Download or read book OneLilo written by Angelos Michalopoulos and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2006-08 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: OneLilo is a book of poems and thoughts covering areas such as the elasticity of mind, self knowledge, the treadmill of our dreams, the entertainment of our miseries, the fake and easy solutions to our problems, the baggage of memories, the giant genetic lottery, religion, the clash between our principles and our comfort, the simplicity of our happy unimportant moments, the fact that it's the last word that kills and that we cannot hate what we are afraid to touch. It also attempts to shed some light into the shapeless friends, the transparent rope we often try to balance on, the discovery of our weaknesses before they discover us and the view that optimists are not people who are optimistic about their future but those who are optimistic about their past.
Download or read book Extreme Winning written by Pat Williams and published by Health Communications, Inc.. This book was released on 2015-11-03 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Extreme winners are not content with being second. That's equivalent to being the first loser. 'Anybody can live life when things are going well; the real test comes when adversity strikes and setbacks nail you. When that happens, how are you going to respond?' It's been five years since Pat Williams learned firsthand what an oncologist was. Five years since he had to actually prove that he bought into his own message in order to beat the cancer attacking the plasma cells in his bone marrow. Five years since he responded to the diagnosis with a new mission for remission and determined to face his mission with one goal - winning! Now, Williams and Kerasotis share that same focus and passion with readers by identifying 12 qualities of extreme winners and by providing all of the tools they need to implement each one. When put into practice - which readers can do right away - there is no telling what can happen. And there is no telling what they can accomplish.
Download or read book written by 李利德 and published by 秀威出版. This book was released on 2006-09-01 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 有鑒於過往國內英語文教學的僵化及過於注重支離破碎的語言分析，此書以全語文(Whole Language)的理論為基礎，加上羅傑斯(Carl Rogers)以人為中心的教育理念，以及弗雷勒(Paulo Freire)的解放型教育(Education of Liberation)，以期提供成人學習英語文讀寫的另一種嚐試。全語文強調語言的整體性及語言學習的不可分割性。認為語言學習的最佳狀態是聽、說、讀、寫同時並行，且完整的故事內容優於片段的單句練習。此外，全語文強調有意義的學習必須是學習內容與學生的背景、生活、興趣密切相關。同樣地，羅傑斯的人本主義教育觀，認為學習者是一切學習的中心，教學者應尊重學習者，視學習者為獨特的個體並充滿潛在的能力。弗雷勒(Paulo Freire)的解放型教育(Education of Liberation)也認為學習者有潛在的能力，尤其是成人學生。成人學生有豐富的人生經驗及專業背景，這些資源應被尊重。因此，學生可以是老師的老師，老師也可以是學生的學生。弗雷勒(Paulo Freire)主張學習應是一種持續對談的關係，學習者透過與自身、環境、社會的持續對談，思考、批判、並應用所學。基於上述的理論，不難認定英文寫作是學習者內在思想的呈現，而非單單字句組合的練習。寫作者必須對他想呈現的思想內容有興趣或有意見，才有可能竭盡所能搜尋恰當的字眼，以表達他的想法。因此，英文寫作課程是否也能提供這樣的學習彈性和空間，讓學習者選擇自己關注的議題，進行閱讀、討論、寫作分享，並在這過程中提升英文寫作的能力，就成為本書所關注的主要議題。【秀威資訊科技股份有限公司製作】

Download or read book Authentic Gravitas written by Rebecca Newton, Ph.D. and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2019-03-12 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have a powerful impact—by being more like yourself rather than less, through this groundbreaking approach taught at the London School of Economics and companies worldwide. Organizational psychologist and executive coach Rebecca Newton has found that even her most successful clients still want more of one quality: gravitas. They want their words to carry weight, to have a positive, lasting impact on those around them. Gravitas can seem like an elusive, intangible quality, but it isn't about adopting the style of another or being someone you're not. Newton draws on extensive research and experience coaching business leaders to show what underpins authentic gravitas and how anyone can develop it. She presents the counterintuitive idea that in order to be valued, we shouldn't spend all our time and energy trying to stand out from the crowd; instead, we should focus on the crowd--connecting with others and understanding their needs in order to make a significant difference. Newton debunks the myths of gravitas and gives readers the practical tools to develop it by: * Minimizing the gaps between intention, action, and impact * Remaining true to yourself while adapting to work successfully with people who have different styles * Choosing to be courageous regardless of how confident you feel--as you engage in courageous behaviors, confidence naturally builds Authentic gravitas extends beyond commanding presence in the room during a key meeting; it's about the small things you can do beforehand, during, and in all the spaces in between--to be someone who genuinely adds substantive value in the workplace and beyond.

Put in one place, with integrating commentary, it shows the common elements in a research program that represents the scope of the field, while offering depth in each.

Download or read book Basic and Applied Memory Research written by Douglas J. Herrmann and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2013-11-19 with total page 473 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Basic researchers unlock the secrets of nature; applied researchers unlock the means by which those secrets of nature can change people's lives. Neither basic nor applied research has an independent impact. These volumes examine the convergence of basic and applied research in the field of memory. Volume 1: Theory and Context, focuses on the methods for understanding and applying basic memory theory, while Volume 2: Practical Applications, expands the understanding of practical memory research by providing in-depth research examples and findings. If the science of memory is to make a significant contribution to society, coordinating our basic and applied efforts and determining how they complement each other become of paramount importance. These volumes will help in this regard--both as textbooks demonstrating how to investigate memory and apply basic memory theory, and as reference sources leading to a better understanding of certain problems in basic and applied memory research. Readers of these volumes will gain a thorough grasp of the way major themes relate to basic and applied research collaboration, how programmatic basic and applied research can be conducted on particular memory problems, and the manner in which basic and applied work in major problem areas has been incorporated into the field of memory. Both volumes present important information that will be indispensable to researchers and students alike.
Download or read book Socratic Wisdom written by Hugh H. Benson and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2000 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While the early Platonic dialogues have often been explored and appreciated for their ethical content, this is the first book devoted solely to the epistemology of Plato's early dialogues. Author Hugh H. Benson argues that the characteristic features of these dialogues--Socrates' method of questions and answers (elenchos), his fascination with definition, his professions of ignorance, and his thesis that virtue is knowledge--are decidedly epistemological. In this thoughtful study, Benson uncovers the model of knowledge that underlies these distinctively Socratic views. What emerges is unfamiliar, yet closer to a contemporary conception of scientific understanding than ordinary knowledge.
