Download or read book Pearls of Wisdom written by Barbara Bush and published by Hachette UK. This book was released on 2020-03-03 with total page 159 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER! In this "sage, valuable volume" (Publishers Weekly), First Lady Barbara Bush shares the best of her adviceto family, staff, and close friends. First Lady Barbara Bush was famous for handing out advice. From friends and family to heads of state and Supreme Court justices, and certainly to her staff, her advice ranged from what to wear, what to say or not say, and how to live your life. She especially loved visiting with students of all ages, from kindergartners to college graduates. When she turned 80, she owned up to all her advice-giving and explained it this way: After all, in 80 years of living, I have survived 6 children, 17 grandchildren, 6 wars, a book by Kitty Kelly, two presidents, two governors, big Election Day wins and big Election Day losses, and 61 years of marriage to a husband who keeps jumping out of perfectly good airplanes. So, it's just possible that along the way I've learned a thing or two. At the end of the day, she taught all of us some valuable lessons. As First Lady, she made a point of cuddling a baby with AIDS and hugging a young man who was HIV positive and whose family had rejected him, showing us by example the importance of compassion and the myth of fear. As a mother, she made sure we all knew that your children must come first, and one of the most important things you can do is to read to them. As a friend and mentor, she showed that you had to be true to yourself, and even at the end of her life, she taught us how to die with grace. Full of Barbara Bush's trademark wit and thoughtfulness, Pearls of Wisdom is a poignant reflection on life, love, family, and the world by one of America's most iconic -- and beloved -- public figures.

Download or read book Pearls of Wisdom from Everyday Life written by Awdhesh Singh and published by . This book was released on 2023-03-13 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We acquire heaps of knowledge in our schools and colleges. We also keep learning new pieces of information from books, the internet and numerous social media platforms. However, all such knowledge remains a theory, or just second-hand knowledge unless we know how to use them in our life to achieve our goals. Just like it is impossible to know the taste of mango unless you have eaten one, there is no way to acquire wisdom unless you know how to learn the right lessons from life experiences. The most important requirement to be wise is to develop the ability to take the right decisions in life and make the right judgment. Wisdom is essential to lead a happy and successful life. Only a wise person can connect knowledge with real-life experience and develop the ability to make the right decisions in life about people, actions, good and evil, and society to live a blissful life. This book, Pearls of Wisdom from Everyday Life, narrates personal experiences and stories to help readers become wiser by learning valuable lessons from their day-to-day experiences.

Download or read book Attunement written by Clifford Chalmers Cain and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2019-12-20 with total page 93 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We live in a century in which we must either change our way of regarding and acting toward nature or else imperil our survival as a species and jeopardize as well the fate of the planet itself. This book by a theologian and environmental scientist examines four religious figures from European and Asian contexts who could aid us in developing a more sustainable and caring orientation, which would allow us to live more "in tune" with creation: twelfth-century German nun Hildegard of Bingen, thirteenth-century Italian monk and patron saint of ecology Francis of Assisi, nineteenth-century Japanese Zen monk and poet Taigu Ryōkan, and the first pontiff from Latin America, twenty-first-century Pope Francis. By emphasizing our intimate and unavoidable organic connection with the network of all life and our charge to care for and protect it, they point us in the direction of a new paradigm, a healthier perspective, a metanoia--a change of heart, mind, attitude, and action--that would partner what we know about nature (an environmental consciousness) with what we do (an ecological conscience). Our children, our grandchildren, and our great-grandchildren deserve at least this much.
