18、n August 2005. Eight months later, I began to come out of the fog of sadness and depression to find a new purpose for my life.Like many of my generation, I had lived only for myself traveling, acquiring possessions, rising to a position of importance and seeking financial rewards. I was“ charitable

19、and volunteered for various causesdidn give of myself.In the spring after my mom s death, I found myself waking in the middle of the night with one thought. I felt forced to offer myself as a living kidney donor. My husband Robb had received the gift of life through a kidney transplant（移植）from a dea

20、d donor in 1999, so I was familiar with the enormous need for donors and knew several people who were waiting for a lifesaving transplant.

Extend yourselfCOur modern working lives are ruled by the concept of competence The idea that lies behind competence is quite simple ： that one can st

26、ate what people should do in behavioral terms， and then measure whether a person has succeeded in meeting that task or not We rarely have a second thought about whether the idea of measuring and achieving competence is a good one or not In fact， it is a controversial one Humans do not learn or work

27、in ways that can be measured by the concept of competence Take the example ofa barista（咖啡師）who is being trained to make coffee . The job title of “ barista “ suggests a degree of skill in making coffee However ， baristas in large coffee chains are usually trained through competence-basedqualificatio

28、ns One part of these qualifications is to produce a cup of coffee to meet a minimum standard It might have to achieve a certain taste and appearance This might seem perfectly reasonable ， but there are two reasons why such an approach to training baristas does not work First， the production of a cup

29、 of coffee to a certain standard is a binary（ 二次元的）outcome The baristas caneither produce a coffee of a certain standard or they cannot If they happen to produce the best cup of coffee in the world ， it does not matter， as competence-based training does not reward outstanding performance Likewise ，

30、producing the worst cup of coffee would be a fail in the same way as producing a cup just below the standard In fact， competence is not interested in the process of producing a coffee at all only the final binary outcome Second， if the barista does produce a coffee to a certain standard ， competence

31、 is not interested in why the barista can do that But humans are not machines that simply produce binary outcomes We have bodies and minds which change through learning Yet we are increasingly forced to achieve competence in our schools and workplaces We are not empty machines that simply produce bi

32、nary outcomes If we want to be true human in our learning and our workplaces ， we need to be creative and special Learning and innovation（ 創(chuàng)新 ）involve failure in aiming forsomething that is unusually good .

36、.DThey say the average person makes 35, 000 decisions a day. Yet in her new book,How Woman Decide, ThereseHuston explores a widespread phenomenon that many women fa il to notice. There s a huge double standard when itcomes to how men and women are viewed as decision makers, explains Therese, a psych

37、ologist from SeattleUniversity. Therese decided to write the book after looking at her bookshelf: At one end, there were bestselling books about how to be a brilliant decision maker-all written by men and featuring interviews with men like athletes. At the other end were books aimed at women on gain

38、ing leadership skills and confidence.“Once those women are at the table, will their decisions be taken as seriously as men s?“Men are respected as decision makers more than women, especially in the workplace, largely because therecultural belief that women are unable to make smart choices at work.”S

39、o, Therese began to pick apart the stereotypes 固有印象() to see what scientific research had found.“ Scresearch shows that men and women struggle with decision-making equally. The only disadvantage I found was that during the teenage years, teenage girls are more indecisive than teenage boys. Otherwise

40、, there s little diffebetween the genders. ”However, there are some differences.“ Women are more cooperative, ” says Therese, “ A femallikely to ask the opinions of those around her when making a choice. Women ask for input, which helps make better decisions. However, this is often seen as a weaknes

41、s rather than a strength.”Therese also found that during times of stress, men and women make different choices, and the outcomes are often better when women are involved.Study after study backs this view up. Neuroscientists Mara Mather and Nicole Lighthall from the University of Southern California

42、studied the way men and women make decisions and found that in times of stress, they react very differently.During their study, which involved playing a virtual gambling ( 賭博 ) game, they found that when the females became stressed, they made smart decisions-quitting while they were ahead or taking
