Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Everyone has one life. Life is precious to everyone as it is. Come to think of it, life isn\'t that long. Then shouldn\'t everyone have a meaning in his life? When I look at the present era, I feel sorry for many people because they seem to just live their lives for no particular purpose. Everyone is living with the same amount of relative time. However, some people are living their lives faithfully, recognizing the purpose of their lives and cherishing the time they were given. A person who is faithful to life based on his purpose makes his life more valuable. Therefore, they differ in their attitude towards life. To make life more valuable, you must make your life richer by managing yourself more thoroughly and developing it in a better way. Everyone has a different definition of success, but this kind of a person can live a successful life. Everyone has a different way of living his life. But there is always a cause for all the consequences. When we think that success is getting what you want, a successful person has every reason to have success in the way he spends his life. These people are thorough in self-development and know how to control themselves. And they try to live their life in a way that is more helpful to society, not just for their own benefit. Wouldn\'t it be better for our society if everyone lived in this world with that attitude? It is by no accident that we were born into this world at this time. It is said that the probability that we will be born as a human is very low. Being born as a human being is a blessing to everyone. Everyone has a reason for being born in the world. If they fully realize that, they can wholly enjoy such blessings. So, how can you live your life, so that you don\'t regret it when you die? We all need to think about this question deeply. If you\'ve never thought of this before, then reflect back on your life, and think. We all have to ask ourselves why we live our lives, what we live for, and how we live our lives. Answering these questions can make our lives more meaningful. Some people are happy with their lives right now and may want to live like they currently do without any specific changes. However, it is this writer\'s opinion that it is our duty to live a life which encompasses growth and improvement. Everything in the world is bound to change over time in a progressive direction to suit the circumstances of the time. It can be exhilarating to adapt well to changes in your life and to grow in a positive direction. Everyone deserves to pursue such a life, which is a way to make life meaningful. There are many difficulties and sufferings in life. I also had a difficult time at an early age due to my failure of a high school entrance exam, but I was able to overcome it and become a professor. In such a process of suffering and hardship, human beings tend to grow. And there are many opportunities in life. The person who can seize such an opportunity must be as ready as he can be. There is no such thing as a free lunch. It is natural to pay that much to seize such an opportunity. To get the opportunity that you want, you also need a determination and a challenge, which can lead to many setbacks. But these are only part of the process of turning you into a more mature human being. Therefore, you can feel great hope and satisfaction in life by not being afraid of anything, and by trying out new things. Can you really enjoy your life if you just live the same life every day without any changes? Human beings are able to taste the real taste of life in a challenging and a growing life. Therefore, I hope you will live a life that grows as you try and fail a lot.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Time management is a subject that concerns everybody: Male and female; rich and poor; young and old; leaders and followers; educated and uneducated; etc. It is a challenge that has to be faced squarely by everyone who is interested in accomplishing his/her tasks within the limited time available, and this time is equally endowed. This book is specifically focused on scholars, as role models for effective time management. These scholars could be at the primary school level, secondary school level, tertiary educational institutions (universities, polytechnics, colleges of education, etc.), research institutes/ centers, etc. It is a challenge for them to lead other time users on effective management and utilisation of time and also to go deep into research on various aspects of time management, so as to establish acceptable principles, models and theories on the subject matter. Although the book has the scholar in mind, other users of time in the various sectors of any economy would find this book very interesting and very useful. Good time management is the key factor to achieve so much more within the 24-hour-period endowed equally to mankind.

The required attentions are: (i) in respect of its effective management to achieve desire results; and (ii) in respect of promoting it an a subject of study at various levels. This book is an attempt to address these two issues.

Download or read book Doing Public Scholarship written by Christopher J. Schneider and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-12-05 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A basic premise of public scholarship is making academic work and related ideas accessible and available to publics. Media engagement, whether interviews with news journalists, or the use of hashtags, is a necessary feature of any public scholarship. Media formats play a fundamental and interactive role in how people ultimately come to view and understand the social world, having had a discernable influence on election outcomes, responses to global pandemics, and so on. The question is not whether scholars should engage with media but how to do so. Drawing on fifteen years of experience that includes hundreds of print, radio, and television news interviews, dozens of published opinion pieces, and the use of social media for public engagement, this book outlines a practical, easy-to-follow approach to doing public sociology in media that consists of, and brings together, interrelated forms of media engagement. This book also offers some advice pertaining to career advancement and provides strategies to avoid negative experiences. Doing Public Scholarship will be of general interest to those wanting to go public with their research.

