Download or read book I Will Survive written by Gloria Gaynor and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 2014-03-11 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I Will Survive is the story of Gloria Gaynor, America's "Queen of Disco." It is the story of riches and fame, despair, and finally salvation. Her meteoric rise to stardom in the mid-1970s was nothing short of phenomenal, and hits poured forth that pushed her to the top of the charts, including "Honey Bee," "I Got You Under My Skin," "Never Can Say Goodbye," and the song that has immortalized her, "I Will Survive," which became a #1 international gold seller. With that song, Gloria heralded the international rise of disco that became synonymous with a way of life in the fast lane - the sweaty bodies at Studio 54, the lines of cocaine, the indescribable feeling that you could always be at the top of your game and never come down. But down she came after her early stardom, and problems followed in the wake, including the death of her mother, whose love had anchored the young singer, as well as constant battles with weight, drugs, and alcohol. While her fans always imagined her to be rich, her personal finances collapsed due to poor management; and while many envied her, she felt completely empty inside. In the early 1980s, sustained by her marriage to music publisher Linwood Simon, Gloria took three years off and reflected upon her life. She visited churches and revisited her mother's old Bible. Discovering the world of gospel, she made a commitment to Christ that sustains her to this day.

Download or read book Telling Our Stories written by Louis Bird and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2005-08-01 with total page 373 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the 1970s, Louis Bird, a distinguished Aboriginal storyteller and historian, has been recording the stories and memories of Omushkego (Swampy Cree) communities along western Hudson and James Bays. In nine chapters, he presents some of the most vivid legends and historical stories from his collection, casting new light on his people’s history, culture, and values. Working with the editors and other contributors to provide background and context for the stories, he illuminates their many levels of meaning and brings forward the value system and world-view that underlie their teachings. Students of Aboriginal culture, history, and literature will find that this is no ordinary book of stories compiled from a remote, disconnected voice, but rather a project in which the teller, deeply engaged in preserving his people's history, language, and values, is committed to bringing his listeners and readers as far along the road to understanding as he possibly can.

Download or read book The Forgotten First written by Keyshawn Johnson and published by Grand Central Publishing. This book was released on 2021-09-21 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The unknown story of the Black pioneers who collectively changed the face of the NFL in 1946. THE FORGOTTEN FIRST chronicles the lives of four incredible men, the racism they experienced as Black players entering a segregated sport, the burden of expectation they carried, and their many achievements, which would go on to affect football for generations to come. More than a year before Jackie Robinson broke the color barrier in Major League Baseball, there was another seismic moment in pro sports history. On March 21,1946, former UCLA star running back Kenny Washington—a teammate of Robinson's in college—signed a contract with the Los Angeles Rams. This ended one of the most shameful periods in NFL history, when African-American players were banned from league play. Washington would not be alone in serving as a pioneer for NFL integration. Just months after he joined the Rams, thanks to a concerted effort by influential Los Angeles political and civic leaders, the team signed Woody Strode, who played with both Washington and Robinson at UCLA in one of the most celebrated backfields in college sports history. And that same year, a little-known coach named Paul Brown of the fledgling Cleveland Browns signed running back Marion Motley and defensive lineman Bill Willis, thereby integrating a startup league that would eventually merge with the NFL. THE FORGOTTEN FIRST tells the story of one of the most significant cultural shifts in pro football history, as four men opened the door to opportunity and changed the sport forever.

In it, you will learn how to appear smart in less than half the time it takes to actually learn anything. You know those subtle tricks your coworkers are all guilty of? The constant nodding, pretend concentration, useless rhetorical questions? These tricks make them seem like they know what they’re doing when in fact they have no clue. This behavior is so ingrained, so subtle, and so often mistaken for true intelligence that identifying it, calling it out, or compiling it into an exhaustive digest has never been attempted. Until now. Complete with illustrated tips, examples, and scenarios, 100 Tricks gives you actionable ways to use words like “actionable,” in order to sound smart. Every type of meeting is covered, from general meetings where you stopped paying attention almost immediately, to one-on-one meetings you zoned out on, to impromptu meetings you were painfully subjected to at the last minute. It’s all here. Open this book to any page and find an easy-to-digest trick with an even easier-to-digest illustration, guiding you on: how to nail the big meeting by pacing and nodding most effective ways to listen to your coworkers while still completely ignoring them the key to making your presentations “interactive.” If you hadn’t noticed these behaviors before, you will see them now—from your colleagues, your managers, and soon yourself. Each trick is a mirror to the reality of what happens in meetings, told in the form of hilariously bad advice—advice that you might just want to take. But probably not. But maybe.

Download or read book 365 Days of Positive Affirmations written by Jenny Kellett and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-03-25 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "I can't do that" or "I am not able" - sound familiar? Too many of us are stuck in a negative cycle of thought - but you know what? You are great. You are able to achieve great things. Sometimes you just need to remind yourself of that. Positive affirmations have been used by psychologists since the 1920's to help boost the self-esteem of their patients. Research from Carnegie Mellon University conducted in 2013 provided the first evidence that self-affirmation can protect against the damaging effects of stress and anxiety. Millions of people have successfully used positive affirmations to aid in weight loss, depression, anxiety and self-esteem issues. Scientists believe that when positive affirmations are practiced regularly, they reinforce a chemical pathway in the brain, making the connection between two neurons stronger, and therefore more likely to conduct the same message again. In 365 Days of Positive Affirmations you will be introduced to the power of positive affirmations and experience the impact they can have on your life. Move through the book at your own pace as you discover which words and phrases resonate with you on a personal level. These then become your positive affirmations. Once you have those, use them on a daily basis; use them when doubt creeps into your mind; use them to remind yourself you are capable of achieving great things.

Book excerpt: Improve your life immediately and continually with this practical and transformative prompt and guide written by American artist and entrepreneur, KIRU. So often we are told to 'be positive', to 'think good thoughts' or 'say nice things.' These are inherently good statements and ideas, and they're so well known across the world that it's safe to say most people already understand that it is generally important to be positive, grateful, and kind. Herein lies the struggle: Most people believe that they are capable of growing and improving as an individual, yet they struggle to connect with the actual practice of becoming a better person. They search forever to find the tools to help them grow and instead get lost in a raging sea of cute sayings, nice tries and other abstract happiness material. Here comes the good news. The struggle stops here. The Book of Positive Affirmations is the definitive guide for unleashing the power of positive affirmations in your daily life. Organized neatly into three categories of forty affirmations each, this book will lead and support you day by day with affirmations designed to raise awareness on how to effectively love yourself, know yourself and grow yourself. Positive affirmations are unique from listed quotes and random sayings. They are so much more than a simple feel good phrase. When you make the decision to affirm the power of positivity in your life, you are literally maximizing your awareness of the good and minimizing your focus on that which is not. Decades of research has shown us that when we increase our exposure to positive experiences, our minds open up to new possibilities that we otherwise would not have seen or believed. Putting these affirmations into an order that allows you to ingest and emit positivity day after day is more than an effort to save your life, it's an opportunity to continually improve it.This simplified version includes a guided day count sans illustrations.
