The Art of Success: What No One Ever Taught You (But You Still Need to Know) - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: The Art of Success is like having a coffee with the world's greatest business minds. Melouney has collected some of the most profound quotes on success and infused them with a caffeinated text that will leave you energized to take on the world." —Jay Samit, bestselling author of Disrupt You! "I write this review as the 2016 Rio Olympics come to a close. I’m reminded of the similarities between a good athlete and a good writer: inherent skill, internalized motivation, years of intense work, overcoming countless hurdles, artful negotiation of the unexpected, then the finish line. James has succeeded. I’d award him a gold medal for The Art of Success. " —Paul W. Swets, bestselling author of The Art of Talking So That People Will Listen Want to change your life? Then change your mind. In The Art of Success, James Melouney invites you to see the world differently—by walking in the shoes of 134 extraordinarily successful people. These billionaires and business gurus; sports stars and rock stars; philosophers, emperors, inventors, and saints have lived exceptional lives. So what, exactly, do they know that you don’t? Einstein, Edison, Jobs, and all the others are in these pages for one reason: to reveal the crucial lessons that helped them turn their dreams into reality. And the best part is, anyone can learn them! It doesn’t matter where you come from or what mistakes you’ve made. In fact, humble origins, false starts, and even outright failure can be your biggest assets. What matters is your choice in this moment. Don’t wait. Will you remember today? We are all unique, but as different as we all are, the things we seek in life are astonishingly similar. We all want happiness, fulfillment, health, and financial security. But it seems that only a small group of people are able to achieve what they truly desire in life. So why do some people live exceptional lives, while others seemingly trudge along, never amounting to their true potential and never living the life they know they are capable of? This question has been asked throughout history, but of all the factors that influence our lives, it comes down to one: philosophy. And all it takes is a few words to forever change the way you see the world. If you are curious to learn a philosophy that can momentously affect your life, these pages hold some of the best there is. With 134 inspiring exemplars waiting to share their ideas with you, many of the answers you seek are within your reach. Most people won't take the time or invest the money to grow and develop themselves. The question is, what does doing nothing cost you?

نویسندگان: خلاصه: *equivalent of 115 million suns26. Alfa of Hercules, which is 1,200 light years away, and is the largestof all known stars, is eight million billion times larger than the sun27.In order to understand the enormity of these celestial bodies , we can say that the orbit of themoon around the earth fits inside the Sun, and that the radius of Antares is equal to the diameter ofearth’s orbit, that is about 300,000,000 km, and that the diameter of the orbit of Pluto which is12,000 million km, is a tenth of the radius of Alfa of Hercules.All of the data mentioned above was calculated for me by an astronomer.The largest known radio star is DA/240 which has a diameter of six million light years28. Thediameter of this radio-star is sixty times greater than the diameter of our galaxy, the Milky Way,which is only about one hundred thousand light years.5. These gigantic objects travel at great speeds.Earth travels at one hundred thousand kilometers per hour, which is about thirty kilometers persecond29.The Sun is traveling towards the Constellation of Hercules at a rate of 300 km per second.The Constellation of Virgo is moving away from us at a speed of one thousand kilometers persecond30The Cumulus of Boyero is leaving us at a speed of one hundred thousand kilometers persecond31.Because of the speedy motion towards the red ray spectrum we can calculate that there arestars that are moving at a rate of 276,000 km per second, or about 92% of the speed of light
Anything School Can Do You Can Do Better: The Story of a Family Who Learned at Home, Revised Edition - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: In the late 1940s, when our family began, ‘early cognitive learning’ was not supposed tobe possible. It was taken for granted that real learning happened-in school, and thatschool was a good thing; the more of it everyone could get, the better.Now, in the early 1980s, many people, though not all, have come to change their mindsradically on both questions. It happens that our experience cuts across both trends. Ourchildren began to learn early, and they learnt at home, not at school, until the age of eightor nine. Now that the youngest of our eleven children has just finished school, it seemsthat the learning they did in those few years at home has been much more relevant totheir later careers than anything they did in primary school. As for post- primary school,some gained some benefit, when they were lucky enough to meet a good teacher with asmall class; two at least were harmed; on the whole, the experience was irrelevant.The first part of this book tells about the early learning; how it was prompted, and ageneral survey of how we all went about it. Anyone who wants to make use of ourexperience will