前日在超市书摊信手拈了本书，一看还入眼，买下了。前言里有段话，这里原样照搬。
文采不够，怕翻走样了：
"Between stimulus and response is a space. In this space lies our freedom to choose our response. In these choices lie our growth and our happiness"......
Next to life itself, this self-awareness and our freedom to choose, to direct our lives, is our most precious gift and power. The hard moment is to be aware of and to choose to live our own life. It's seeing yourself as the programmer, not as a program being acted out. Regardless of the social and psychic scars you may carry inside, regardless of how others treat you, regardless of the disappointments and strains and setbacks which may blindside your finest intentions, you SEE the space between all of that and your freedom and power to respond to it.
.......
书是Stephen R. Covey 写的。ISBN 0-671-88717-3。
