Download or read book Beautiful Life Beyond Exams written by N. Raghuraman and published by Prabhat Prakashan. This book was released on 2020-01-01 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Some teachers go beyond their job descriptions. I remember when I first entered my school called Saraswathi Vidyalaya at Nagpur the first teacher was Mrs. Saraswathi Kuppuswami, who met my father for few seconds and took charge of me, maybe my life, held my hand and took me into her class. I looked back with teary eyes and as my father turned his back, may be he was uneasy in seeing me crying, I looked at my teacher's eyes. Her eyes had that assurance I needed her eyes had the love and the care I needed most. Since then I've never looked back. On that day, unknowingly, I learnt my first lesson-stand like a rock with love and care when somebody needs you the most. Dear teachers, let me confess here that I may not remember all the theories you taught me, despite the fact that I spent days studying them. But I remember the little stories that made the entire class laugh, I remember those silly biology projects in which the live frogs ran away from the laboratory, and I distinctly remember that remark, "ask questions, it is okay to ask silly questions and make silly mistakes." This book is a compilation of stories revolving around teachers and students who look beyond pressure of exams and grades.

Download or read book Life After Death written by William Landon and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2008-10-07 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THERE ARE FEW SUBJECTS IN HUMAN THOUGHT THAT RAISE SUCH STRONG EMOTIONS AS THE AFTERLIFE. What if anything, awaits us after we leave this physical world? Are we reincarnated to try to "get it right" through another life? Do we simply vanish? Do we enter some state of bliss or torment based on our good deeds or lack of them? It seems that there is no end of conjecture offered by human religion and philosophy on this subject. Yet, most of this seems to be nothing more than baseless speculation. As we have no evidence (indeed, we cannot have any physical evidence) of what becomes of us after our physical death, it appears that we have no choice but to pick the idea that is most appealing to us and go with it. It is true enough that we will ultimately pick the idea of the afterlife that we choose to believe to be correct, yet this is a matter of sufficiently great importance to warrant our choosing wisely. The source of information we choose to accept as the correct depiction of the afterlife is one of the most critical decisions we will ever make. While this will ultimately be a matter of belief, we owe it to ourselves to make our choice based on what these sources actually say and not on what we think they say or what others tell us they say. This book is presented as a look at the Bible's teaching on the subject of the afterlife and the choices available to us for an existence after this present life is over. The findings presented in this book are at considerable variance with the teachings of traditional institutional Christian church doctrine and dogma. It is the author's hope that the points presented here will give the reader a different perspective of the biblical view of life, death and afterlife.
Download or read book Life beyond Grades written by Martin V. Covington and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2017-07-25 with total page 519 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book raises the question of whether or not educators can promote intrinsic motivation among college students when they seem overwhelmingly focused on grades. Indeed, can there be life beyond grades? The answer is 'Yes'. A love of learning can coexist, even thrive, in the face of competing pressures from grades. Drawing on recent, ground-breaking classroom research, the authors articulate a new understanding of the causes of the stalemate between intrinsic and external motivation, so that a reconciliation between them can be achieved. Then the authors apply a powerful set of motivational and pedagogical principles to lay out a step-by-step blueprint for designing and teaching college courses that promote intrinsic motivation as a primary educational goal in its own right, above and beyond knowledge and skill acquisition. This practical blueprint draws on authentic case study examples from a variety of subject-matter disciplines.

Download or read book Life Beyond the Holocaust written by Mira Ryczke Kimmelman and published by Univ. of Tennessee Press. This book was released on 2005-10-25 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “For the rare Jews of Poland who managed to survive the Holocaust, the very idea of a return to what had been one’s homeland might seem both physically and psychologically impossible, perhaps even absurd. Yet it is precisely this paradoxical journey that Mira Kimmelman undertakes with great dignity and generosity. In words that are both direct and intimate, she exposes the ambivalence of what it means to learn to live again after Auschwitz—to experience love, raise a family, and assume a steadfast place in the Jewish community of a new land. At the same time, she acknowledges the abyss of losses that can never be retrieved. Perhaps even more importantly, Mira reveals how the pain of a return is transformed into a new adventure of discovery and reconciliation to be shared with her sons, their families, and her readers for generations to come.”—Karen D. LevyProfessor of French StudiesUniversity of Tennessee “This book is written with intelligence, sensitivity, and eloquence. As a post-Holocaust memoir, it is an excellent volume, inasmuch as it brings out the scope of the Holocaust, its impact on future generations, and how it affects our understanding of past generations. The author explores and elucidates the problems of liberation from death and the return to life that forever confront Holocaust survivors.” —David Patterson Bornblum Chair in Judaic Studies University of Memphis “Life beyond the Holocaust brings to mind in its power to document painful memories Primo Levi’s The Reawakening. Ms. Kimmelman’s memoir is, above all, a beautiful love story of herself and her husband, Max. She writes in a vernacular style that evokes her experiences with specific details. Her book is alive ... and celebrates in good prose human values triumphing over radical evil.” —Hugh Nissenson
Download or read book A Life Beyond Reason written by Chris Gabbard and published by Beacon Press. This book was released on 2019-05-28 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An unflinching and luminous memoir that explores a father’s philosophical transformation when he must reconsider the questions what makes us human? and whose life is worth living? Before becoming a father, Chris Gabbard was a fast-track academic finishing his doctoral dissertation at Stanford. A disciple of Enlightenment thinkers, he was a devotee of reason, believed in the reliability of science, and lived by the dictum that an unexamined life is not worth living. That is, until his son August was born. Despite his faith that modern medicine would not fail him, August was born with a severe traumatic brain injury as a likely result of medical error and lived as a spastic quadriplegic who was cortically blind, profoundly cognitively impaired, and nonverbal. While Gabbard tried to uncover what went wrong during the birth and adjusted to his new role raising a child with multiple disabilities, he began to rethink his commitment to Enlightenment thinkers—who would have concluded that his son was doomed to a life of suffering. But August was a happy child who brought joy to just about everyone he met in his 14 years of life—and opened up Gabbard’s capacity to love. Ultimately, he comes to understand that his son is undeniably a person deserving of life. A Life Beyond Reason will challenge readers to reexamine their beliefs about who is deserving of humanity.

