respect for one’s ancestors, and propriety in one’s relationships—a close reading of his thought is surprisingly applicable to many of our seemingly modern dilemmas:
How do I find a good mentor （导师）or coach
Why is it so hard to stick with my goals
What’s the best way to handle failure and setbacks

Marie Curie (1867-1934) was the first woman scientist to win worldwide fame, and indeed, one of the great scientists of this century. Winner of two Nobel Prizes (for physics in 1903 and for chemistry in 1911), she performed pioneering studies with radium and contributed profoundly to the understanding of radioactivity. The history of her story-book marriage to Pierre Curie, of their refusal to patent （取得专利） their processes or otherwise profit from the commercial exploitation（商业开发） of radium, and her tragically ironic（讽刺的） death are legendary（传奇的）and well known but are here revealed from an inside perspective. But, as this book revealed（展示）, it was also true. An astonishing mind and a remarkable life were here portrayed（刻画） by Marie Curie's daughter in a classic and moving account（叙述）.

King Lear, tragedy in five acts by William Shakespeare, estimated to have been written in 1605–06. It is based on the mythological Leir of Britain. King Lear divided his kingdom among the two daughters who flattered (奉承) him and banished (放逐) the third one who loved him. His eldest daughters both then rejected him at their homes, so Lear went mad and wandered (游荡) through a stormy night. His banished daughter returned with an army, but they lost the battle and Lear, all his daughters and more, died.
