It is our deepest pleasure to offer you Chicken Soup for the Volunteer"s Soul. Over the years,volunteers have been treated,for the most part,with a nice pat on the back with the notion that the majority 0f people just didn"t have the time nor the desire to get involved. But as our society moves through economic cycles and recovers from acts of terrorism,the concept of volunteering to offer comfort,aid and,most importantly,one"s time to "make a difference"has become validated as an accepted and natural part of daily life. If you have not yet discovered the rewards of volunteer- ing,our highest hope is that,as you read and absorb each atory.you will feel inspired to reevaluate how you choose to spend your time. Good stories,like the best mentors,guide but don"t dic- tate:They are unique experiences,insights tied to emotional triggers that grab our attention and replay in our memo- ries.They often free US from the chains of past decisions and motivate US to push harder to better the world.A really good story allows US to recognize the choices that are open to US and to see new alternatives we mic~ht not have considered betore.It can give US permission and instill courage to try a new path 0f action,and,ideally,it can provide US with the motivation to join thousands 0f other volunteers on the Same positive path. For this book,we carefully selected stories that hopefully will make you feel as if you were actually present.From that virtual reality,we trust you will be inspired,empowered and, In some cases,even humbled to make a difference in the world on a sustained basis.We hope you will be moved from spectator to participant.
Many 0f the people you will meet in these pages are models 0f unconditional kindness,compassion and love.They chose hope over despair,optimism over cynicism,and caring over withdrawal or indifference by volunteering to help peo- ple in need.
Whether we are veteran or new volunteers,the result is clear:A single individual can make a significant difference in the lives 0f others,and thereby have a positive impact in creating a more equitable,civil and peaceful world.
文章感情真挚,比现在公众号发的带节奏的毒鸡汤好多了,适合作为高中英语阅读素材。在国外,志愿服务总是和信仰与宗教有千丝万缕的关系,仿佛已经是他们的一种文化。国外的志愿服务的方式与选择也更多样。这本书是小学买的了,还是初版初印,封面与条目图片并不相同。十几年终于读完了,感谢它陪伴我初中的周末,高中的暑假,大学的夜晚和硬座车上不眠的通宵。
评分简单易懂,深刻感人。
评分高中读的。当时觉得真不错,还郑重推荐给了爸妈。每个人都应该有读鸡汤的阶段,读过鸡汤之后,不再寻求鸡汤,这应该是正常的过程吧。
评分^^
评分当城市志愿者时买的,读了之后确实对volunteer的工作和责任有了新的认识,也顺便练习英文了:)
