lighting the menorah (多连灯烛台),frying potato pancakes and spinning the dreidel (四面陀螺). one night in the 1990s, we tidied up wrapping paper and toys while the lighted menorah stood on the kitchen table.

donny. is something burning? asked molly, our oldest, age ten.it was ladybug! the fur on her left side had been burnt. she wasnt hurt, but she wore an upset expression all evening, and for the rest of the week she hid whenever we began chanting the hebrew(希伯来语)blessings over the candles. though her fur grew out as thick as ever, ladybug took a dim view of hanukkah after that, clearly preferring less flammable holidays, like labor day.the following year, for fifth-grade homework about family traditions, molly wrote about ladybugs story with the hanukkah candles. the teacher, lynn fink, a

her potato pancakes. gamely, she spun the dreidel. delightedly, she opened the small gift of home-made cookies the children had prepared for her. as the evening seemed to be winding down, she clapped

horrible, and you lose things and cannot focus on our schoolwork.for more than 20 years, scientists have suggested that high self-esteem(自尊) is the key to success.now, new research shows that focusing just on building self-esteem may not be helpful. in some cases, having high self-esteem can make people less likeable or more upset when they fail in something.“forget about self-esteem,” says jennifer crocker, a psychologist at the university of michigan, us. “its not the important thing.”feeling goodcrockers advice may sound a bit strange. after all, feeling good can be good for you.studies show that people with high self-esteem are less likely to be depressed, anxious, shy, or lonely than those with low self-esteem.however, after reviewing about 18,000 studies on self-esteem, roy baumeister, a psychologist at florida state university, has found that building up your self-esteem will not necessarily make you a better person.he believes that violent people often have the highest self-esteem of all. he also said:“ theres no evidence that kids with high self-esteem do better in school.”problemsall types of people have problems. people with high self-esteem can have big egos(自我) that can make them less likeable, said kathleen vohs,
