Download or read book Life s Little Lessons Too a Proper Life with a Career written by James Smith and published by Covenant Books, Inc.. This book was released on 2022-08-23 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the second in a series of the lessons learned during my life. The first volume, Life's Little Lessons--with Some Not So Little was primarily situated during my adolescent years up until I started college. It was about those experiences that we all most likely encounter in our own way during those developmental years. This second book starts off where the first one ended, extending my lessons learned developing my professional career. As in the first volume, the individuals you interact with all around you--plus the social, physical, and clearly professional environments you live in--all impact who you are now and who you will become in the future. While these lessons collectively are all unique influences in your personal development, it turns out these factors are only part of a set of what I refer to as lessons that everyone is exposed to and allowed to integrate into their personality at their choosing. Together, they essentially become the building blocks of your existence and help to determine how well you will, and can, participate in your ever-changing social and professional environments. These lessons are among a common set where each will be experienced by the majority of us in a unique randomized order, further individualizing each of us since no two individuals experience the same things in the same ways at the same times. Fortunately, it is in this myriad of possible experiential events and our interpretations that help create the depth of our professional presence and, as such, collectively for the overall population, the enhancement and continued survival of our species. It is in the responses and reactions created through our experienced stories where we learn to understand who we really are and how best we are to live and work in the complex and interwoven environments that we exist in. This book consists of a series of short stories, lessons that impacted my life and the lives of the many others that came in contact with or participated in these stories. It is hoped that reading this book will help the reader realize the importance of these lessons and how attention to their details in your own life will enhance and encourage your continued professional and social development.

These lessons start with my earliest memories and conclude with some that initiated the development of my professional career. While this book is not a complete list of those experiences, it does contain several that were prominent in my development, where each has an associated story that helps to frame the lesson learned. These lessons at a minimum will hopefully create smiles and possibly stimulate some recognized memories of similar events in your own life.

Book excerpt: Life is not what you get out of it . . . it’s what you put back in. Yet our current means for summarizing life’s work, from resumes to salaries, are devoid of what matters most.

Download or read book Homes and Careers in Canada written by Harry Jeffs and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 1914 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the fruits of a visit to Canada in which the author crossed the country from Montreal to Vancouver, and returned from Halifax, Nova Scotia. As a journalist and National President of the Brotherhood Movement, which advises Brotherhood emigrants going out, and arranges for their welcome by Canadian Brotherhood men, he found all doors open to him. He had countless talks with men of all classes, native Canadians and British settlers who had been in the country from two or three to forty years. Ministers of the Dominion and Provincial Governments freely answered his numerous questions as to the wisest course to be adopted by various classes of emigrants, and Dominion and Provincial State officials gave him all possible information in frank talk and by placing at his disposal valuable State publications. Ministers of religion, prominent business and professional men, journalists, "real estate" men, hosts and hostesses in whose homes he was graciously received, heads of Emigration Departments, leading officials of the great transcontinental railways, all contributed to his accumulating stock of information; and, needless to say, he lost no opportunity of seeing things for himself and forming his own judgments. In his railway journeys, amounting to 10,000 miles, he fraternised with the commercial travellers on the trains, and from them, and their discussions and comparison of notes among themselves,

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Who would have thought that one of the most popular childhood toys held so many of life’s answers. In The Little Red Wagon, prolific business leader and public servant Ron Simmons invites you to leave ordinary behind and glide into the richly meaningful life you were intended to live. From his humble beginnings in the rural South to the heights of influence as an entrepreneur, finance executive, and three-term member of the Texas House of Representatives, Simmons mines the depths of his triumphs and travails to provide a wealth of applicable insights. Whether you’re out front holding the wagon’s handle, shifting the direction from inside, riding along as cargo, or pushing from the rear, the place you occupy will set your course toward more of the same or to bold adventure. Simmons has learned that it isn’t a lack of talent or ability that often holds us back. It’s the lure of the safe, comfortable path that threatens to keep us stuck in a rut of fear and negativity, speeding along with no clear destination, or passively catching a ride instead of taking initiative and action. Filled with winsome stories and hard-won lessons, The Little Red Wagonwill inspire you to: Escape a drifting, copy-and-paste life and embark on real adventure. Take the next uncomfortable step on your journey from settling to soaring. Recognize when to pivot to positions that move your wagon forward. Dream big and pursue your dreams with passion, purpose, and a plan. The Little Red Wagon is certain to take you places that will change your outlook and your life.

They have answers.” —The New York Times Designers create worlds and solve problems using design thinking. Look around your office or home—at the tablet or smartphone you may be holding or the chair you are sitting in. Everything in our lives was designed by someone. And every design starts with a problem that a designer or team of designers seeks to solve. In this book, Bill Burnett and Dave Evans show us how design thinking can help us create a life that is both meaningful and fulfilling, regardless of who or where we are, what we do or have done for a living, or how young or old we are. The same design thinking responsible for amazing technology, products, and spaces can be used to design and build your career and your life, a life of fulfillment and joy, constantly creative and productive, one that always holds the possibility of surprise.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Heartfelt and ever-endearing—equal parts information and inspiration. This is a book to keep by your bedside and return to often.”—Amy Dickinson, nationally syndicated advice columnist "Ask Amy" More than one thousand extraordinary Americans share their stories and the wisdom they have gained on living, loving, and finding happiness. After a chance encounter with an extraordinary ninety-year-old woman, renowned gerontologist Karl Pillemer began to wonder what older people know about life that the rest of us don't. His quest led him to interview more than one thousand Americans over the age of sixty-five to seek their counsel on all the big issues: children, marriage, money, career, aging. Their moving stories and uncompromisingly honest answers often surprised him. And he found that he consistently heard advice that pointed to these thirty lessons for living. Here he weaves their personal recollections of difficulties overcome and lives well lived into a timeless book filled with the hard-won advice these older Americans wish someone had given them when they were young. Like This I Believe, StoryCorps's Listening Is an Act of Love, and Tuesdays with Morrie, 30 Lessons for Living is a book to keep and to give. Offering clear advice toward a more fulfilling life, it is as useful as it is inspiring.
