Download or read book Tips and Maxims for Living a Principled Life written by The Petrie Group and published by . This book was released on 2011-11-04 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Not all of these "maxims" are "short, or pithy sayings that have some truth to them." In some cases I err on the peices not being short, but all of them give principles, or understandings I've gained that will prove helpful to not only my children, but to all children who walk on this earth. The majority of these maxims are in the measured feet of poetry, but not in poetic lines. The maxims, in general, are presented to appear as prose. I use maxims as a reminder that the Maxims of Good Discourse by vizier Ptahhotep (ca. 2200 BC) is the oldest form of literature in the world. These maxims are intended to give my children tips and advice on how to develop into "good people" and live a principled life? Like the vizier Ptahhotep, I am imparting information that I hope will be useful to young people as they build a world. It is my hope that they flavor their new world, not merely embellish it, with art and music full of beauty and harmony. These things are being leeched from our society, in general, and our African (black) heritage, specifically. I took the oldest form of literature that mankind knows that happens to have been created by my ancestors. I urge my children to reclaim a world that poet Margaret Walker insisted that a new generation rise and take control.
Download or read book Living a Principled Life written by Richard C. Matteson and published by . This book was released on 2021-11-17 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We have lost sight of the principles of life that guide us to holistic living. These principles are rooted in the Bible and have not changed through the centuries. They are rules without cracks, essential qualities, and the way people can live a dedicated life to themselves, others, and God. They provide freedom in how to live and direction in how to treat others. In every discipline, industry, or profession there is a language which is unique to its purpose, and this is the language for living a fulfilled life. It reveals to individuals, families, groups, churches, and businesses many essential principles to right living which are of inestimable value if used, and can cause a life to thrive. Each principle uses a story in Scripture to bring the principles to life and make easier to remember. The principle remains fresh in the context of the story and brings insight into how to apply it to life today. A principled life cannot be over-rated. It is a key element in the development of maturity in many areas of life.

Download or read book Principles written by Ray Dalio and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2018-08-07 with total page 560 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: #1 New York Times Bestseller “Significant...The book is both instructive and surprisingly moving.” —The New York Times Ray Dalio, one of the world’s most successful investors and entrepreneurs, shares the unconventional principles that he’s developed, refined, and used over the past forty years to create unique results in both life and business—and which any person or organization can adopt to help achieve their goals. In 1975, Ray Dalio founded an investment firm, Bridgewater Associates, out of his two-bedroom apartment in New York City. Forty years later, Bridgewater has made more money for its clients than any other hedge fund in history and grown into the fifth most important private company in the United States, according to Fortune magazine. Dalio himself has been named to Time magazine’s list of the 100 most influential people in the world. Along the way, Dalio discovered a set of unique principles that have led to Bridgewater’s exceptionally effective culture, which he describes as “an idea meritocracy that strives to achieve meaningful work and meaningful relationships through radical transparency.” It is these principles, and not anything special about Dalio—who grew up an ordinary kid in a middle-class Long Island neighborhood—that he believes are the reason behind his success. In Principles, Dalio shares what he’s learned over the course of his remarkable career. He argues that life, management, economics, and investing can all be systemized into rules and understood like machines. The book’s hundreds of practical lessons, which are built around his cornerstones of “radical truth” and “radical transparency,” include Dalio laying out the most effective ways for individuals and organizations to make decisions, approach challenges, and build strong teams. He also describes the innovative tools the firm uses to bring an idea meritocracy to life, such as creating “baseball cards” for all employees that distill their strengths and weaknesses, and employing computerized decision-making systems to make believability-weighted decisions. While the book brims with novel ideas for organizations and institutions, Principles also offers a clear, straightforward approach to decision-making that Dalio believes anyone can apply, no matter what they’re seeking to achieve. Here, from a man who has been called both “the Steve Jobs of investing” and “the philosopher king of the financial universe” (CIO magazine), is a rare opportunity to gain proven advice unlike anything you’ll find in the conventional business press.
