Download or read book The Quote Verifier written by Ralph Keyes and published by St. Martin's Griffin. This book was released on 2007-04-01 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our language is full of hundreds of quotations that are often cited but seldom confirmed. Ralph Keyes's The Quote Verifier considers not only classic misquotes such as "Nice guys finish last," and "Play it again, Sam," but more surprising ones such as "Ain't I a woman?" and "Golf is a good walk spoiled," as well as the origins of popular sayings such as "The opera ain't over till the fat lady sings," "No one washes a rented car," and "Make my day." Keyes's in-depth research routinely confounds widespread assumptions about who said what, where, and when. Organized in easy-to-access dictionary form, The Quote Verifier also contains special sections highlighting commonly misquoted people and genres, such as Yogi Berra and Oscar Wilde, famous last words, and misremembered movie lines. An invaluable resource for not just those with a professional need to quote accurately, but anyone at all who is interested in the roots of words and phrases, The Quote Verifier is not only a fascinating piece of literary sleuthing, but also a great read.

Download or read book To Seek a Newer World written by JR ROBERT F. SLOAN KENNEDY (SAM.) and published by . This book was released on 2017-05-06 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These essays by Robert F. Kennedy, which grew out of speeches, travel and his experience as Attorney General and a United States Senator, pose a simple question for America and consequently for the free world, in the 60s and 70s: Are you willing to dare? Today's challenges are awesome in scope and baffling in complexity. A military coup in Brazil may effect the entire hemisphere and endanger the Alliance for Progress. Riots and decay in the American cities pose the dangers of war in the streets, and a permanent alienation of black and white America. Vietnam raises the possibility of recurrent draining conflict, with a huge and unknown China beyond. And overall loom the new weapons of war, threatening at every moment to destroy all they were designed to defend. But for all the problems, says the author, our fortunes need not and cannot be surrendered to an inscrutable fate. The question posed is not to America's resources, not to their ability, but to their commitment and character. This is the question Robert Kennedy repeatedly addresses in To Seek a Newer World. As a major architect of positions and policies at home and abroad since 1961, he is candid in assessing his countries shortcomings and mistakes. Yet his call for a new ordering of national priorities is a hopeful one - to match American heritage and power with a new effort and will - to seek a newer world for the United States and for the community of man.

Download or read book Stack the Logs written by Frank F. Lunn and published by Kahuna Business Group. This book was released on 2004-02 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Facing adversity is a part of life. It is up to those challenged as to how these obstacles will impact their lives. In this inspiring new book, Stack the Logs! Building a Success Framework to Reach Your Dreams, Frank F. Lunn describes how his relationship with his late father and his young son's devastating diagnosis of leukemia led to a new formula for success based on a tried and true philosophy. The result is a remarkable lesson on how we can get the most out of life. Lunn, who has a successful entrepreneurial background, engages you from the very first pages. He describes an experience with his father, which provided the foundation for the book, and details his own son's frightening fight against cancer. Lunn tells of a simple note in a birthday card from his father about how "stacking the logs" one at a time -- making life choices, one by one -- was the only route to success and how it suddenly became clear this simplistic idea was truly profound. Frank F. Lunn was living a normal busy life when he received a phone call that stopped time: His eight-year-old son had just been diagnosed with leukemia. The next six months were a struggle for the entire Lunn family, as they battled with Frankie against a cancer of the blood and bone marrow, a cancer very similar to what ironically had defeated Lunn's father four years earlier. At the time of his son's illness, the premise for this book was still in its infancy. It is based on his father's homespun advice to "stack the logs," one decision and choice stacked on top of another, until success is achieved.

To complete this journey successfully, it is imperative to understand and utilize the principles of life.

In our schools and colleges, we study different subjects, but ironically, no school teaches us about life. It is essential to understand who we are and what are we here for. An awareness of our relationship with self and our world can help us to understand which forces of nature work for and against us and how we can use them to our advantage. Written by Mohit Tomar, a leadership trainer, When Journey Becomes the Goal provides a clear understanding of the fundamentals of life and how personal leadership can enable us to live on a higher plane.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Buy a new version of this textbook and receive access to the Connected eBook on Casebook Connect, including lifetime access to the online ebook with highlight, annotation, and search capabilities. Access also includes an outline tool and other helpful resources. Connected eBooks provide what you need most to be successful in your law school classes. In Fundamentals of Lawyer Leadership: A Skills Guide to Professional Identity Formation, we explore the aspects of leadership and professional identity formation that take root and begin to grow while students are in law school and throughout their lifelong journey as practicing attorneys and professionals. We like to describe professional identity and its formation as the process of becoming a complete lawyer; however, honing the skill sets of a complete lawyer takes time and study. Just as developing legal skills is a life-long endeavor, growing as a leader is a process that evolves over a lifetime. To become whole, healthy, skilled professionals, it is imperative that lawyers engage in a process of lifelong learning. That journey begins in law school, where professors help guide students not only in the formation of their professional identities, but also to develop as effective, thoughtful leaders. This process is vital, not merely as an ABA requirement, but to ensure the future of the profession. For students to develop as both professionals and leaders requires a personal, practical, and reflective approach to the issues. This ownership of continuous professional growth toward excellence, grounded in a service-oriented approach is a cornerstone of preparedness for leadership, and therefore, development as a lawyer. This textbook begins with professional identity formation and foundational leadership and what each means. In Part II, Leadership of Self: Growing into Leadership, the leadership journey requires looking inward to examine who you are, what type of lawyer you want to be, and how you will lead. In Part III, Leadership with Others: Effective Group Dynamics, the book covers topics such as building and nurturing relationships, developing emotional and cultural intelligence, becoming a valuable member of teams, civility, civil discourse, and creating inclusive environments. Finally, in Part IV, Leadership within Community: Service and Impact, the book examines the role of the lawyer in society, including crisis management, how to be prepared for moments of opportunity, and how you can use your skills to have influence and impact others. Contributing your energy to worthy causes about which you are passionate will bring purpose and satisfaction to your life. The authors are available to advise any law school faculty who plan to teach a leadership course and would be happy to discuss the lessons they’ve learned in teaching leadership. Their contact information will be provided upon request. Highlights of Second Edition: Incorporates more clearly the ABA’s requirements for professional identity formation (PIF) Discusses the intersection of that concept with leadership Provides a practical skills approach to becoming a professional Includes an overview of lawyers’ professional identity and formation as a first step to influence and impact through leadership Adds material on new topics, including: Civility and Civil Discourse Character Development o Addressing Fear, Failure, and Feedback Preparing for the future through innovation Design theory Technology The business of lawyering and marketing/branding Addresses the disruptions facing the profession (via changes such as artificial intelligence) and suggests a way forward Takes a fresh look at the issues facing those who would join the profession and gives meaningful, relevant guidance to prepare lawyers to be their best as they serve their clients and communities Professors and students will benefit from: A modular nature due to its multipartite organization, making the book uniquely adaptable for different settings, including: Leadership as a full course, incorporating a module into doctrinal courses, or providing leadership training in a professional development setting, and more A roadmap for teaching these concepts in an easy-to-understand manner that allows for flexibility and adaptability via its teaching framework A book and comprehensive resources written and designed for both new and experienced professors The emphasis of the themes of life-long professional development, lawyers’ ethical obligations, and service throughout