Download or read book Course Based Undergraduate Research written by Nancy H. Hensel and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-07-03 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Co-published with the Council on Undergraduate Research Undergraduate research has long been recognized as a high-impact practice (HIP), but has unfortunately been offered only to juniors and seniors, and to very few of them (often in summer programs). This book shows how to engage students in authentic research experiences, built into the design of courses in the first two years, thus making the experience available to a much greater number of students.Research that is embedded in a course, especially general education courses, addresses the issue of how to expand undergraduate research to all students. Research has shown that students who have early experiences in undergraduate research are more likely to pursue further research prior to and after graduation. This is also an issue of social justice because it makes the benefits of undergraduate research available to students who must work during the academic year and in the summer. It is widely accepted that the skills developed through undergraduate research help prepare students for their future careers.The book addresses all aspects of the topic, including:- What are appropriate expectations for research in the first two years- How to design appropriate course-based research for first- and second-year students- How to mentor a class rather than individual students- How students can disseminate the results of their research- Possible citizen-science projects appropriate for the first and second years- Providing additional resources available to support course-based research in the first two yearsDesigned for faculty at four-year and two-year colleges – and including examples from the sciences, the social sciences, and the humanities – the strategies and methods described can be adapted to disciplines not specifically mentioned in the book.Many faculty are hesitant to engage first and second year students in undergraduate research because they worry students don’t know enough to conduct authentic research in their discipline, because they worry about the time it will take to develop activities for these students, and because they wonder how they can mentor a whole class of students doing research. The authors have successfully dealt with these issues, and provide examples of how it’s done.

Download or read book Too Much to Know written by Ann M. Blair and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2010-11-02 with total page 581 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The flood of information brought to us by advancing technology is often accompanied by a distressing sense of "information overload," yet this experience is not unique to modern times. In fact, says Ann M. Blair in this intriguing book, the invention of the printing press and the ensuing abundance of books provoked sixteenth- and seventeenth-century European scholars to register complaints very similar to our own. Blair examines methods of information management in ancient and medieval Europe as well as the Islamic world and China, then focuses particular attention on the organization, composition, and reception of Latin reference books in print in early modern Europe. She explores in detail the sophisticated and sometimes idiosyncratic techniques that scholars and readers developed in an era of new technology and exploding information.

Download or read book The Scholarship of Creative Writing Practice written by Marshall Moore and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2024-01-25 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first study to explore deeply and intimately the complex and multifaceted nature of creative writing practice, The Scholarship of Creative Writing and Practice offers a new route in scholarly inquiry for creative writing studies, probing beyond pedagogical methods (with which most of the field's scholarship is occupied) to explore the writing life as it is experienced by a wealth of international writer/academics. With academic creative writing programs beginning to adopt a more pragmatic, industry-focused stance, students of writing increasingly need and expect to complete their degrees moderately prepared to monetize the skills they have learned – so there is now more than ever a great responsibility to present studies, methodologies and experience that can inform students and instructors. In response, Sam Meekings and Marshall Moore have pulled together academic investigations from some of the most prominent names in creative writing studies to take stock of the diverse definitions and pluralities of creative practice, to examine how they have carved out a 'writing life', what work habits they have adopted to achieve this, how these practitioners work as creatives both within and outside of the academy and to put forward strategies for a viable writing life. Offering intelligent, philosophical, pragmatic and actionable methods for robust writing practice, this book provides a multi-national perspective on the various aspects of practice and process. Essays explore what writing practice means for individuals and how this can be modeled for students; how the mythic nature of creativity can be channeled though practical working habits; practice through the lenses of social responsibility, sensitivity, empathy and imagination; writing during times of duress and the barriers writers encounter in their craft; the demand of author platforms; the role of the creative writing academic/writer; and the process of learning from published and practicing authors. Wide-ranging in its investigations and generous in insight, The Scholarship of Creative Writing and Practice presents creative, imaginative and transdisciplinary approaches to this under-researched area.
