Download or read book Young Achievers written by Ernest Moses and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2013-01-12 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Has this generation missed the path of achievers?, Has this generation lossed the inner enrichment that enhances the outer world?, what is the greatest discovery of all time? - These and many other questions are answered in this book. The purpose of this book is to help with the attainment of inner- balance and inner -serenity in our day to day activities. We live in a generation that everything moves so fast, so much so that we seem to have lossed that inner drive that produces great achievers due to focusing on the 'outer world'; Young achievers seeks to stir in you this all- important principle of 'Living Life Inside Out.' Above all is to help the youths to discover themselves and connect with the 'higher self' for greater achievement in Life. The book examines man's travel to the moon, the discovery of oil, the making of airplanes along with many more great achievements, BUT the greatest discovery in the history of man is self-discovery. When you discover yourself, you know who you are and you can achieve anything in Life. When you know who you are, is going to help you know exactly what to do in Life; you will maintain focus and also help you to live a decent and balanced life. 'Young Achievers' discloses that all the great achievers in life realized the treasure within before they went ahead to achieve great things. It goes on to explain that inside every man lies the slumbering power and potential to be whatever they want to be and to achieve whatever they want to achieve in life. Self discovery is the DNA of self-enlightenment. it also states when an 'error' is planted in the mind of the youth he or she will doubtless do things without even knowing why he or she is doing them - chapter two talks about mounting guard on our minds ; controlling the thoughts we allow into the fertile ground of our minds - we compared the mind to a fertile garden in that if we take care of this garden by way of nurturing and cultivating it will blossom and give us results beyond our expectation. We also talked about the power of the mind and citing that the secret of great achievers has been their ability to harness and unlock the potential of their minds. The mind gives back to anyone what he ask for, meaning the mind can be conditioned by a technique we call 'programming' - by that we programme the mind to be seasoned for greater works. The big idea we seek to share with the youth is that they can create whatever they want in their lives through the use of the life giving principle of 'living life inside out'. Life is best lived when it is lived inside out. Various techniques are revealed to help youths and anyone live their live's inside out.

Download or read book The Miner s Canary written by Lani GUINIER and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2009-06-30 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Like the canaries that alerted miners to a poisonous atmosphere, issues of race point to underlying problems in society that ultimately affect everyone, not just minorities. Addressing these issues is essential. Ignoring racial differences--race blindness--has failed. Focusing on individual achievement has diverted us from tackling pervasive inequalities. Now, in a powerful and challenging book, Lani Guinier and Gerald Torres propose a radical new way to confront race in the twenty-first century. Given the complex relationship between race and power in America, engaging race means engaging standard winner-take-all hierarchies of power as well. Terming their concept political race, Guinier and Torres call for the building of grass-roots, cross-racial coalitions to remake those structures of power by fostering public participation in politics and reforming the process of democracy. Their illuminating and moving stories of political race in action include the coalition of Hispanic and black leaders who devised the Texas Ten Percent Plan to establish equitable state college admissions criteria, and the struggle of black workers in North Carolina for fair working conditions that drew on the strength and won the support of the entire local community. The aim of political race is not merely to remedy racial injustices, but to create truly participatory democracy, where people of all races feel empowered to effect changes that will improve conditions for everyone. In a book that is ultimately not only aspirational but inspirational, Guinier and Torres envision a social justice movement that could transform the nature of democracy in America.

Download or read book Natural Allies written by Soo Hong and published by Harvard Education Press. This book was released on 2020-07-22 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Natural Allies, Soo Hong offers a paradigm shift in how we think about family engagement with schools. Hong challenges the conventional depiction of parents and teachers as “natural enemies,” and shows how, through teachers’ initiative and commitment, they can become natural allies instead. Based on a three-year ethnographic study, the book features the experiences and motivations of five urban school teachers who have successfully created meaningful, productive relationships and partnerships with students’ families. In Natural Allies, the teachers’ personal narratives are juxtaposed with rich descriptions of their interactions with families and children. The book explores how the dimensions of race, class, culture, and family history shape the interactions between teachers and families, particularly in schools where teacher-parent dynamics may be fraught with distrust or misunderstanding. The book demonstrates how commitment to families and community can become a central part of educators’ development as professionals. In addition, the research provides new insight and seeks to merge the study of family engagement with the field of culturally relevant and sustaining pedagogies. Offered with optimism and urgency, Natural Allies addresses an area in which many educators feel ill equipped and unprepared. Readers will emerge from a reading of the book with new ideas on family engagement that are grounded in an analysis of the deep contours of the parent-teacher relationship.