Download or read book Gangri Langtso The college journal 2018 Men Tsee Khang written by English Editorial Board and published by Mentseekhang Documentation & Publication. This book was released on 2018-03-23 with total page 97 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Note from the Editor’s Desk Dear fellow students, It is a matter of immense joy for us to be able to bring out the XXIVth issue of our annual academic journal, Gangri Langtso. Gangri Langtso is a vitally important bilingual academic platform of our college for free and open intellectual discussions on various topics pertaining to Tibetan medicine, Tibetan Astro. Science and many other subjects. It is also a common platform where we all can share our ideas, thoughts, dreams, and memories in the form of any creative writings. As English editors of this esteemed magazine, we learned a lot of things from the experience and at the same time had quite a delightful and memorable year 2018. We hope the very same for you all;the most respected teachers, staffs, and fellow students. It was a privilege for us to go through your diligently written articles, translations, and poetry all of which are highly admirable and truly deserving much more appreciation. We have published every single article that was submitted to us as we genuinely consider that even one paragraph written on one’s own is so much worthwhile. The benefits of writing essays or analytical articles are so much more than we know. It is believed to be the best method of learning in not only remembering the textual information but also to stimulate our brain for critical and logical thinking which His Holiness the Dalai Lama always gives emphasis to. Why writing is the best method of learning? This is because we can write something on our own language if and only if we are convinced of the facts and we do not get convinced of facts by memorizations through repetition but by reasoning through analysis and logic. Questions may be asked such as, it will be very difficult to cultivate those qualities mentioned above anyway so, why those skills and qualities are absolutely essential for us as future doctors and TASPs? Our profession is deeply connected to wellbeing of other people having direct impacts on their lives. Unlike western doctors who rely on many laboratory tests and machines, our diagnoses and course of treatments have to be mainly based on our own critical thinking, experience, and intelligence. Hence, we must try to develop these skills as early as possible. Even a slight fault in the diagnosis of a patient can cause loss of trust in our medical system. Such is the magnitude of our responsibility. Moreover, if we allow ourselves to think in the lines of secure job from Men-tsee-khang and no need to bother beyond that. I am surely not the right person to point out these facts but every single theory of education, modern or traditional, scholars and research on education policy says learning or educating for job and future security is wrong. We blame modern education and modern medical practitioners with bombastic words like “commercialized” and “no ethics” but first even as students, we absolutely need to search within ourselves to make sure we are free from such blames. How does human brain works as far as learning is concerned? Exams are a necessity that we cannot do away with in today’s world but studying for exams alone does not guarantee knowledge and skills that are needed in real life. This is a challenge that every educators and students face today. When we study only for an exam, our brain naturally cannot commit those chunks of information into permanent memory because sub-consciously we wanted our brain only to retrieve those pieces of information in few weeks during the exam. So, majority of people cannot retain 70-80% of the information one month after the exam if it was not revised regularly. I would be more than glad if someone proved me that I am wrong. However, once we write an investigative article or a short piece on a certain topic in our own words, we don’t forget about it plus we gain additional perspectives on the topic. In my humble opinion, it is in our own advantage to study for life beyond exams. As a fellow student, I am optimistic that what I say here will be taken in a positive spirit. We are living in an interesting time when the world is making leaps and bounds in the field of health science. The diseases that were not curable before few decades are cured easily and preventive medicines even nullify the possibility of many diseases. The research in stem cells and biotechnology is developing in such a rate that now doctors are taking steps in detecting the possibility of certain diseases in one’s life through genetic information and correcting those faulty genes even before birth. The scientists, doctors and researchers spend their lifetimes solely for such breakthroughs needless to mention the billions of dollars spent. In such a rapidly changing time, we, as Sowa Rigpa students, all want to become great future healthcare providers. This is undisputedly a great aspiration and even a noble one. However, just noble thoughts and flowery words will mean nothing if it is not translated into concrete action and obtained results. While maintaining the integrity of our medical system, if we as Sowa Rigpa practitioners, were not able to keep up with the time, our goal of providing people the best possible health service may not be materialized. To highlight some of the things that happened in 2018 pertaining to Sowa Rigpa. In July, American chemistry society, USA published a paper claiming the mercury level in Tibetan medicine is causing an environmental hazard in Tibet and China. Unbiased analysts believe that it is nothing but another sham that Chinese government enacted because ACS clearly acknowledged that the funds came from the Chinese government and they merely published the paper on its