Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When I decided to stop my education with a bachelor’s degree, Prof. Tanuku said, “These are not problems at all. You will be in real trouble if you stop your education now.” He agreed to pay the expenses to complete my post-graduation. We need hooks to hold when life hits us harder. I held on to his advice, completed the MSc and have been working since 2005. One evening in August 2010, I was walking home and thinking about how to end my life. Then, I remembered my dad’s caution: “Do not make Srinivas Sir think twice when he wants to help another student in the future as he did to you today.” So, I decided to face my failures and become successful. In March 2019, my dad’s words questioned all the success I had been thinking about. As a result, I lost all my emotional hooks and was vulnerable. Name it to tame it – a fundamental in emotional coaching. Instead, I chose gratitude to find my pillars to stand firmly and victorious again. The book presents the reviewed events from the earliest memories of my life to date while practising 100 days of gratitude. In the beginning, it seemed complicated. Now, 100 days are not sufficient to thank people in my life. If you are feeling low, lost and lonely, this book will help you find your emotional support within and allows you to stay strong.

Download or read book Becoming Agile written by Ahmed Sidky and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2009-04-30 with total page 571 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many books discuss Agile from a theoretical or academic perspective. Becoming Agile takes a different approach and focuses on explaining Agile from a case-study perspective. Agile principles are discussed, explained, and then demonstrated in the context of a case study that flows throughout the book. The case study is based on a mixture of the author's real-world experiences. Becoming Agile also focuses on the importance of adapting Agile principles to the realities of your environment. In the early days of Agile, there was a general belief that Agile had to be used in all phases of a project, and that it had to be used in its purest form. Over the last few years, reputable Agile authorities have begun questioning this belief: We're finding that the best deployments of Agile are customized to the realities of a given company. Becoming Agile discusses the cultural realities of deploying Agile and how to deal with the needs of executives, managers, and the development team during migration. The author discusses employee motivation and establishing incentives that reward support of Agile techniques. Purchase of the print book comes with an offer of a free PDF, ePub, and Kindle eBook from Manning. Also available is all code from the book. Praise for Becoming Agile... "This is much more than just a book about Agile. This is a roadmap. A very detailed roadmap that takes you from the initial "is Agile right for me?" stage through completion and delivery of your pilot project and beyond." -Charlie Griefer, Senior Software Engineer, Amcom Technology "...a must read for those of us who have come from years of waterfall and attempts at changes to "traditional" methodologies or processes... clear, concise and has plenty of example scenarios that many individuals and corporations would identify with." -Jamie Phillips, Senior Software Engineer, Picis Inc "This book is quite unique. It is written in a form of a 5-day training course. I am usually not a fan of such a writing style, but I think that Becoming Agile is an exception. It's about a software process and as such requires a lot of case studies, group exercises (or at least what a book format allows), and therefore the training course style is perfect to facilitate learning." -Vladimir Pasman, Cocoacast.com "Becoming Agile in an Imperfect World offers a different and useful look at Agile methods. Reminding us that becoming agile is more of a mindset adjustment than a process change, Sidky and Smith use a case study to share their insights and tools throughout the book, including the unique Sidky Agile Measurement Index (SAMI)." -Sanjiv Augustine, President, LitheSpeed LLC and author of Managing Agile Projects "The authors emphasise that the aim should be to create a customised agile development process that is tailored to the needs of the organisation...Instead of aiming for "agile perfection", one should aim at reaching the right level of agility for one's organisation. Excellent advice!" -Kailash Awati, Eight to Late "The book totally inspired me. A lot of my readings on Agile from back in the day were very theoretical and high level at the same time. But Becoming Agile helps take you to the next level by going beyond the theory and into the nitty gritty practicality of employing the Agile approach. So it was very energizing having the game plan laid out in front of you, as well as the hurdles you'll encounter and how to overcome them." -Tariq Ahmed, author of Flex 3 in Action

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To Bless Our Callings: Prayers, Poems, and Hymns to Celebrate Vocation is an ecumenical collection that supports the callings of everyone within the Christian community. This valuable resource of over two hundred prayers, blessings, poems, and sacred songs from diverse Christian traditions speaks to the heart of vocation's richness. -Part I (Ages and Stages) gathers prayers for children, teens, young adults, and adults in mid-life, later, and older adulthood. -Part II (Work and Profession) offers blessings for traditional professions and overlooked occupations--from nurses to truck drivers, janitors to lawyers, salespeople to stay-at-home parents. -Part III (A Year of Blessing) highlights times to preach and pray about vocation throughout the church year and cultural calendar. Drawing from research with hundreds of Christians in congregations across the country about their sense of God's call in their lives, the book fills the gap between Christianity's rich theologies of vocation and people's pastoral needs in living out their callings. To Bless Our Callings is a perfect resource for catechists, musicians, worship leaders, spiritual directors, retreat leaders, campus ministers, and chaplains.

Book excerpt: Close friends Medini, Riddhi, and Varun work as student interns for a leading Indian MNC under a five-year scholarship program. During their last year of internship, they end up joining the same project which is led by Garima Kapoor, a shrewd, trailblazing professional. As time passes by, her initial attempts, to pass off as a career-oriented woman who is a victim of office gossip, are nullified when she reveals her biased views and irrational behaviour towards the interns. After the initial shock of Garima’s deplorable behaviour has worn off, Medini and her friends learn to navigate through their stressful internship with the guidance of some trustworthy colleagues. Medini’s journey is relatable; she’s young, hardworking, has friends, and lives on her own in a large city throbbing with opportunities. She struggles with the challenges thrown at her and draws strength from Agastya, a colleague she starts dating. As Medini and her friends wander through the stress of their professional lives, they often wonder if life would get easier or be just as challenging? Would it afford them time for their friends and family or would they remain a slave to their work just like Garima? Sacrifices are to be made and decisions can be hard. Will Medini rise to the challenges or will she cave in?
