Download or read book Jim Kersting An American Dream written by David Johnson and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2017-06-09 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wikipedia defines the American Dream as a "national ethos of the United States, the set of ideals (Democracy, Rights, Liberty, Opportunity, and Equality) in which freedom includes the opportunity for prosperity and success, and an upward social mobility for the family and children, achieved through hard work in a society with few barriers. In the definition of the American Dream by James Truslow Adams in 1931, 'life should be better and richer and fuller for everyone, with opportunity for each according to ability or achievement regardless of social class or circumstances of birth.'" The story of Jim Kersting encapsulates his rise from the cornfields of northern Indiana in the 1940s to becoming a successful entrepreneur in the motorcycle business and founder of his amazing World of Motorcycles Museum that included the involvement and hard work of his immediate family along the way. Celebrating the fiftieth anniversary of his Harley-Davidson dealership in 2012, Jim and his family exuded pride in all they had built and continue to operate in the same rural location where his combination home and mechanic workshop sat just after he returned from the army and was married in the early 1960s. But an American Dream is a rarity, and Jim has certainly earned the moniker through the steady application of his mechanical skills, hard work ethic, Christian morals, risk, and reinvestments through the difficult early years after opening his business. His close friends and family speak about his staunch reputation for honesty and integrity. Jim himself describes how his early education and strong competitive instincts formed the self-confidence and motivation to build a foundation for his business to thrive upon. Customers who spoke to the friends and family about their satisfaction with Jim's style of service and selling his high-quality motorcycles, parts, and products added to his bottom line increasingly for decades. Jim's childhood lessons, Army days, various jobs, marriage, children, business start-ups, challenges, and faith are all examined to find out what he did along the way to become a successful, true American Dream.

Download or read book The Spectral Arctic written by Shane McCorristine and published by UCL Press. This book was released on 2018-05-01 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Visitors to the Arctic enter places that have been traditionally imagined as otherworldly. This strangeness fascinated audiences in nineteenth-century Britain when the idea of the heroic explorer voyaging through unmapped zones reached its zenith. The Spectral Arctic re-thinks our understanding of Arctic exploration by paying attention to the importance of dreams and ghosts in the quest for the Northwest Passage. The narratives of Arctic exploration that we are all familiar with today are just the tip of the iceberg: they disguise a great mass of mysterious and dimly lit stories beneath the surface. In contrast to oft-told tales of heroism and disaster, this book reveals the hidden stories of dreaming and haunted explorers, of frozen mummies, of rescue balloons, visits to Inuit shamans, and of the entranced female clairvoyants who travelled to the Arctic in search of John Franklin’s lost expedition. Through new readings of archival documents, exploration narratives, and fictional texts, these spectral stories reflect the complex ways that men and women actually thought about the far North in the past. This revisionist historical account allows us to make sense of current cultural and political concerns in the Canadian Arctic about the location of Franklin’s ships.
