Book excerpt: NOW O' CLOCK By William Garcia "Life lasts but an instant" I thought I first heard these words in the 1973 blockbuster movie, "Enter the Dragon," .I left the theatre that night with the words "Life lasts but an instant seemingly on a perpetual loop in my mind. I pondered the meaning of those words for manths on end and at some point it dawned upon me what I now beleive those words mean. Now, I want to share my thoughts with you. There seems to be no time for 'now, ' when 'now' is all there is and all we have. We are too preoccupied with being modern and Modernity; we're are constantly distracted. This is because the insatiable beast, that is modernity, wields its powerful influences upon us. We seem to have surrendered our ability to choose for ourselves. We need to realize that the past, the present, and the future form a straight time line through life.On that line, there are three points that reflects our existence. The last point being Death, or as I describe it in this book; we simply run out of life. Life would seem short of you think in terms of numbers as opposed to thinking in terms of actually "Being" and "Doing" in the present positive tense. We need to reflect on our own humanity and the relationships we have with those we love. As obvious as it may seem, we only have 'now, ' this moment, this instant to be able to do something about anything. Life is an instantaneous expereince. However, this is not to suggest that we rush through life. Instead, it is to realize that we cannot travel faster than the speed of 'now'. We simply need to slow down. We need to return to the basics of life and rethink our reasons for doing the things we do, not merely on a daily basis, but during the continous 'now' as we live. The search for meaning in our lives, the hopes, the purpose and the passion, will start a new conversation in your head about your reason for living. We need to understand that 'time' is constant and perpetual and that life is variable and finite. There is no old 'time' or new 'time, ' no fast 'time' or slow 'time'. There is only 'time'; there is only 'now' and the always becoming of the brand new 'you'. What we do in 'time' is another matter. We have the free will to live as we choose. Why not reclaim our individual ability to choose on our own volition. We need to be proactive with respect to our pursuits in life, especially being there for someone else. So, it is very important to love those you love, now.. Love much, love often. The idea of tomorrow, and it is just an idea, is only the promise of an imaginary time to come.. 'Now' is as real as it gets. In the scheme of things, God has a place for us. Have a place for God in your life. It is vitally important to really try to slow down, if only for a couple of seconds at a time. It will change your life for the better and like me, and in your own way, only you can expereince what I am talking about and only you can describe it. Remember that there is nothing more powerful than the present moment. When I think about all there is to say or do 'now, ' I'm overwhelmed. Life does lasts but an instant.It is the most powerful and intriguing paradox. We live our entire lives in the span of an instant, yet, a lifetime is not enough time to tell it all or do it all. It's life. It's lifetime. It is Now O' Clock.

Download or read book On the Clock written by Emily Guendelsberger and published by Little, Brown. This book was released on 2019-07-16 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Nickel and Dimed for the Amazon age," (Salon) the bitingly funny, eye-opening story of finding work in the automated and time-starved world of hourly low-wage labor After the local newspaper where she worked as a reporter closed, Emily Guendelsberger took a pre-Christmas job at an Amazon fulfillment center outside Louisville, Kentucky. There, the vending machines were stocked with painkillers, and the staff turnover was dizzying. In the new year, she travelled to North Carolina to work at a call center, a place where even bathroom breaks were timed to the second. And finally, Guendelsberger was hired at a San Francisco McDonald's, narrowly escaping revenge-seeking customers who pelted her with condiments. Across three jobs, and in three different parts of the country, Guendelsberger directly took part in the revolution changing the U.S. workplace. Offering an up-close portrait of America's actual "essential workers," On the Clock examines the broken social safety net as well as an economy that has purposely had all the slack drained out and converted to profit. Until robots pack boxes, resolve billing issues, and make fast food, human beings supervised by AI will continue to get the job done. Guendelsberger shows us how workers went from being the most expensive element of production to the cheapest - and how low wage jobs have been remade to serve the ideals of efficiency, at the cost of humanity. On the Clock explores the lengths that half of Americans will go to in order to make a living, offering not only a better understanding of the modern workplace, but also surprising solutions to make work more humane for millions of Americans.

Download or read book How Buildings Learn written by Stewart Brand and published by Penguin. This book was released on 1995-10-01 with total page 648 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A captivating exploration of the ever-evolving world of architecture and the untold stories buildings tell. When a building is finished being built, that isn’t the end of its story. More than any other human artifacts, buildings improve with time—if they’re allowed to. Buildings adapt by being constantly refined and reshaped by their occupants, and in that way, architects can become artists of time rather than simply artists of space. From the connected farmhouses of New England to I.M. Pei’s Media Lab, from the evolution of bungalows to the invention of Santa Fe Style, from Low Road military surplus buildings to a High Road English classic like Chatsworth—this is a far-ranging survey of unexplored essential territory. Discover how structures become living organisms, shaped by the people who inhabit them, and learn how architects can harness the power of time to create enduring works of art through the interconnected worlds of design, function, and human ingenuity.
