Download or read book Young Wise and Kick S written by Phillip Ramphisa and published by First Edition Design Pub.. This book was released on 2015-01-12 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Being a young adult is a critical stage of your life. It can affect your happiness in your thirties and forties, and right up to the final stages of your life. The most important decisions, such as which career to pursue, obtaining university qualifications, and meeting your life partner, occurs at this stage of your life. I have spent eight years of my life being obsessed about what makes young people successful and happy. I have also read many books to try and figure this out. This book is a compilation of answers in the form of the tools that I have used to change my life as a rural boy living in poor conditions. I wrote this book for young adults who want to change their lives from being ordinary to being extraordinary. It will give you the tools that you need to motivate yourself, to take action and pursue your dreams. Everyone who has achieved success has their own unique individuality that enables them to rise above the crowd and differentiate themselves. It is therefore important for you to understand how you can use your unique individuality to shine; and to create something unique to share with the world that only you can give. For this reason, Part I of the book is dedicated to a better understanding of yourself and using your individuality to become, what I call, Kick-S. Everyone who is or has been successful has had people along their journey that provided support, guidance, and assistance. I refer to these people as your A-Team. In order for you to be successful, it is important to have the ability to influence your A-Team. I have therefore provided you with tools in Part I of the book which you can utilize to influence the people who will be key in your journey to success, so that they are willing to support you on your journey. First survive, then thrive!! They say you should not judge a person until you have walked a mile in their shoes. I believe this with all my heart. I speak to young adults from all backgrounds: rich, and poor, black and white. Many of these young adults face immense challenges. Drug addiction. Teenage pregnancies. Alcohol abuse. Absent parents. Mental illness. Bullying. Crime. Poverty. Career problems. Relationship problems. Depression. Today, it is not easy being a young adult. I cannot judge these young people. Only they can truly understand what they are living, their situations and the way they deal with them. I cannot. I have not lived their lives. I have not walked a mile in their shoes. Therefore, I do not pretend to know everything. I do not give youngsters all the answers to all their problems. What I talk about are my own experiences while growing up: my problems, my struggles to overcome them, and the rewards that awaited me when I succeeded. Moreover, I talk about what I have learnt along the way. That success and strength is within each one of us. We just need to know how to harness it, and how to use it to change our lives and our world. Through my story, I show young adults that at the end of those long, hard miles, there can be happiness, fulfilment, and even riches. First, however, they have to survive.

Download or read book A Season with Verona written by Tim Parks and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2012-01-23 with total page 452 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is Italy a united country, or a loose affiliation of warring states? Is Italian football (which we Americans know as “soccer”) a sport, or an ill-disguised protraction of ancient enmities? After twenty years in the bel paese, Tim Parks goes on the road to follow the fortunes of his hometown soccer club, Hellas Verona, to pay a different kind of visit to some of the world’s most beautiful cities, and to get a fresh take on the conundrum that is national character. From Udine to Catania, from the San Siro to the Olimpico, traveling with the raucous and unruly Verona fans—whose conduct is a cross between that of asylum inmates and the Keystone Kops—Tim Parks offers his highly personal account of one man’s relationship with a country, its people, and its national sport. The clubs are struggling, as always, to keep their heads above water in Series A. The fans, as always, are accused of vulgarity, racism, and violence. It’s an election year and politics encroaches. The police are ambiguous, the journeys exhausting, the referees unforgivable, the anecdotes hilarious. And behind it all is the growing intuition that in a world stripped of idealism and bereft of religion, soccer offers a new and fiercely ironic way of forming community and engaging with the sacred.
Download or read book The Young Person s Guide to Wisdom written by Jeff Claiborne and published by Xulon Press. This book was released on 2010-02 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Colleges and Universities do not offer courses or degrees in wisdom and Governments do not have departments of wisdom to guide the actions and decisions of presidents and government officials. Due to a lack of wisdom, Federal, State and Local governments have pushed many nations to the brink of moral and financial bankruptcy. A heavy dependence upon academia is not sufficient for them to make wise decisions. In our society many marriages fail and families suffer because they lack wisdom. Unwise financial decisions in our government and among individual citizens negatively affect many in our society. There are many pitfalls in society and living life is like walking through a minefield of life changing and difficult decisions. The Young Person's Guide to wisdom fills the void of wisdom that exists in academia, our families and our government. Wisdom is presented in the context of knowing God's will, being successful, being proactive in your education, finances, relationships, redemption and our understanding of God and his Word. It is an excellent resource for new Christians and Christian Parents and their children to build a wise foundation in Christ. It is a straight forward Biblical Guide to understanding the God of the Bible and God's instructions to us concerning Wisdom. Jeff Claiborne is a Christian author who has twenty years of experience in law enforcement. Jeff began writing about scripture after thirty five years of intensely studying the Bible. Jeff has dedicated his life to studying the scriptures and teaching others and has been married to his wife Marie for 26 years and is a grandparent having successfully raised three children.

Download or read book The Wit and Wisdom of Pinelog written by Paul G. "Jerry" Snyder and published by Dorrance Publishing. This book was released on 2023-01-16 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Wit and Wisdom of Pinelog By: Paul G. “Jerry” Snyder Pinelog is the imaginative alter ego of Paul G. “Jerry” Snyder. Many of the stories within The Wit and Wisdom of Pinelog are sort of true. At least, as Pinelog recalls. Ray is Ray Bolick. A neighbor up the road who is intolerant, opinionated, bullheaded, stubborn, downright crass, and a competitive old jock just like Pinelog. The two are good friends. Another Ray is Pinelog’s brother-in-law, Ray Denmark. Many of these could have been addressed to him as well. Both Rays are now hopefully holding a place open for Pinelog behind those pearly gates. The oft maligned character, Billy Bob, is one William Robert Carr, also known as Cool Breeze. He was an immediate friend the day he and Pinelog met. His wit and charm fell into a category of left space where definitions are not necessary. The artwork within the book is by Pinelog’s friend and award-winning artist, Jim Bennet. Jim's greatly discovered talent began while he was recovering from prostate cancer. His painting of 9/11 was accepted by the White House and hung on the wall outside the West Wing. The Pinelog Princess is Pinelog’s daughter, Kathy. She is Pinelog’s proofreader and computer technical advisor. Funny though, she doesn't have any of the same names for it that Pinelog does.
