Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The sole purpose of this book is to teach you to THINK and to THINK correctly. In "MY LIFE IN MY POCKET FOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS" you will learn that there are 24 Pockets of Success. Each pocket represents an aspect of life-a lesson to help you think about various situations that you will face-things like Goals, Hope, Disappointment, Anger, Humiliation, Money, Dating, and Loss. Think of this book as a zero to 100-point quiz: you get zero if you don't write anything in the book and 100 for completing each section. By answering the questions in this book, you will learn how to be successful by engaging in a conversation with yourself through the five senses of success. By using these senses you can, and will, have your dreams come true if you think about them, visualize having them, feel good about them, write them down and act on your ideas. You will recognize the power of words and how you must have certain words "in the pocket." These words will affect your decision-making and your way of thinking and how you think can make the difference between success and failure. Where you are today does not determine where you will be tomorrow. What determines your tomorrow is what you THINK about today. BR> AUTHOR BIOGRAPHY K.L. Lewis is a leading expert on Self-Advocacy.

Book excerpt: What causes an Israeli born in Romania to immigrate to America and end up with over three hundred patents in his name in the most exciting scientific and technological breakthroughs of the twentieth century? Join the adventures of physicist, inventor, and entrepreneur Zvi Yaniv and see how Jules Verne’s book, The Mysterious Island, ignited his imagination and love for science, which, in turn, propelled him to a career in flat panel displays, image digitizers, and molecular engineering. These fields eventually became an integral part of what is known in the common vernacular today as nanotechnology. Do you use an image scanner digitizer? Are you reading this on a flat panel display, on your computer, your iPad , or iPhone? Are you getting information driving on the highways from electronic billboards? Are you watching the news or movies on your giant color TV screen? Follow Zvi’s journey and along the way, learn how to unleash your own creativity and innovation. Understand what nanotechnology is all about and its future. This book is about creativity, innovation, and entrepreneurship, using the vehicle of Dr. Yaniv’s life and career as a case study. The book shows one person’s ability to use his creativity and innovation skills to impact the fields of liquid crystal displays, image scanner digitizers, flat-screen color TVs, digital advertising, and give rise to nanotechnologically based new materials and applications thereof. During his more-than-four-decade career in science and industry, Zvi perfected techniques for taking ideas from concept to commercialization, outlining an explicit road map for this process. Along the way, the book demystifies what nanotechnology is and how it impacts different aspects of our society from science to education to medicine to new materials fields.
Download or read book Your First Page First Pages and What They Tell Us about the Pages that Follow Them written by Peter Selgin and published by Broadview Press. This book was released on 2019-08-15 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Your First Page is unlike any other craft book on writing. It is based on the premise that practically everything that can go right or wrong in a work of fiction or memoir goes wrong or right on the first page. Those first 300 or so words function like canaries in coal mines, forecasting success or predicting trouble. They establish the crucial bond between writer and reader, setting them off together on a path toward the heart or climax of a story—or they fail to do so. From first pages we stand to learn most of what we need to know to succeed as authors. This new workshop and classroom edition of Your First Page has been revised to better fit the needs of creative writing classrooms and workshops.

Download or read book An Onion in My Pocket written by Deborah Madison and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2021-08-17 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a groundbreaking chef and beloved cookbook author, Deborah Madison—“The Queen of Greens” (The Washington Post)—has profoundly changed the way generations of Americans think about cooking with vegetables, helping to transform “vegetarian” from a dirty word into a mainstream way of eating. But before she became a household name, Madison spent almost twenty years at the Zen Center in the midst of counterculture San Francisco. In this warm, candid, and refreshingly funny memoir, she tells the story of her life in food—and with it, the story of the vegetarian movement—for the very first time. From her childhood in Northern California’s Big Ag heartland to sitting sesshin for hours on end at the Tassajara monastery; from her work in the kitchen of the then-new Chez Panisse to the birth of food TV to the age of farmers’ markets everywhere, An Onion in My Pocket is a deeply personal look at the rise of vegetable-forward cooking and a manifesto for how to eat (and live) well today.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sometimes following your dreams isn’t all it’s cracked up to be…. When I decided I’d stop at nothing to become a Vampire Hunter, even though my older sister and her teammates knew I wasn’t ready, I got myself into trouble—a whole lot of trouble. Now, I’ll never be exactly what I wanted to be—and I’ll never be the same as I was before either. There’s a dangerous Vampire on the loose, and I know I’m the only one who can stop him from continuing to prey on the innocent. But since I’ve already broken my sister’s trust, how can I prove to her that I’m more than just her little sister? I’m a weapon. We both know there’s no one else in the world like me, but I’ll have to show her I can follow her orders before she’ll let me move forward with my plan. And that’s a problem. Because we also both know following directions is no longer my strong suit. Will I be able to stick to my training long enough to demonstrate my value or will the Vampire continue his destruction? My name is Cassidy Findley, and this is my life as a teenage Vampire Hunter. The Chronicles of Cassidy is a retelling of The Clandestine Saga specifically for young adult/teen readers told from the perspective of high schooler Cassidy Findley.
