It's Not All About You, Calma! - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: It was a wet-season day in the tropics. Swollen clouds swept infrom the south and squatted over my house. A massive clap ofthunder shook the floors and gave the signal for the cloudsto discharge their load. A gentle drumroll of rain on the roofbuilt to a thrumming crescendo. The temperature droppedinstantly by ten degrees. Through the window I could seewater flooding off the roof, a curtain enveloping the house.The roar of rain drowned out all other noises.No one deserved to be outside in that.
And Never Stop Dancing: Thirty More True Things You Need to Know Now - Original PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: In Dr. Gordon Livingston’s follow-up to his national bestseller Too Soon Old, Too Late Smart, he offers thirty more true things we need to know now. Among the fresh truths he identifies and explores in this book, which has sold more than 50,000 copies in hardcover, are: Paradox governs our lives. Forgiveness is a gift we give ourselves. Marriage ruins a lot of good relationships. We are defined by what we fear. We all live downstream. One of life’s most difficult tasks is to see ourselves as others see us. As we grow old, the beauty steals inward. Most people die with their music still inside of them. Dr. Livingston’s sterling qualities are in evidence again: a clear and deep understanding of the hidden hypocrisies, desires, evasions, and emotional tumult that course through our lives; an unerring sense of what is important; and his own ability to persevereto hopein a world he knows is capable of inflicting unjustifiable and lifelong suffering.
Just Who Will You Be?: Big Question. Little Book. Answer Within. (ROUGHCUT) - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: "Maria Shriver is wise, funny and caring--and it all comes through in her winning guide to life, JUST WHO WILL YOU BE? We're lucky to have her show us the way." -- Tom Brokaw "Maria teaches all of us in the graduate program of life to seek meaning through the joy of following your heart. Just the kind of advice a heart surgeon cherishes." --Mehmet Oz, M.D. "Everything Maria Shriver does is a testament to how deeply she respects and cares about people; all people, all over the world. She really does. She is as charming and funny as she is brilliant and profoundly humane." --Anne Lamott "Maria Shriver is real, vulnerable, humble, honest (just like her book) and not afraid to say so. A lovely book by a lovely person." --Danielle Steel "This honest, straight-talking, profound little book is worth a lifetime of reflection. It calls readers of all ages to think again-and differently-about who they've been in the past and who they want to be now. This book is a life-stopper, a truly universal piece. It's a must for everyone-of any age." --Sister Joan Chittister "Every graduate (of anything) ought to be given a copy of this book along with their diploma. There's wisdom, compassion and truth between these covers. For anyone -- at any age." --Linda Ellerbee, Executive Producer, "Nick News" "I've learned that asking ourselves not just what we want to be, but who we want to be is important at every stage of our lives, not just when we're starting out in the world. That's because in a way, we're starting out fresh in the world every single day." Just Who Will You Be? is a candid, heartfelt, and inspirational book for seekers of all ages. Inspired by a speech she gave, Maria Shriver's message is that what you do in your life isn't what matters. It's who you are. It's an important lesson that will appeal to anyone of any age looking for a life of meaning. In her own life, Shriver always walked straight down her own distinctive path, achieving her childhood goal of becoming "award-winning network newswoman Maria Shriver". But when her husband was elected California's Governor and she suddenly had to leave her job at NBC News, Maria was thrown for a loop. Right about then, her nephew asked her to speak at his high school graduation. She resisted, wondering how she could possibly give advice to kids, when she was feeling so lost herself. But in the end she relented and decided to dig down and dig deep, and the result is this little jewel. Just Who Will You Be? reminds us that the answer to many of life's question lie within -- and that we're all works in progress. That means it's never too late to become the person you want to be. Now the question for you is this: Just who will you be?
Breaking Through Culture Shock: What You Need to Succeed in International Business - Original PDF

