Download or read book It s Not Easy Bein Me written by Rodney Dangerfield and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2009-08-11 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An American comic icon tells the story of his second–act rise from obscurity to multimedia stardom. "When I was a kid," writes Rodney Dangerfield, "I worked tough places in show business––places like Fonzo's Knuckle Room. Or Aldo's, formerly Vito's, formerly Nunzio's. That was a tough joint. I looked at the menu. They had broken leg of lamb." For once, one of America's most beloved comic icons isn't kidding. Dangerfield has seen every aspect of the entertainment industry: the rough–and–tumble nightclubs, the backstage gag–writing sessions, the drugs, the hookers, the lousy day jobs – and the red–carpet star treatment. As he traces his route from a poor childhood on Long Island to his enshrinement as a comedy legend, he takes readers on a roller–coaster ride through a life that has been alternately touching, sordid, funny, raunchy, and uplifting – equal parts "Little Orphan Annie" and "Caligula." And unlike most celebrity autobiographers, he seems to have no qualms about delivering the unfiltered whole story, warts and all. Dangerfield's personal story is also a rollicking show business tale, full of marquee name–droppings (Adam Sandler, Sam Kinison, Jim Carrey, Johnny Carson, Jerry Seinfeld) and good stories about same. Defying the old saws about the fleeting nature of fame and the dearth of second acts in American life, Dangerfield transformed himself from a debt–ridden aluminium–siding salesman named Jack Roy to a multimedia superstar – and stayed an icon for decades. His catchphrase – "I get no respect" – has entered the lexicon, and he remains a visible cultural presence and perennial talk–show guest. Dangerfield's hilarious and inspiring musings should thrill comedy fans and pop–culture watchers, and his second–act comeback will strike a chord with readers of all stripes. Maybe he'll even get some respect.

Download or read book No Wealth No Respect And No Money No Honey written by Sukhendra Kumar Pandey and published by Sukhendra Kumar Pandey. This book was released on with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: About Book No Wealth No Respect And No Money No Honey In today's changing environment, there has been a lot of change in the mentality of the people, where there is worship of wealth only and there is no respect of human being. People have become so engrossed in their wealth that there are no emotions for human beings. The person who has the money, people gives respect, while the poor who do not have the money, they understand two cowry and keep making fun of him every time. while money is just a resource Is in form which helps to fulfill the requirements of everyday but money not only everything There is such a place in the earth where people are living very happy, depending on the nature without any money, such as in some African countries, tribal society which is cut off from modern society, in the same way, the sentinel island located in Andaman Nicobar island in India. In the Sentinel Island, ancient tribal groups live for thousands of years, they probably do not even know about the name of which bird of money But today is the period of competition in modern human society where it went only remained important as money has no value to Humans That's why I am writing this book compulsively Because who does not have wealth, then no child, wife, and family members helps And all friends also begin to get away and that person is treated very badly. That is why many people commit suicide due to lack of money because society sees them with a downward look that the life of that person becomes so bitter. Life of that person becomes so congested that living in society becomes difficult. many people leave their homes and go away elsewhere, and some become a monk-ascetic, and if they do not do anything they take suicidal steps, then I would like to say to them that life is the name of struggle and the struggle of man continues from birth to death, hence suicide Before taking action, think that no work is small or big, it should be just the beginning and the habit of the peoples is to taunt others. That is why I want to tell from that society Do not comparison the people with wealth, and today we are forgetting this. I am not against money or money making, nor against those people who work hard and earn money and those people who want to earn money or are earning money or who is a rich person, but I am against the thinking of those people who give importance to wealth only, do not give importance to anyone other than wealth. Because of this thinking, a song of old film is “neither father nor brother is big only money is big”, Muni Sri Tarun Sagar ji has said in one of his discourses that the person who keeps doing "wealth and wealth" “money and money” throughout life also gets a "death" in the newspaper's condolence message. That's why I am saying again and again that pay attention to human beings with money as money keeps coming, but once the person goes away then never come back only his memories remain. I am not a writer but I am writing this book after seeing my own experiences and experiences of others, and in relation to money, whatever my thoughts are expressing to you in front of everyone, I am also a human being and can also be a mistake by me, so for the mistakes that will be made in the book writing, it is a request for forgiveness and you express gratitude To everyone.

