贏在起跑點
贏在起跑點：年少出英雄
認識李雲迪嗎？2000年，這位當時年僅18歲、重慶出生的鋼琴家勇奪了已懸空16年之久的國際肖邦大獎；5年後更獲邀參與該賽事的評判。
馮寶寶這個名字在香港可謂家傳戶曉了。童星出生的她早年在演藝界取得成就，日後更進修成為香港的執業心理醫生，仁心仁術，再放異彩。
在國際舞台上，Louis Braille和Nadia Comaneci亦是年少出英雄的好例子。
Braille年幼時雖然因為生病導致失明，卻能在年紀輕輕的15歲就發明了盲文(凸字)。後來他不但成為一位教授，更是一名出色的大提琴和手風琴家，在全法國的教堂演奏。
Comaneci是世界上第一位在奧運比賽獲得完美10分的體操選手，當時只有14歲。後來她繼續在體壇大放光彩，獲得多面奧運獎牌。直至目前她一直在國際體操界擔任着領導的角色。
Have you heard of Louis Braille or Nadia Comaneci?
Blind due to an early childhood accident, Braille developed the system of reading and writing for the visually impaired known as braille by the tender age of 15. He further grew to earn a full professorship and become an accomplished musician in adulthood.
Comaneci holds the record as the youngest person (age 14) to achieve a perfect ten in the Olympics. She continued to excel and earn more Olympic medals. As an adult, she holds leadership roles within the gymnastics community.
「 贏在起跑點 」的含意 A race against time
其實在我們身邊，不少人都能年紀輕輕就取得了某一方面的成就，使日後的人生變得更自由了：可以繼續在同一領域更上層樓，也可以隨心所欲另行發展，使自已多才多藝，發出另類光芒。
比方說：如果及早能通曉一種外語，那對學業肯定有莫大幫助，而日後再修更多的外語也會比較輕鬆容易；這對學業的深造或是謀職都很有利。
這就是「 贏在起跑點 」的含意：
人生，是一場與時間的競賽。
把握0-6歲的黃金時期，即是很多人說的「機會之窗」，以高效的方法打好基礎，徹底引發出自身的潛能，為日後的人生舖設一條康莊大道。
Life is a race against time.
The age of 0-6 is the “window of opportunity” when your child learns and develops at an extraordinary rate. An effective teaching method will help maximise their potential.
As every parent knows, children grow too fast. Before you know it, the sweet-smelling newborn you carried home from the hospital is an active, social teenager.
Life is a race against time. And, if we want our children to win, we must use the fleeting minutes wisely. Setting kids up to succeed begins young. From the moment they enter the world, children prove eager to learn. They want to know what objects feel like, what foods taste like, and how the world responds when they interact with it. These early years are perfect for training children to win.
What is the key? How do we prepare our children in the race against time to succeed?
The simplicity of the answer might surprise you.
Read to them. Teach them to read.

Benefits of Reading
Studies show that reading to children at young ages prepares them for success in school which brings success later in life. In other words, reading is one efficient and effective method of preparing our children to succeed. Just a few minutes a day for a lifetime of impact.
Research also shows a child’s reading ability to be the best predictor of educational achievement and life success. A child’s reading level at seven-years-old determines (with other factors) whether he or she grows to get a high-income job.
This fundamental skill of reading…
- Develops language skills
- Exercises a child’s brain
- Boosts concentration
- Teaches about the world
- Promotes creativity and imagination
- Builds empathy
- Encourages their love of learning
Read in the first language is important. Read in a second language, especially one that a parent speaks, is an added bonus. In his/her race against time, your child needs a set of material that can help him to read independently in the shortest time possible.
