Download or read book Beyond written by John Galsworthy and published by 谷月社. This book was released on 2016-01-12 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I At the door of St. George's registry office, Charles Clare Winton strolled forward in the wake of the taxi-cab that was bearing his daughter away with"the fiddler fellow" she had married. His sense of decorum forbade his walking with Nurse Betty—the only other witness of the wedding. A stout woman in a highly emotional condition would have been an incongruous companion to his slim, upright figure, moving with just that unexaggerated swing and balance becoming to a lancer of the old school, even if he has been on the retired list for sixteen years. Poor Betty! He thought of her with irritated sympathy—she need not have given way to tears on the door-step. She might well feel lost now Gyp was gone, but not so lost as himself! His pale-gloved hand—the one real hand he had, for his right hand had been amputated at the wrist—twisted vexedly at the small, grizzling moustache lifting itself from the corners of his firm lips. On this grey February day he wore no overcoat; faithful to the absolute, almost shamefaced quietness of that wedding, he had not even donned black coat and silk hat, but wore a blue suit and a hard black felt. The instinct of a soldier and hunting man to exhibit no sign whatever of emotion did not desert him this dark day of his life; but his grey-hazel eyes kept contracting, staring fiercely, contracting again; and, at moments, as if overpowered by some deep feeling, they darkened and seemed to draw back in his head. His face was narrow and weathered and thin-cheeked, with a clean-cut jaw, small ears, hair darker than the moustache, but touched at the side wings with grey—the face of a man of action, self-reliant, resourceful. And his bearing was that of one who has always been a bit of a dandy, and paid attention to "form," yet been conscious sometimes that there were things beyond. A man, who, preserving all the precision of a type, yet had in him a streak of something that was not typical. Such often have tragedy in their pasts.

Download or read book Finding My Power of Want written by Tony Hebert and published by Tony Hebert. This book was released on 2024-04-01 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The instinct to “want” is present from the start of life, as we all yearn for our first nourishment at birth. “Want” possesses an unquenchable appetite that relentlessly drives us towards the satisfying flavour of success. The insatiable desire for success is an aggressive force that compels us to pursue our dreams relentlessly. Our wants in our life keeps pushing us forward, shaping our actions, goals and feeding our hunger for success. The power of want for family, happiness, productivity, genuine friendships, good fortune, good health, spiritual support, self-confidence, or self-care is inherent in human behaviour. “Finding My Power of Want” by Tony J. Hebert examines how self-awareness, hard work, preparedness, and community support contribute to achieving one’s life goals. Even in the face of doubt and uncertainty, self-awareness serves as our guiding compass to stay on track. The concept of wealth accumulation is not heavily tied to want. Wanting good friends, a loving family, a successful career, and genuine happiness all play a role in one’s success in life. Hebert’s autobiography explores his life journey of discovering the power of want and how it contributed to his career and retirement success. Furthermore, he skillfully tells the story of his personal relationships beginning at age 8 that sparked this ability, offering guidance on how readers can harness their self-awareness to pursue their dreams and goals. The book further explores the power of community and personal ambition, as well as the heartbreaking emptiness that comes when your support system falls apart. Hebert’s book is dedicated to all those who made a positive impact on his life, such as coaches, cheerleaders, peers, family, mentors, neighbours, health and church leaders, and the countless volunteers who joined him in bettering their community. He names hundreds of them. “Finding My Power of Want” is an innovative study of human behaviour, using his personal experiences as a map to highlight its significance. This is a must-read for those who want to develop self-awareness and harness their personal power to achieve both their personal and community goals.

Download or read book Navigating the Postmodern Condition written by Wade A. Tillett and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-02-21 with total page 121 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing on poststructuralist frameworks, this book examines the way to a radical acceptance of daily discontinuities and difference as it allows us to embrace life in the postmodern world. With each chapter exploring the human relationship with a disjunction in daily life, such as sleeping, forgetting, and multitasking, the author examines overlooked aspects of daily living as fresh data from which to analyze our condition. A phenomenological study of postmodern life, the book provides anecdotes of what it is like to live through these gaps and theorizes how we use these gaps. Using an arts-based methodology, the author also allows the work to mirror the discontinuities which it describes, interrupting the assumption of our lives as continuous and unitary in both form and content. Addressing the vast jumble of contradictions that is our daily experience in this contemporary world, it offers explanation through theory and anecdote and illustrates the path toward radical acceptance, which allows us to see ourselves as beautifully composed of fractures, gaps, and overflow. It will appeal to scholars, researchers, and postgraduate students with interests in poststructuralism, curriculum theory, and art-based research methods.

Book excerpt: Jimmy Lee Hickam grew up along Red Dog Road, a dead-end strip of gravel and mud buried deep in the bowels of Appalachian Ohio. It is the poorest road, in the poorest county, in the poorest region of the state. To make things worse, the name Hickam is synonymous with trouble. Jimmy Lee hails from a heathen mix of thieves, moonshiners, drunkards, and general anti-socials that for decades have clung to both the hardscrabble hills and the iron bars of every jail cell in the region. This life, Jimmy Lee believes, is his destiny, someday working with his drunkard father at the sawmill, or sitting next to his arsonist brother in the penitentiary. There aren’t many options if your last name is Hickam. An inspiring coach and Jimmy Lee's ability to play football are the only things motivating him to return for his junior year of high school—until his visionary English teacher cuts him a break and preserves his eligibility for the coming football season. To thank her, Jimmy Lee writes a winning essay in the high school writing contest. When irate parents and the baffled administration claim he has cheated, his teacher is inspired to take his writing talent as far as it can go, showing him the path out of the hills of Appalachia. Terrific characterizations, surprising revelations, gut-wrenching past betrayals, and an unforgettable cast of characters born of the dusty, worn-out landscape of southeastern Ohio make The Essay a powerful, evocative, and incredibly moving novel.