When U.S. managers succeed in only 50% of their global work and UK managers only 14%, the answer lies not with the number of air-miles one clocks up on transatlantic flights or the technical excellence one brings to a job. Success with international teams entails managing culture shock. In this new edition of the critically acclaimed Breaking Through Culture Shock: What You Need to Succeed in International Business, Elisabeth Marx provides a practical guide to managing the emotional, cognitive, and social facets of participating in international cyber-teams and long-term assignments in another countries. Drawing on the experiences of over two hundred managers from around the world and in-depth interviews with global business leaders like Edward Dolman of Christie's, Peter Job of Reuters, and Win Bischoff of Schroders and Citigroup Europe, Marx explains the many layers and types of culture, providing steps to both businesses and individuals to cope and conquer culture-related stress. With instructive scenarios and quizzes to test your knowledge, Marx offers positive and practical business advice to those who want to succeed working in international business.
You Can Cope with Peripheral Neuropathy: 365 Tips for Living a Full Life - Original PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: When I was in school, back in the 1950s, from third grade throughtwelfth, everyone was required to take athletics, Monday throughFriday. How I loved getting out of sports. Mother wouldn’t give me a“Sports Excuse” very often, so I had to run in field hockey, lacrosse, basket-ball. In winter, we had the dreaded running races in the gym. But I did like towalk. My Mom and I went into New York City from Larchmont on weekendsand traipsed up and down Madison or Fifth Avenues at a breakneck pace. Ididn’t have neuropathy. Yet.Feet to Brain: Are You There?When we moved to Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida, in 1991, I enjoyed walking toLakeside, a community near mine; however, in 1996, people passed me byand soon were far ahead. My 30-minute walk took 40 minutes. Friendswanted me to go faster, but my feet didn’t like the idea. My legs were losingstrength, a common problem with neuropathy. My feet were tingling, burn-ing, and numb—especially at night. I felt stabbing, shooting pains. Ding.Ding. Ding. Bells and whistles should have sounded an alarm, but they did-n’t. In the 1990s, few people knew about peripheral neuropathy, myselfincluded. A huge number still haven’t a clue about it, even though 20 millionpeople in the United States have peripheral neuropathy. And the numbersare growing.In 1996, I went to an internist because the symptoms made me crabby. Shesaid, “You may have peripheral neuropathy. See a neurologist.” Her quick diag-nosis was unusual. Not so long ago, some patients weren’t diagnosed for along time. Thirty-four years is the longest I’ve heard of.

How to Study: Discover How Your Personal Learning Style Can Help You Succeed - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: GETTING COMFORTABLE WITH STUDYINGThis book asks a lot of questions to help you learn how to studyeffectively. But there are no “right” or “wrong” answers here. Every questionis designed to help you discover how you learn, and to help you do more ofwhat works for you—whether you’re reading a text, listening to a lecture,writing a paper, or preparing for a test.For example, in order to understand what you’re reading right now,you are doing something that works for you. Maybe you’re reading thisout loud. Or “hearing” your voice in your head as you read this silently.Perhaps you are making pictures on paper. Maybe you’re reading this asyou’re walking. You might be reading all this in an orderly way, making akind of outline in your head as you go along.Each of these ways is a different learning style. And the early chap-ters in this book focus on helping you find your own learning style. Laterchapters help you work with your learning style so you can use it moreoften. The icons shown to the left stand for the five learning styles you’llfind out about in this book. Once you’ve identified your learning style inChapter 2, “Discovering How You Learn,” you can look in the later chap-ters for the icon that stands for your style to find study tips that will helpyou take advantage of your strength.You’re more comfortable when you’re using your own style becauseyou’re understanding more. And when you’re comfortable, you’re morereceptive—you find it easier to get involved with what you’re studying, asyou’ll see in Chapter 9, “Getting Involved in Learning.” When you’reinvolved with what you’re studying, it doesn’t feel like work; it becomessomething you enjoy.Getting satisfaction from what you’re studying requires carefulplanning. Dividing big jobs into little ones makes overwhelming tasksmore bearable. There’s a chapter in this book on that, too. Sometimespeople can’t pay close attention to their studying because something elseneeds to be done. Spending a few minutes on that other job before studyingwill ease the conscience—thus making studying more productive.Also, some people work best if they work on several things at once.Maybe you’ve heard, “Can’t you just do one thing at a time?” Well, for youperhaps the answer is, “No, I can’t. I work best if I go back and forthbetween two or three projects. If I try to stick to one job at a time, I getdistracted and don’t work well.” Many people work best this way

Now, all it took was the baby tofill all these warm and soft baby clothes. Our baby, our prince orprincess, who, with our help and the help of Love, would one daybreak boundaries and make the world a better place to live in.What image does the word longing give?

And here we were, in our late twenties and thirties, stillwaiting for answers to come trotting in on a beautiful, whitestallion.The Fairy Tale That Started It AllSo, where in the heck did this fascination with the ultimateromance come from anyway? When did we start believing inthe idea of a perfect man who would swoop into our lives andeliminate the negatives? Well, for me it was at the age of fourwhen my great-aunt Vyvian introduced me to a saucy chick bythe name of Cinderella.

The residents of Manhattan’s Golden Mile, of course—that glorious stretch of doormanbuildings above Fifty-ninth Street and below Eighty-sixth. It’s Christmastime, time to deck our sprawlingUpper East Side penthouses with silver and gold baubles, twinkly lights, velvet bows, and chocolatesimported from belle Paris.

It’s so, so good to be back.While I’m not about to tell you where I’ve been for the past few months, I will tell you that thereis lifeafter high school. Yes, it finally happened: We went to college. During the past semester we encounteredpeople who haven’t seen us naked (yet), and who don’t know our SAT scores; who don’t rememberthat time we wet our pants in kindergarten, or when we got our ears pierced. We’ve learned a few newthings, made a few new friends, and have even maybe met the loves our lives. We’vechanged—hopefully for the better. And we’re just as fabulous as always.TakeB , for instance.
