具体描述
“ Success is the point where your most authentic talents, passion, values, and experiences intersect with the chance to contribute to some greater good.”
--Bill Strickland
According to MacArthur Fellowship “genius” award winner Bill Strickland, a successful life is not something you simply pursue, it is something that you create, moment by moment. It is a realization Strickland first came to when, as a poor kid growing up in a rough neighborhood of Pittsburgh, he encountered a high school ceramics teacher who took him under his wing and went on to transform his life.
Over the past thirty years, Bill Strickland has been transforming the lives of thousands of people through the creation of Manchester Bidwell, a jobs training center and community arts program. Working with corporations, community leaders, and schools, he and his staff strive to give disadvantaged kids and adults the opportunities and tools they need to envision and built a better, brighter future.
Strickland believes that every one of us has the potential for remarkable achievement. Every one of us can accomplish the impossible in our lives if given the right inspiration and motivation to do so. We all make ourselves “poor” in one way or another when we accept that we are not smart enough, experienced enough, or talented enough to accomplish something. Bill Strickland works with the least advantaged among us, and if he can help them achieve the impossible in their lives, think what each of us can do.
Among Bill Strickland’s beliefs:
People are born into this world as assets, not liabilities. It’s all in the way we treat people (and ourselves) that determines a person’s outcome
The sand in the hourglass flows only one way. Stop going through the motions of living--savor each and every day. Life is here and now, not something waiting for you in the future.
You don’t have to travel far to change the life you’re living. Bill grew up in the Pittsburgh ghetto, four blocks from where he came to build one of the foremost job training centers in the world. He now speaks before CEOs and political leaders, church congregations and civic leaders. You only need to change your thinking to remake your world.
Through lessons from his own life experiences, and those of countless others who have overcome their circumstances and turned their lives around, Make the Impossible Possible shows how all of us can build on our passions and strengths, dream bigger and set the bar higher, achieve meaningful success and help mentor and inspire the lives of others.

这本书的封面设计简直是一场视觉盛宴，色彩的运用大胆而富有张力，那种从深邃的黑暗中迸发出耀眼光芒的视觉冲击力，让人在书店里一眼就被它牢牢抓住。我毫不犹豫地把它拿了起来，光是触摸封面那种略带纹理的质感，就已经让人对手中的内容充满了期待。装帧的工艺也无可挑剔，书脊挺括有力，即便是频繁翻阅，也丝毫没有松垮的迹象，这足以见得出版方对这本书的重视程度。我甚至有些舍不得在上面留下任何折痕，生怕破坏了它最初的完美形态。它不仅仅是一本书，更像是一件精心制作的艺术品，摆在书架上，它本身就构成了一种宣言，一种关于追求卓越和突破界限的无声呐喊。这本书的体量适中，拿在手里分量感十足，但又不会因为过重而让人望而生畏，这种恰到好处的平衡感，让人在准备阅读之前，就对其内容的厚重与精深有了一种直观的感受。我甚至花了好一段时间，仅仅是欣赏了它的前言和目录页面的排版，那种极简主义中蕴含的深层设计哲学，已经预示着这本书绝非等闲之辈。
评分这本书给我带来的最深层次的触动，来自于它对传统思维定势的强烈冲击和挑战。它不是简单地罗列已知的事实，而是不断地向读者发出质疑的邀请函——“你所深信不疑的，真的就是唯一的真相吗？”每一次的阅读体验都像是一场思想上的“排毒”，将那些潜意识里固化的、不合时宜的认知框架一点点剥离。它教会我的，不是具体的“做什么”，而是更重要的“如何去想”。那种鼓励独立思考、勇于推翻现有结论的内在精神，比书中的任何具体知识点都更加宝贵和持久。读完之后，我发现自己看待日常事务的角度都发生了微妙的变化，原本看似密不透风的问题，突然之间似乎找到了可以施力的切入点。这本书真正做到的，是提供了一套全新的认知工具，一套可以让我自己去开辟新道路的罗盘，而非仅仅是一份地图。它激励人去践行一种积极的、永不满足于现状的探索精神。
评分作者的语言风格有一种令人信服的沉稳力量，他不像一些学者那样故作高深，用晦涩的术语包裹住简单的想法；相反，他拥有将复杂概念“去魅”的魔力。他的表达方式是那种直击人心的力量型文风，仿佛一位经验丰富的舵手，在风浪中清晰地发出指令，没有丝毫的犹豫或模糊。尽管涉及的主题可能相当宏大和具有挑战性，但通过其精准的措辞和生动的比喻，即便是初涉该领域的读者，也能感受到一种豁然开朗的清晰感。更难能可贵的是，在保持严谨性的同时，作者并未完全摒弃个人色彩，偶尔穿插的几句富有洞察力的个人见解，如同在坚硬的岩壁上凿出的小小窗口，让人得以窥见其思想深处的温度与人性光辉。这种在绝对的专业性和可读性之间找到的黄金平衡点，是许多专业书籍难以企及的高度。
评分这本书的结构布局简直是教科书级别的典范，逻辑架构的严谨程度令人叹为观止。它并非简单地将主题分解成几个章节，而是像搭建一座复杂的建筑群，每一个论证的层次都如同承重柱一般，精确地支撑着上层的理论模型。作者在章节的过渡处理上显得尤为高明，他总能在前一个主题的余温尚未散尽时，就已经巧妙地植入了下一个议题的引子，使得阅读的连贯性从未被割裂。我特别欣赏它在引用外部佐证时的处理方式，那些旁征博引的案例和研究成果，不是简单地堆砌，而是被无缝地编织进了作者的核心论点之中，成为了支撑其观点的坚实地基。翻阅这本书时，我有一种强烈的“全景感”，仿佛作者提供了一个俯瞰全局的制高点，让我们得以清晰地辨识出各个要素之间的相互作用力和制约关系。这种结构上的精妙，使得即便是跨度极大的知识领域，也能在本书的框架下找到一个和谐共存的安放之地，展现了作者对整体把握的非凡能力。
评分这本书的文字密度堪称惊人，每一页都仿佛被精心提炼过，没有一丝一毫的冗余和赘述。作者的叙事节奏掌握得极为老练，时而如同疾风骤雨，信息量如洪水般倾泻而下，需要我全神贯注地去捕捉每一个关键的论点和数据支撑；而时而又像一位耐心的导师，放慢语速，用极富哲理性的散文笔法，引导读者深入思考那些晦涩难懂的概念。我发现自己不得不频繁地使用荧光笔和便利贴，因为书中的观点实在太密集了，每一个段落都像是自成一体的知识模块，相互关联又各自独立成章。阅读的过程中，我时常需要停下来，合上书本，走到窗边，对着远方发呆，消化刚刚吸收的那些信息量，那种感觉就像是给大脑做了一次高强度的马拉松训练。它要求读者全程保持一种极高的认知投入度，绝不容许有丝毫的走神，因为它深知，一旦错过一个关键的转折点，后面的逻辑链条可能就会断裂。这种高密度的信息传递方式，虽然对阅读者的心智负荷较大，但带来的知识积累的成效也是空前显著的。
