The Think Big Manifesto: Think You Can't Change Your Life (and the World)? Think Again - Original PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: One evening, years ago, I was brainstorming with someother business consultants. We were all throwing out ideasabout how we wanted to brand ourselves. When I was puton the spot, I said the first thing that came to my mind,“I’m the guy to call when you’re tired of thinking small.”The entire room became silent, until one of the womensaid, “Yes, that is so you!” Still, I immediately second-guessed myself, worrying that the tagline sounded toocheesy, stupid, arrogant, or worse, wasn’t true.Yet the more I floated the phrase to others, the morepositive the response was. “You make us feel capable ofdoing bigger things,” people said. “That’s why we hang10 | The Think Big Manifestoaround you.” I had never fully realized the impact I washaving on other people. It created a cycle of accountabil-ity. If they were relying on me to inspire them to thinkbigger, then I needed to keep on thinking bigger. Untilthen, I had always tried to think big in my life—not thatit wasn’t a challenge, not that sometimes I didn’t thinksmall. But if other people were looking to me for theirmotivation to think big, it made it all the more importantthat I keep working hard at thinking big in my own life.Because my big thinking wasn’t just about me, nor shouldit be. Thinking big is about me, you, and so many otherpeople—reaching out, inspiring and being inspired, andworking together to meet the challenges of our times, tomake change, and to create new opportunities.An important point — so I ’ll repeat it right away — is thatI do not think big every day. I can’t. It’s unlikely anyonecould live by this manifesto every moment. But I try.This is not just our manifesto, the manifesto of everyonewho is and wants to think big, it’s my personal mani-festo, too. I want to live by this every day. And althoughit’s unlikely I can live up to quite that standard everyminute, publishing this manifesto and leading the ThinkBig Revolution are ways to hold myself to the standardof thinking big. Just as important, or even more so, to
Would I Lie to You - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: Do you ever feel like the luckiest girl alive? Well, you’re not, because I am. At this moment, I’m sunningmyself on über-social, totally gorgeous Main Beach in East Hampton, watching the preppy boys pull offtheir pastel Lacoste polos and smear Coppertone all over their sun-dappled shoulders. See, there’s areason any New Yorker who doesn’t want to leave the city completely summers in the Hamptons, andit’s the same reason people wear Christian Louboutin strappy sandals or fly first class: the best is justbetter.Speaking of the best, nobody does it better than Eres. I’m a modest girl, but even I think I look prettystunning in my mango-colored halter bikini top and matching boy shorts. Okay, maybe I’m not thatmodest, but why should I be? If you were looking this gorgeous lolling about on a white sand EastHampton beach, you’d be talking about it too. As I learned in my private, all-girls’ Upper East Sideelementary school, it’s not bragging if it’s true.
I Told You So - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: Told You So was completed at the end of July 2008. This book is acollection of columns from magazines, essays translated from early-century Bloggerean, and material written especially for this compila-tion. After I sent the document file of my book to my editor just bywarily pressing Send, I made a big flourish of checking off the last dayof my six-month writing schedule. I cleaned off my desk, filed twotrees’ worth of hard-copy rewrites, and turned my full attention towriting for my summer show in Provincetown.For more than twenty years I have performed in July and Augustin Provincetown. I write something new every day, especially if theweather is bad; I ride my bike down to the club and try the lines outat night. My audience knows that a lot of the material is being work-shopped for the show I will take on the road in the fall. They knowbecause generally I tell them.Some weeks a brilliant three pages of newly minted material be-comes an aside after only three shows. But other times a throwawayline gets a surprising response and over a few performances grows toa brand-new ten minutes. My audiences like being part of the process.They often talk to me after a show: “When you said that, I thoughtyou were going to go this way,” as if the show were on MapQuest, butthen they finish with the perfect punch line that had eluded me. SinceI have joke dyslexia, they kindly point out when I have reversed setupand punch line altogether. Or they tell me their stories. I take notes. Ipromise them royalties.My partner of twenty years has said to me after almost every showshe has seen, “Well, that was too long, but you need to do more po-litical stuff.” Over the years, and because of the world, I have becomemore political. Actually I am a full-blown junkie. My shows reflectthat. On the Provincetown entertainment menu of drag shows, pianobars, Broadway adaptations, theater, and comedy, I am the entréeknown as “that political one.”In the past, doing a lot of political material for people on theirprecious one- or two-week vacation in a resort town could be dicey.They have been at the beach all day reading trashy beach books orboogie boarding. They have not kept up. Some nights I felt that I wasanchoring a news show, not so much doing a comedy show. Instead oflaughter, I would hear, “I wish she had this on PowerPoint.”The summer of 2008 was like nothing I had ever witnessed. Itwas not just because critical mass had been reached in the possessionof personal handheld devices. Nor was it because the town mothersand fathers had finally gotten some decent radio transmitters andfewer people had to stand out in parking lots screaming into theircell phones, “I can’t hear you!” That summer Wi-Fi was the preferredguesthouse amenity. More than a private bath. No one wanted off thegrid. No one wanted to miss anything. Even on vacation.Would the Hillary supporters get over themselves and make thechange to Obama? Could Obama really beat McCain? The town sleptfitfully, waiting for a text message about Obama’s choice for vice presi-dent. Would he pick Hillary? In the line at the Grand Union, strang-ers would say, “Can’t wait to hear what you have to say about Palin.”Increasingly panicked mass e-mails from California warned of thepassage of Prop Hate, the anti-gay-marriage ballot initiative. Every-one bemoaned high gas prices. Bear Stearns Week trumped the funof Bear Week. International tourists crowded town during CarnivalWeek. Some shops accepted euros. In one ominous sign, the storecalled Don’t Panic was shuttered.When your situation room is a resort town in August, it is difficultto convey the seriousness of some developments to vacationers. It isalso perhaps cruel. In one late August show I joked about George W.,back stateside from the Chinese Olympics, which had been broughtto us by our own credit card debt. With not one little toenail left onhis moral footprint, and still president-erect from cruising the Olym-pic volleyball babes and hectoring China on its human rights abuses,our spectator in chief excoriated Russia for its preemptive strike onGeorgia. You could practically hear the world snorting, or maybe itwas me
