Excellence does not emerge without appropriate help.

玉不琢不成器。

To reach an exceptionally high standard in any area very able children need the means to learn, which includes material to work with and focused challenging tuition - and the encouragement to follow their dream.

事半功倍的資料和醍醐灌頂的教學是行之有效的學習之道，沒有它們及鞭麟笞鳳的鼓勵，天資卓越的孩子也難有豐功偉績。

There appears to be a qualitative difference in the way the intellectually highly able think, compared with more average-ability or older pupils, for whom external regulation by the teacher often compensates for lack of internal regulation.

與反應遲緩資質平庸的孩子比，貌似能力非凡的孩子其思考能力很強大，上其實是因為前者，自律性自覺性差，太過依賴老師的耳提面命。

To be at their most effective in their self-regulation, all children can be helped to identify their own ways of learning - metacognition - which will include strategies of planning, monitoring, evaluation, and choice of what to learn.

蘊含規(guī)慮揣度，恪守不逾，日省月修，獨立思考的學習之道可以讓所有孩子高效自律。

Emotional awareness is also part of metacognition, so children should be helped to be aware of their feelings around the area to be learned, feelings of curiosity or confidence, for example.

情感意識亦是其不可缺少的組成部分，例如，好奇自信都有助于對所學知識了然于胸。
