Download or read book Facing the Wind Memories and Dreams written by Robert A. (Bob) Jensen and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2023-02-21 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This compelling memoir was written by Robert Alastair Jensen. Robert traces his ancestral record back to the early 1700s. He describes the journeys of the generations before him as they make the bold, daring move from Norway and Denmark across the ocean to begin homesteading in North America. He chronicles his early life growing up in rural Saskatchewan during the 1940s, his career as a teacher, his experiences with fatherhood and family life, his retirement years, and his eventual struggles with cancer. Weaving in the significant events of the times, including the Spanish Flu, the Depression, and World War Two, Jensen creates a rich backdrop for his family history while offering wisdom gleaned from generations of hardworking ancestors. Along the way, he reveals his love of literature and history as he references his favourite authors, their works and their impact on his journey through life. He challenges himself with many questions all the while referencing the struggles of facing the wind. Initially, he asks himself the question, "When will I be done?" His answer was "When I get to the last page." In an ironic but peaceful sense, the correct answer would have been, "The day I pass." He leaves this treasured gift for his entire family, his friends and the generations to follow.

This book was released on 2005-12-12 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In November, 2001, I was sued, along with almost everyone else connected with the film version of my novel K-PAX, for plagiarizing an Argentinean movie called Man Facing Southeast (the suit was later dismissed). At about the same time, dozens of letters arrived from fans asking where the ideas for the book/film originated.

The resulting memoir includes excerpts from unpublished work, and ends with a chapter of advice for other would-be novelists.
Download or read book Mind and Matter written by John Urschel and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2020-05-12 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A New York Times bestseller John Urschel, mathematician and former offensive lineman for the Baltimore Ravens, tells the story of a life balanced between two passions For John Urschel, what began as an insatiable appetite for puzzles as a child developed into mastery of the elegant systems and rules of mathematics. By the time he was thirteen, Urschel was auditing a college-level calculus course. But when he joined his high school football team, a new interest began to eclipse the thrill he felt in the classroom. Football challenged Urschel in an entirely different way, and he became addicted to the physical contact of the sport. After he accepted a scholarship to play at Penn State, his love of math was rekindled. As a Nittany Lion, he refused to sacrifice one passion for the other. Against the odds, Urschel found a way to manage his double life as a scholar and an athlete. While he was an offensive lineman for the Baltimore Ravens, he simultaneously pursued his PhD in mathematics at MIT. Weaving together two separate narratives, Urschel relives for us the most pivotal moments of his bifurcated life. He explains why, after Penn State was sanctioned for the acts of former coach Jerry Sandusky, he declined offers from prestigious universities and refused to abandon his team. He describes his parents’ different influences and their profound effect on him, and he opens up about the correlation between football and CTE and the risks he took for the game he loves. Equally at home discussing Georg Cantor’s work on infinities and Bill Belichick’s playbook, Urschel reveals how each challenge—whether on the field or in the classroom—has brought him closer to understanding the two different halves of his own life, and how reason and emotion, the mind and the body, are always working together. “So often, people want to divide the world into two,” he observes. “Matter and energy. Wave and particle. Athlete and mathematician. Why can’t something (or someone) be both?”

Download or read book 100 Great Mindset Changing Ideas written by Simon Maier and published by Marshall Cavendish International Asia Pte Ltd. This book was released on 2018-03-15 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A mindset is a fixed mental attitude that predetermines a person’s responses to (and interpretations of) situations. Essentially, our mindset determines our behaviour. Developing the best mindset is the way you can learn something new, adopt new information, alter your beliefs and act accordingly. It’s important to adjust our mindsets to survive and thrive in the real world. Experts agree that our mindset is not a result of nature or nurture, genes or environment. There’s a constant give and take between each: the physical and the mental. As eminent American neuroscientist Gilbert Gottlieb puts it, not only do genes and environment cooperate as we develop, but genes actually require input from the environment to work properly. You have the means to shift your mindset to create the life or attitude that you want and need. A fixed mindset will cloud your judgment. You’ll avoid challenges, you’ll give up when things aren’t going right and you’ll think that you’re not good enough. It’s the belief that you should be terrific instantly and that you can’t improve or get better by effort. But, change is possible. It isn’t easy – but it’s not hugely hard either. The first step is to start and be aware of how your mindset is holding you back.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most traditional style guides are mere reference books containing countless tedious rules and reminders about SPUG: spelling, punctuation, usage, and grammar. The Ithaca Manual of Style is not about the fanatic obsession with correctness. In a lively style, the Ithaca Manual illuminates how professional writers write with precision, power, energy, and passion. From the book: "What is style? ... It is more, vastly more, than the sum of the diction (the choice and use of words), the syntax (the arrangement of words in phrases and sentences), and the careful crafting of sentences to transmit an idea or evoke a feeling. Style, in great writing, the sincerest expression of the author's inmost self." This expanded second edition boasts 45 chapters and 450 pages! This ebook in the EPUB format contains all the same information as the 450-page paperback -- at half the price! 100% Made with NI Natural Intelligence
