Download or read book 365 Thank Yous written by John Kralik and published by Hachette Books. This book was released on 2010-12-28 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One recent December, at age 53, John Kralik found his life at a terrible, frightening low: his small law firm was failing; he was struggling through a painful second divorce; he had grown distant from his two older children and was afraid he might lose contact with his young daughter; he was living in a tiny apartment where he froze in the winter and baked in the summer; he was 40 pounds overweight; his girlfriend had just broken up with him; and overall, his dearest life dreams--including hopes of upholding idealistic legal principles and of becoming a judge--seemed to have slipped beyond his reach. Then, during a desperate walk in the hills on New Year's Day, John was struck by the belief that his life might become at least tolerable if, instead of focusing on what he didn't have, he could find some way to be grateful for what he had. Inspired by a beautiful, simple note his ex-girlfriend had sent to thank him for his Christmas gift, John imagined that he might find a way to feel grateful by writing thank-you notes. To keep himself going, he set himself a goal--come what may--of writing 365 thank-you notes in the coming year. One by one, day after day, he began to handwrite thank yous--for gifts or kindnesses he'd received from loved ones and coworkers, from past business associates and current foes, from college friends and doctors and store clerks and handymen and neighbors, and anyone, really, absolutely anyone, who'd done him a good turn, however large or small. Immediately after he'd sent his very first notes, significant and surprising benefits began to come John's way--from financial gain to true friendship, from weight loss to inner peace. While John wrote his notes, the economy collapsed, the bank across the street from his office failed, but thank-you note by thank-you note, John's whole life turned around. 365 Thank Yous is a rare memoir: its touching, immediately accessible message--and benefits--come to readers from the plainspoken storytelling of an ordinary man. Kralik sets a believable, doable example of how to live a miraculously good life. To read 365 Thank Yous is to be changed.

Book excerpt: Mario Bellatin’s complex dreamscape, offered here in a brand-new translation, presents a timely allegorical portrait of the body and society in decay, victim to inscrutable pandemic. In a large, unnamed city, a strange, highly infectious disease begins to spread, afflicting its victims with an excruciating descent toward death, particularly unsparing in its assault of those on society's margins. Spurned by their loved ones and denied treatment by hospitals, the sick are left to die on the streets until a beauty salon owner, whose previous caretaking experience extended only to the exotic fish tanks scattered among his workstations, opens his doors as a refuge. In the ramshackle Morgue, victim to persecution and violence, he accompanies his male guests as they suffer through the lifeless anticipation of certain death, eventually leaving the wistful narrator in complete, ill-fated isolation.

Download or read book The Artistry of an Artist Lorenzo Green written by Lorenzo Louis Green and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2021-08-04 with total page 63 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why did I write this book? The number one reason I wrote it is because of the love I have for the business. This is a business that I wake up to as I wait for the alarm to go off. It's a business that I dream about while sleeping. It's a business that I wake up to throughout the night with thoughts and ideas of how to make it better. It's a business where I envision styles, cuts, and color. It's a business that has never been "work" for me but rather a joy, a happiness, and a feeling that I've pleased someone. My book is also about serving customers. It's always about customers––before, during, and after service. The perception of success of such interaction is dependent on employees who can adjust themselves to the personality of the guest. This is why good customer service typically means providing timely, attentive, upbeat service to a customer and making sure their needs are met in a manner that reflects positively on the company or business. I started writing this book nineteen years ago, and eight years ago, I gave it my subtitle: "Just in Time for the Hair Salon Guest." My book is also about my son, who is physically challenged, and my two daughters. You should value your guests over anything else. Respond to them quickly and efficiently. You need to communicate with the guests with empathy and understanding. Always prepare for tomorrow because it is coming. What will you be doing when it gets here? 2