Download or read book Love and Respect in the Family written by Dr. Emerson Eggerichs and published by Thomas Nelson. This book was released on 2013-11-12 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The secret to parenting success is out! Children need love, parents need respect. It's as simple and complex as that. Bestselling author Dr. Emerson Eggerichs has studied family dynamics for more than 30 years, earning a Ph.D. in Child and Family Ecology. As a senior pastor for nearly two decades, he builds on a foundation of strong biblical principles, walking the reader through an entirely new way to approach the family dynamic. When frustrated with an unresponsive child, a parent doesn’t declare, “You don’t love me.” Instead, the parent asserts, “You are being disrespectful right now.” A parent needs to feel respected, especially during conflicts. When upset a child does not whine, “You don’t respect me.” Instead, a child pouts, “You don’t love me.” A child needs to feel loved, especially during disputes. But here’s the rub: An unloved child or teen negatively reacts in a way that feels disrespectful to a parent. A disrespected parent negatively reacts in a way that feels unloving to the child. This dynamic gives birth to the FAMILY CRAZY CYCLE. This book teaches you to: See love and respect as basic family needs Stop the Family Crazy Cycle of conflict Parent in six biblical ways that energize your children Discipline defiance and overlook childishness Be the mature one since parenting is for adults only Become a loving parent in God's eyes, regardless of a child's response Based on what the Bible says about parenting, this book focuses on achieving healthy family dynamics. Dr. Eggerichs offers unprecedented transparency from his wife and three adult children, who share wisdom gained from the good, the bad, and the ugly of their family life. It's all here in this eye-opening exploration of the biblical principles on parenting that can help make families function as God intended.

Download or read book Respect Trumps Harmony written by Rachael Robertson and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2020-04-06 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Develop a high-performing team based on a culture where respect trumps harmony As teams become more diverse, we won’t always see eye to eye. We won’t agree on everything, and we may not even like each other. In order to achieve results, we need to have robust, candid and constructive discussions. Respect Trumps Harmony offers a proven approach to navigating the difficulties faced in teams and workplaces today. To build collaboration; strengthen innovation; and manage safety, risk and well-being, it’s critical that there is a foundation of respect, not harmony. Developed during author Rachael Robertson’s time leading one of the toughest workplaces on the planet—Davis Station, Antarctica—and further informed by over 15 years of research, case studies and feedback, Robertson suggests that harmony in the workplace is overrated, and can even be dangerous, and that above all else, respect is the key ingredient of a high-performance culture. A focus on respect over harmony improves everything from morale to productivity. Respect Trumps Harmony integrates the three pillars at the core of Robertson’s leadership practice: No triangles, The bacon wars, and Lead without a title, enabling you to: • Manage conflict and put an end to gossip • Improve accountability and the quality of feedback, • Recognise and manage dysfunctional behaviour • Build collaboration to strengthen innovation • Identify and manage risk • Inspire trust and confidence by displaying personal leadership, and encourage others to do the same irrespective of their title Respect Trumps Harmony is a contemporary leadership handbook, essential for all modern leaders and those who wish to transform the culture within their own team.

Download or read book The Second Person Standpoint written by Stephen Darwall and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2009-09-30 with total page 363 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why should we avoid doing moral wrong? The inability of philosophy to answer this question in a compelling manner—along with the moral skepticism and ethical confusion that ensue—result, Stephen Darwall argues, from our failure to appreciate the essentially interpersonal character of moral obligation. After showing how attempts to vindicate morality have tended to change the subject—falling back on non-moral values or practical, first-person considerations—Darwall elaborates the interpersonal nature of moral obligations: their inherent link to our responsibilities to one another as members of the moral community. As Darwall defines it, the concept of moral obligation has an irreducibly second-person aspect; it presupposes our authority to make claims and demands on one another. And so too do many other central notions, including those of rights, the dignity of and respect for persons, and the very concept of person itself. The result is nothing less than a fundamental reorientation of moral theory that enables it at last to account for morality’s supreme authority—an account that Darwall carries from the realm of theory to the practical world of second-person attitudes, emotions, and actions.
