Book Description
‘In my bestselling book Triggers’, I raised this important question. Why don't we become the person we really want to be? In his book, ‘Tick Tick Dollar’, Qaier gives us the answer to this question and shares his proven philosophy to make that life a reality’. Marshall Goldsmith - World’s #1 Leadership Coach. #1 New York Times Bestselling Author of TRIGGERS’ Tick Tick Dollar philosophy is not my invention. It is my discovery. I discovered this philosophy when I was at the lowest point in my own life. My 24 years struggle to turn my life around brought me to a point where I was homeless, jobless, visionless, hopeless, resourceless, loveless, and almost lifeless. My annual income was less than 200$. I had a destructive self-image, stumpy self-confidence, and a poor concept about who I was and what I thought I could do. I had lost faith and was nearly about to give up. And then I embraced Tick Tick Dollar philosophy. Tick Tick Dollar approach was my companion, inspiration, and north star in all those frustrating, shattering, and devastating instants. The fact is that with no financial resources, no professional network, no background, and no confidence, God granted me all that which a few years ago existed only in my imagination. What made me do all of this that I could never have imagined doing even in my daydreams only a few short years ago? It was just a simple shift in my thinking, beliefs, and philosophy. I committed myself to stick to three decisions I made when my life was in a complete directionless mess: 1. Each day I will commit to following my purpose 2. I will use every waking moment to pursue my deepest passion 3. Every day, I will use the joint power of my purpose and passion for performing at the finest optimum levels.

Don't Expect a Standing Ovation
Author: Richard Winter
Publisher: Austin Macauley Publishers
ISBN: 1398401013
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 116
Book Description
How shall I lead my life? What will bring me happiness (and can I possibly know this in advance)? Where do my ethical values, feelings and opinions come from? How do I know if I really understand something, or are my judgements always just opinions? Should I be optimistic or pessimistic about ‘human nature’ – including my own, of course? Finally, are there any ‘objective’ answers to all of this or is any answer always as good as any other? If such questions seem important to you personally, then this book is written for you. Its focus is precisely on methods for understanding better the nature of our experience, behaving more ethically and with greater emotional awareness. Don’t Expect a Standing Ovation is a reworking in contemporary terms of an ancient Buddhist teaching on meditation, but it is intended for readers of any ‘faith’ (or none), i.e., for anyone who is open to meditation as a possibly helpful practical response to the sense of unease arising from the questions listed above. Buddhist teachings are, therefore, introduced not as a ‘religion’ but as a combination of psychological, ethical and philosophical ideas that are nevertheless in themselves not unfamiliar. The teaching consists of fifty-nine slogans or maxims, which taken together form a practical handbook of guidance in responding skilfully (and indeed, therefore, ‘wisely’) in our everyday interactions with others.

Amy Grant
Author: Bob Millard
Publisher: Macmillan
ISBN: 9780312303907
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 232
Book Description
Amy Grant is a bona fide pop star with roots of gospel. As one of the biggest-selling recording artists in gospel music history, she's made the sectarian leap to mainstream "pop gospel" - but not without a fight. Grant has learned that success doesn't come easily, or directly. Despite the Grammys, numerous Dove awards, and the throngs of devoted fans, Grant has had to live with often conflicting loyalties to her career and her spiritual beliefs. As the most glorious symbol of the new Christian woman - tough, liberated, ready to admit her mistakes - Grant is not content to sugarcoat the trials of her life. She has knowingly planted her feet on two antagonistic grounds: secular and religious, commandeering her conflicted position head-on, with warmth and grace.

Glorious Exploits
Author: Ferdia Lennon
Publisher: Henry Holt and Company
ISBN: 1250893704
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 210
Book Description
An utterly original celebration of that which binds humanity across battle lines and history. On the island of Sicily amid the Peloponnesian War, the Syracusans have figured out what to do with the surviving Athenians who had the gall to invade their city: they’ve herded the sorry prisoners of war into a rock quarry and left them to rot. Looking for a way to pass the time, Lampo and Gelon, two unemployed potters with a soft spot for poetry and drink, head down into the quarry to feed the Athenians if, and only if, they can manage a few choice lines from their great playwright Euripides. Before long, the two mates hatch a plan to direct a full-blown production of Medea. After all, you can hate the people but love their art. But as opening night approaches, what started as a lark quickly sets in motion a series of extraordinary events, and our wayward heroes begin to realize that staging a play can be as dangerous as fighting a war, with all sorts of risks to life, limb, and friendship. Told in a contemporary Irish voice and as riotously funny as it is deeply moving, Glorious Exploits is an unforgettable ode to the power of art in a time of war, brotherhood in a time of enmity, and human will throughout the ages.

Eight Propositions
Author: Joe L. Rempson
Publisher: AuthorHouse
ISBN: 1665502193
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 626
Book Description
Rempson takes issue with those who lay the plight of African Americans on racism, not seeing it, today, as a major obstacle to black progress. Rather, he traces the origin back to what he terms the African American Garden of Eden. In it, W. E. B. Dubois outlasted Booker T. Washington and fathered a tradition which Rempson argues has produced a victim identity and an emphasis on the system rather than the self. Only black males offer a way out, he declares, because it is entirely “our black males who are keeping us down and curtailing our progress,” in contrast to black females, who “are doing OK.” They are plagued by what Rempson calls the African American Male School Adaptability Crisis (AMSAC). Their academic performance ranks at the bottom, alone, below black female students and below white, Asian, and Hispanic male students. In large urban areas, their high school dropout rate is 59 percent and, nationally, they lag behind in college attendance and graduation rates. The outcome, Rempson argues, is dysfunctionality and the existence of hedonistic norms which hinder family and community stability. But while black males are the problem, Rempson contends, it is nevertheless only they who can solve it because research and experience show that it takes males to bring up and change other males. Though intended for everyone, he therefore writes his book to his fellow advantaged black males and makes a passionate plea for them to step up and, with the help of black females and of the nation, take the lead. As their guide, he has formulated eight propositions. Arrived at through an examination of impressively extensive data from numerous sources and disciplines, they are a marked departure from the customary. Most strikingly, delicate matters, such as those which pertain to intelligence quotient (IQ) and culture, are openly confronted and dealt with. But, Rempson writes, “unless confronted, we will not solve our problems.” “Nor,” he continues, “can we solve them unless we cut the umbilical cord to white America. We have no right to expect it to be our savior; nor are we justified in perceiving it as our oppressor.” Forcefully and finely written, Rempson’s book is a singular and courageous contribution. Alone, his eight propositions make it a worthy read.