Light (Stop Faking It! Finally Understanding Science So You Can Teach It series) (Robertson, William C. Stop Faking It!,) - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: Back when I was in college, there was a course titled Physics for Poets. At aschool where I taught physics, the same kind of course was referred to by thestudents as Football Physics. The theory behind having courses like these was thatpoets and/or football players, or basically anyone who wasn’t a science geek, neededsome kind of watered-down course because most of the people taking the coursewere—and this was generally true—SCARED TO DEATH OF SCIENCE.In many years of working in education, I have found that the vast majorityof elementary school teachers, parents who home school their kids, and parentswho just want to help their kids with science homework fall into this category.Lots of “education experts” tell teachers they can solve this problem by justasking the right questions and having the kids investigate science ideas on theirown. These experts say you don’t need to understand the science concepts. Inother words, they’re telling you to fake it! Well, faking it doesn’t work when itcomes to teaching anything, so why should it work with science? Like it or not,you have to understand a subject before you can help kids with it. Ever triedteaching someone a foreign language without knowing the language?The whole point of the Stop Faking It! series of books is to help you under-stand basic science concepts and to put to rest the myth that you can’t under-stand science because it’s too hard. If you haven’t tried other ways of learningscience concepts, such as looking through a college textbook, or subscribing toScientific American, or reading the incorrect and oversimplified science in anelementary school text, please feel free to do so and then pick up this book. Ifyou find those other methods more enjoyable, then you really are a science geekand you ought to give this book to one of us normal folks. Just a joke, okay?
i'll tell you one damn thing and that's all i know - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: As I read through my journals from the past couple ofyears, in preparation for publishing this book, I could notbelieve the contrast from one 24 hour period to the next.Some mornings I woke with more willpower and positiveenergy than anyone on the planet. Apparently as I slept, thatglee, that pure joyfulness, would sneak out the back door. Iwould wake not knowing what I was doing and being unsureof how I felt, or what the point was. How could that happenovernight? My mother would always tell us kids, growing up,that as quickly as things could turn to crap, that's how quick-ly they could turn themselves around and be good again—verymuch like the way I have written these journals. One daygreat, fantastic! The next...well you'll get the picture.The true journey of the human heart is indeed very diffi-cult. I hope that as you read through these pages you'll recog-nize bits and pieces of yourself within them. We are so alike,and yes, so very different. But I think at the core of all human-ity is the ability to love. No matter what language we speak orwhere we live in the world, the essence of ourselves is made oflove. Love is really all I ever write about. Even tales aboutcleaning "Sweet Maries" from the cat litter, or watching mydad build a squirrel-proof bird feeder, it's all about love. Iwrite about love because I think about love, at some level,every waking minute of the day. Love got me this far, I shallrely on it as I continue onward

You Need to Be a Little Crazy: The Truth about Starting and Growing Your Business - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: Advice about starting a business never sounded like this! Beginning with "you must be crazy," serial entrepreneur and angel investor Barry Moltz offers the true insider’s scoop on new business start-ups. With doses of irreverence and humor, the return-to-basics guide focuses on what comes before the bottom line. Addressing passion-the ultimate entrepreneurial fuel-relationships, failure, and authenticity, Moltz incorporates stories from his entrepreneurial colleagues and shows what it takes to integrate personal and professional life to achieve the highest satisfaction. Moltz describes the ups and downs and emotional trials of running a start-up business and invites readers to let go of the myths and expectations that can hamstring them emotionally while getting their businesses up and running. In a helpful, heartfelt, and often humorous way, Moltz reassures entrepreneurs that they are not alone-whatever their form of craziness-and that they can retain self-worth and sanity as they ride the start-up roller coaster. Showcasing the varieties of new venture craziness, entrepreneurs at all ages and stages in their business-building processes will realize they too can succeed. Jolts of passionate entrepreneurial wisdom energize these anecdotes, with such ideas as: • People-not capital-are the true currency. • Passion keeps everything going. • Relationships and authenticity are the drivers in this business climate. • There is no perfect idea and no magic bullet. • Don‘t expect your path to be a straight line. Incorporating lessons from the boom and bust 1990s, the realignment of business and personal values in the wake of terrorism, and proven ways to nurture the human dimension in business, these are voices to help all business owners find and trust their own entrepreneurial passions.