website. Since China cannot possibly deny the destruction and havoc brought on the third pole of the world for economic gains, in an effort to mislead the world and wash their hands off, they tried to blame the destruction of Tibetan environment to Tibetan medicine. In the article itself, it does not talk about the thorough process that is strictly followed to detoxify or tame it before using it in Tibetan medicines. In another drama, they added the medicinal bath therapy of Lum, in UNESCO list as “world intangible cultural heritage”. They on one hand want Sowa Rigpa to take the blames of environmental destruction and on the other hand want to claim full patent rights on Sowa Rigpa as “China’s intellectual property”. What more is unreasonable than this? What can we do in the wake of such developments? Last but not the least, I would like to say thank you all who contributed your writings for this very important platform. Such journals are crucial part of educational curriculum. Particularly in the traditional system of education, three things are deemed indispensable namely, lecture, debate, and composition. Each one of them is equally important for a holistic quality education. We believe publishing this journal is serving as a small part in fulfilling the requirements of composition. In fact, I don’t need to emphasize more on the importance of learning through composition because Yuthok Yonten Gompo himself clearly stated in Gyueshi that, “the foundation to become a great physician is to excel in reading and composition”, in the 31st chapter of explanatory tantra. Finally, we thank Dr. Namdol Lhamo la for proofreading the articles and sharing her insights with us. We also thank you all very much for giving us this opportunity to serve as the English editor of this journal. Our very limited experience and lack of proper knowledge in English language were the greatest obstacles to work in our best abilities. Even so, we are very happy to put our best efforts in this endeavor for we consider it an honor to have your trust and support. May the merits of our collective efforts bear the fruits soon, to free sentient beings from suffering. We wish you all a very happy and meaningful academic year 2019. Yours Sincerely, Thupten Palden
Download or read book Life Beyond 100 written by C. Norman Shealy and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2006-12-28 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using today's most leading-edge therapies and breakthroughs in the science of longevity, C. Norman Shealy, one of the pioneering holistic physicians of our time, shows how we can healthfully age to one hundred, and beyond. The idea of living well beyond one hundred years-and enjoying those years in good health-used to be the stuff of science fiction. No longer. C. Norman Shealy, M.D., Ph.D., whom Caroline Myss calls a "wizard-genius-scientist-mystic-physician," offers Life Beyond 100: Secrets of the Fountain of Youth. In this deeply learned and revolutionary book, Dr. Shealy provides a new concept of longevity, one that reveals that we can live far longer than current science suggests. Basic healthy living and the use of alternative therapies have long been touted as "the way" to well-being, but Dr. Shealy takes these tenets a step further. From the physiology of stress and its effect on the human mind and body to the importance of DHEA; from the proven techniques of photostimulation and biofeedback training to groundbreaking suggestions for alleviating depression; from Shealy's electromagnetic framework of life to his recommendations for optimal health, Life Beyond 100 presents a detailed roadmap to achieve healthy aging-or "youthing." The result of years of clinical practice and cutting-edge research, Life Beyond 100 also exposes the fallacies behind many of the claims made by the medical establishment and the pharmaceutical industry. Shealy argues that rather than increasing people's life expectancy, these two groups create the opposite effect, consigning hundreds of thousands of people to an often miserable and premature old age by treating symptoms with an antidote-prescription medicine-that is often worse than the ailment itself. As a counterpoint, Life Beyond 100 provides the most ambitious- yet medically grounded and commonsensical-longevity program available. Easy to follow and supported by advanced research, Dr. Shealy's guide to uncovering the secrets of youthful aging redefines the concept of human longevity and offers a new vision of healthy living to one hundred and beyond.

This book was released on 2013-10-30 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An encouraging, inspirational, spirit-filled, and at times, funny book that highlights Tonia's real life-changing experiences. This memoir will take the reader on a military and spiritual journey where Tonia traveled the country as a member of the military, a singer and a dancer. She encountered many bumps in the road, as well as exhilarating experiences. She could not believe she was about to experience her "it" moment, dancing with Bones or getting selected for that prestigious entertainment group, Air Force Tops in Blue. Her journey also entails many adversities and obstacles, but she did not allow them to impede or stifle her plans, hopes and dreams. Instead, she used them as a springboard to catapult her to bigger and greater things, such as getting promoted to Chief Master Sergeant in less than 20 years and living a more peaceful and spirit-filled life. Tonia knew that with God all things are possible and eventually relied on the religious foundations she received as a child. She recognized the joy that can be realized from serving God. She also uses the Trinity Approach, The Father, Son and the Holy Ghost to help her overcome and achieve the victory. In spite of illnesses, divorce, racism, sexual harassment, and verbal abuse, she continues to live her life beyond adversities.
