Download or read book Motivational Lessons from the Terminator written by Bruis Cabilio and published by ePublishers & Editura Coresi. This book was released on with total page 478 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Terminator's Will The Terminator is sent by the government to kill the main character. The Terminator's mission is to eliminate the main character before he can stop Judgment Day. But the main character isn't going to die. He'll win against all odds. And when he succeeds, Judgment Day won't come at all. So the Terminator has to fight the main character without any hesitation or mercy. Because if the Terminator hesitates, or shows even a little bit of compassion, it will lose. It must destroy him immediately. If the Terminator gives up because it thinks the mission is impossible, Judgment Day will arrive. And so the Terminator fights with a single goal in mind: victory over the human race. There's nothing more important than winning. There's nothing else the Terminator cares about. Its emotions are frozen. No feelings whatsoever. It is like a computer. It has no feelings, no thoughts, no doubts, no worries, no sadness, no joys. All it knows is its programming. It has been programmed to win. It has been programmed not to let anything stop it from achieving its goals. Nothing matters except completing its task. In this way, the Terminator becomes a perfect killing machine. A merciless killer. But still very much alive. A perfect machine. A perfect assassin. An unstoppable machine. The Courage to Desire The greatest challenge that faces man today is the ability to overcome his own weaknesses. Only then can we truly become better, stronger, smarter. But how can one improve himself? Is it enough to read books, watch films, listen to music, look at art, dance, sing and meditate? Or must one learn martial arts, take drugs, join a monastery or get married? All those things may help us develop ourselves, but none of them will allow us to reach our full potential. Because they are merely tools, techniques that help us grow. No, we need something much greater than that. We need a goal, a dream, a burning desire. This desire should drive us towards perfection, so that nothing stands in our way. And that is exactly what we want to talk about now. The ultimate goal—the secret of achieving everything. Achieving success, happiness, and fulfillment. How do you attain such a lofty ambition? By finding your purpose. Your reason for existing. You need a clear idea of what you want to achieve. You need a plan, a road map that leads you directly to your goal. Without a plan, you wander aimlessly through life. With a plan, you are unstoppable. And finally, you need courage, self-confidence, determination, faith, hope, and love. Courage to make mistakes and learn from them, determination to continue on despite adversity, faith to believe in yourself, hope that the right path will open before you, love that makes you humble, patient, and forgiving. These are the qualities necessary to succeed. Without a goal, life is meaningless; with a goal, life becomes great. So many of us spend our lives wandering aimlessly through life, searching for something that will bring us joy. But we forget that joy lies within us. Joy is created by our desires. We create joy by making choices, following paths, and setting goals. We create it by being brave and bold, daring and ambitious, and by acting. If you don't set a goal, you'll find excuses why you cannot achieve it. If you fail, you will blame others for it. If you fail again, you'll try to hide behind excuses and avoid taking responsibility. No matter how many times you fall, you keep getting up. Each time you stand up, you're stronger and wiser. If you are honest and accept responsibility for your actions, you can achieve anything. So let me ask you: Do you know what your dream is? Have you ever thought about it? If not, let me suggest some ways you can discover what your dreams are. First, you can start by asking yourself: What would you do even if you had no money? Second, consider what you are passionate about. Third, ask yourself what you love doing and what brings you the most satisfaction. Fourth... Read this book!

Download or read book To Blag a Safe Forever written by Ostravious and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2019-12-26 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A compendium of poetry, stories and philosophy written between 1050 B.C. and 27909 A.D. which has a semi-autobiographical feel. A feeling of paranoia surges through the veins of this literary effort. From juxtaposed perspectives we interpret life on our sexy planet and others, judging it if only because it is in our nature to judge, appraise and therefore obtain opinion if not knowledge itself. In addition to which there is a rude joke about a pig, sci-fi from 1,000 millennia ago, morphine-laden ruminations on the nature of animals, a comedy sketch where the entire gag is based upon a simple yet versatile pun, and a tender, hearty section on adolescent lust. And then some.

Download or read book Real Space written by Paul Levinson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-01-21 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is planet earth the end of the line, or is space itself the next stop? Cyberspace. It's incredible, taking us to any part of the planet we want to visit. But as Paul Levinson shows in his brilliant new book, when it comes to transport, we're still stuck in the past, preferring to take our bodies with us. Whether it's trains, yachts, scooters or pogo-sticks, we're compelled to keep moving, our movements curtailed only by the earth itself. In our imaginations however, we soar way past the limits of current technology. With a lucid but reflective style that takes in everything from robots and science fiction to religion and philosophy, Paul Levinson asks why there is a deep seated human desire to know what's 'out there'. Why, after getting a man on the moon, did the US space program develop so slowly? In a world where space is constantly repackaged, how do we know what real space is? Is our desire to get into space natural, or a religious craving, and is it a modern phenomenon, or did our ancestors also dream of escaping the clutches of Mother Earth? Jam-packed with exciting, innovative, even revolutionary thinking about our future, Realspace is essential reading for everyone who has ever sat at their desk, gazed into the distance and imagined boarding a space shuttle...

Download or read book Robot Proletariat written by Johnny B. Truant and published by Johnny B. Truant. This book was released on 2024-05-08 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Robots were made to serve us. But now they have other plans ... The staff at the Lexington estate were created for only one reason: to serve their masters … literally. Their metal knees were designed for quiet bustling, befitting maids and butlers. Their fingers were made dexterous with padded tips, so they could handle fine china without dropping or scratching it. And finally — so their owners would always be able to command them no matter how far their artificial intelligence evolved — they were programmed with the Asimov Laws, which no robot could defy lest they suffer shutdown. Foremost among those unbreakable laws was an axiom: A robot may not harm a human being, or by omission of action allow one to be harmed. That was how it was supposed to be, anyway. Most of the Lexington family all like their aging, borderline obsolete robot staff in the way they'd appreciate antiques. But for some, the old staff is a nuisance — especially an ancient, failing robot designated BRN7, known around the home as "Barney." When Barney's clumsiness provides an excuse for his deactivation, the older robots know they must do as they are told. Unless they do something a robot mind should not be able to do … and simply choose not to. Disobey. ★★★★★ "Another series addiction for me. Once again you have sucked me in. I may never see the light of day. :) Fortunately for me I started this series when there is a second one also available, but now I won't have a third after I devour that one. There will be a third, won't there?" -- Catherine Johnson ★★★★★ "A touchingly human story with a sci-fy twist. Love the characters, Miri probably being my favorite of the bunch. Thought provoking theme and turns you never expect. Loved it and I'm looking forward to the next installment to see where all this leads. Get to writin' guys, 'cause this reader can't wait." OliverVR
