Download or read book Enough Is Enough written by Ray Charles and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-08-19 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We are living in a time where people are drowning in information yet starving for wisdom and knowledge. So often we reach for answers, searching for what we don't have and overlook what is right in front or inside of us. The book title echoes the words of both Theodore Roosevelt and Muhammad Ali, respectively. "Enough IS Enough" is reminiscent of the words, "Do what you can with what you have right where you are." The Subtitle, "What's In Your S.H.O.E.?" is symbolic of the champ's famous quote, "It isn't the mountains ahead to climb that wears you out; it's the pebble in your shoe." Do you feel (i) Stuck, (ii) Moving at rapid speed but in the wrong direction, or (iii) moving in the right direction, but with a limp, because of the "pebble" in your shoe? Is there a pebble on the inside that keeps you from walking upright? Do you have to sit and take a moment to think about the Spirit, the Habits, the Point of view, and the Emotional Intelligence that goes into getting rid of that pebble? How will you acknowledge, and then make the changes necessary to shake the pebble from your S.H.O.E? In this book Dr. Charles provides us a road map to these questions. When asked what motivated him to pen this book, Dr. Charles says, without hesitation, "so that my long road can lead to your short cut."

Download or read book Life in a Shoe written by Norman Finn and published by . This book was released on 2016-03-30 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Life in a Shoe is three stories all in one. It's a memoir of Norman Finn's adventures around the world as well as a history of the shoe industry. It delves into the world of the individual entrepreneurs and corporate structures. These stories from the business and fashion worlds take place in different settings--from the mill buildings of New England to the hills of Tuscany, Brazil and the world of Taiwan, China. There are lessons to be learned by being spectator to the politics, and insights into the participants, situations, and the growth and scope of these events. The charismatic and marvelous people discussed in Life in a Shoe who no longer work among us bring back an era that will never return, one that was rich with talent, individuality, and resourcefulness. There is a rhythm to Life in a Shoe that lets you sit beside the participants and their events and become part of these times, at least for the moment. Life in a Shoe makes you laugh and wonder how all of this could have occurred to a man who led more than just an interesting life.
Download or read book On Brassard s Farm written by Daniel Hecht and published by Blackstone Publishing. This book was released on 2018-04-03 with total page 391 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a radical departure from her urban life, Ann Turner buys a piece of remote Vermont land and sets up a tent home in deep forest. She’s trying to escape an unending string of personal disasters in Boston; more, she desperately wants to leave behind a world she sees as increasingly defined by consumerism, hypocrisy, and division. As she writes in her journal, “There’s got to be a more honest, less divided way to live.” She soon learns she was mistaken in thinking a kindly Mother Earth would grant her wisdom and serenity in her new home. The forest confronts her with unanticipated dangers, aching loneliness, harsh weather, instinctive fears, and unsettling encounters with wild animals. It’s beautiful, yes, but life in the woods is never easy. When necessity requires her to start work as a farmhand, she quickly realizes that she held similarly childish illusions about small farms. Under the stern tutelage of Diz Brassard, the farm’s sixty-year-old matriarch, and the gentler guidance of Earnest Kelley, an Oneida Indian friend of the Brassards, she discovers what hard work really means. Ann faces her predicament with determination, but there’s a lot to learn—about the Brassard family, about dairy farming, and about herself. If she is to succeed in her new life, she must become as tough and resilient as the rural community she lives in. She must also learn to accept love—even if it arrives in the most unexpected forms. On Brassard’s Farm is a tale of personal struggle, sweeping transformation, and romantic love. Author Daniel Hecht tells of Ann Turner’s quest for a better life with unsparing honesty and gentle humor. Through its portrayal of the unrelenting labor and harsh pragmatism of farming, On Brassard’s Farm reveals the deep durability of rural life and offers a much-needed affirmation in a changing and uncertain world.

Book excerpt: NATIONAL BESTSELLER • Every year, Ceyala “Lala” Reyes' family—aunts, uncles, mothers, fathers, and Lala's six older brothers—packs up three cars and, in a wild ride, drive from Chicago to the Little Grandfather and Awful Grandmother's house in Mexico City for the summer. From the celebrated bestselling author of The House on Mango Street and winner of the 2019 PEN/Nabokov Award for Achievement in International Literature. Struggling to find a voice above the boom of her brothers and to understand her place on this side of the border and that, Lala is a shrewd observer of family life. But when she starts telling the Awful Grandmother's life story, seeking clues to how she got to be so awful, grandmother accuses Lala of exaggerating. Soon, a multigenerational family narrative turns into a whirlwind exploration of storytelling, lies, and life. Like the cherished rebozo, or shawl, that has been passed down through generations of Reyes women, Caramelo is alive with the vibrations of history, family, and love. From the winner of the 2019 PEN/Nabokov Award for Achievement in International Literature.
Download or read book Aspiration written by Agnes Callard and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018-03-01 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Becoming someone is a learning process; and what we learn is the new values around which, if we succeed, our lives will come to turn. Agents transform themselves in the process of, for example, becoming parents, embarking on careers, or acquiring a passion for music or politics. How can such activity be rational, if the reason for engaging in the relevant pursuit is only available to the person one will become? How is it psychologically possible to feel the attraction of a form of concern that is not yet one's own? How can the work done to arrive at the finish line be ascribed to one who doesn't (really) know what one is doing, or why one is doing it? In Aspiration, Agnes Callard asserts that these questions belong to the theory of aspiration. Aspirants are motivated by proleptic reasons, acknowledged defective versions of the reasons they expect to eventually grasp. The psychology of such a transformation is marked by intrinsic conflict between their old point of view on value and the one they are trying to acquire. They cannot adjudicate this conflict by deliberating or choosing or deciding-rather, they resolve it by working to see the world in a new way. This work has a teleological structure: by modeling oneself on the person he or she is trying to be, the aspirant brings that person into being. Because it is open to us to engage in an activity of self-creation, we are responsible for having become the kinds of people we are.