find more detail in the chapter called Resources, towards the end.The next section gives a short account of each of the children, just to tie up thebeginnings with their life after school. It might be easier to keep track of the peoplemoving through the first story if you turn to these chapters if confused.Then comes ‘The Debate about Reading’ with a chapter to itself. This is a subject,which, in the English-speaking world, generates vast amounts of argument. There arethose who think reading is too delicate a matter for parents to meddle in and there areothers who think that parents should be enlisted to help the school. There are those whothink it should be taught in kindergarten, and others who vehemently disagree. I have justcome across this judgment, made in 1970 by Dr Hans Furth, a psychologist at theCatholic University of America, Washington, DC.Mark well these twin conditions: learn reading and forget your intellect. The average fiveto nine year old, from any environment, is unlikely, when busy with reading and writing,to engage his intellectual powers to any degree.Even to copy that sentence makes my blood pressure rise. And on top of the disagreementabout when reading should be taught, and by whom, there are entrenched views about thebest methods. We used four different methods; though each did well enough one of themseemed decidedly more satisfactory than the others; it is appropriate only to the home. Inthe first draft of this book I found that while I was trying to describe our experience I wasalso getting caught up in arguments on all fronts at once. This time round I have tried togive a straight account of the different methods in the first part of the book and keep allthe arguments and references to research which I discovered later on safely shut up in achapter of their own.
Tricks of the Trade: How to Think about Your Research While You're Doing It - Original PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: Drawing on more than four decades of experience as a researcher and teacher, Howard Becker now brings to students and researchers the many valuable techniques he has learned. Tricks of the Trade will help students learn how to think about research projects. Assisted by Becker's sage advice, students can make better sense of their research and simultaneously generate fresh ideas on where to look next for new data. The tricks cover four broad areas of social science: the creation of the "imagery" to guide research; methods of "sampling" to generate maximum variety in the data; the development of "concepts" to organize findings; and the use of "logical" methods to explore systematically the implications of what is found. Becker's advice ranges from simple tricks such as changing an interview question from "Why?" to "How?" (as a way of getting people to talk without asking for a justification) to more technical tricks such as how to manipulate truth tables.Becker has extracted these tricks from a variety of fields such as art history, anthropology, sociology, literature, and philosophy; and his dazzling variety of references ranges from James Agee to Ludwig Wittgenstein. Becker finds the common principles that lie behind good social science work, principles that apply to both quantitative and qualitative research. He offers practical advice, ideas students can apply to their data with the confidence that they will return with something they hadn't thought of before.Like Writing for Social Scientists, Tricks of the Trade will bring aid and comfort to generations of students. Written in the informal, accessible style for which Becker is known, this book will be an essential resource for students in a wide variety of fields."An instant classic. . . . Becker's stories and reflections make a great book, one that will find its way into the hands of a great many social scientists, and as with everything he writes, it is lively and accessible, a joy to read."—Charles Ragin, Northwestern University
In Vain I Tried to Tell You: Essays in Native American Ethnopoetics - Original PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: From the Introduction:This book is . . . devoted to the first literature of North America, that of the American Indians, or Native Americans. The texts are from the North Pacific Coast, because that is where I am from, and those are the materials I know best. The purpose is general: All traditional American Indian verbal art requires attention of this kind if we are to comprehend what it is and says.There is linguistics in this book, and that will put some people off. ''Too technical," they will say. Perhaps such people would be amused to know that many linguists will not regard the work as linguistics. "Not theoretical," they will say, meaning not part of a certain school of grammar. And many folklorists and anthropologists are likely to say, "too linguistic" and "too literary" both, whereas professors of literature are likely to say, "anthropological" or "folklore," not "literature" at all. But there is no help for it. As with Beowulf and The Tale of Genji, the material requires some understanding of a way of life. Within that way of life, it has in part a role that in English can only be called that of "literature." Within that way of life, and now, I hope, within others, it offers some of the rewards and joys of literature. And if linguistics is the study of language, not grammar alone, then the study of these materials adds to what is known about language.
