Book Description
“From computers to energy to even my love: restaurants . . . Sam’s journey reminds us that the American Dream is alive and well.” —Kimbal Musk, founder and owner of The Kitchen Restaurant Group Known throughout his childhood as “Bubba,” Sam Wyly’s story is one of evolution, connection, and unrelenting optimism. Born in rural Louisiana, Sam’s humble beginnings may have made him seem an unlikely candidate to become one of the preeminent entrepreneurs of the last century, but his accomplishments speak for themselves. Told with candor and humor, primarily through the lens of his business endeavors, Sam’s story tracks a lifetime of growth and betterment, as he consistently utilizes what may seem like limitations to his advantage. “I cannot think of a proper way to salute Sam Wyly. He has accomplished a great deal, and his success has always been accomplished with honor and integrity.” —George H. W. Bush “Sam is certainly an amazing visionary, a successful entrepreneur and definitely lives the American dream.” —Michael Rouleau, former CEO and president of Michaels Stores “Sam Wyly has been an extraordinary visionary for the long term.” —John Mackey, founder of Whole Foods “Spanning four decades and remarkably diverse industries, the career of Sam Wyly—a true original—shows what good ideas, strong will and access to capital can accomplish.” —Michael Milken, chairman of The Milken Institute

Beyond The Pride and The Privilege
Author: Agustina Purnamasari
Publisher: IAP
ISBN: 1623969085
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 171
Book Description
Attrition among doctoral students has become a perennial issue in higher education (Gardner, 2009; Golde, 2000) as 40 to 60 percent of doctoral students do not complete their program of study (Bair &Haworth, 2005). Such outcomes are inconsistent with the rigorous evaluation that occurs prior to being accepted into a doctoral program (Bair & Haworth, 2005). Despite deemed levels of student excellence, promise and efforts made by programs to counter student departure (Offerman, 2011), attrition rates remain alarmingly high (Bair & Haworth, 2005; Gardner, 2009). The purpose of this book is to provide a view into doctoral student work-lives and their efforts to find a balance between often seemingly conflicting responsibilities. In addition to contributing to the ongoing dialogue on work-life balance in doctoral studies (Brus, 2006; Golde, 1998; Moyer, Salovey, & Casey-Cannon, 1999), the intention of this book is to provide other doctoral students with potential coping mechanisms, guidance, and assurance that they are not alone in this process. Lastly, we anticipate that these doctoral student narratives will help illuminate potential strategies that doctoral programs, departments, and institutions can incorporate in their efforts to help students successfully complete their program of study. As such the intended audience is doctoral students, higher education professionals, faculty members, and educational leaders.
