Book Description
Ideas have legs, legs that can build but cannot walk, legs that can grow but cannot stroll. All great things start in the mind of thinkers as ideas of one thing or the other. Ideas may lead to build a new thing; to improve upon something already existing or to destroy it. Most inventions or discoveries over the years started in this way. When an idea fails to germinate the seed dies. It follows a dream, and like many dreams it could bear fruits or perish like a burnt oak tree. The best way to nourish ideas to fruition is to put things on paper. Write them down and do not procrastinate with getting things started; otherwise it will fizzle away, disappear in thin air like it never occurred. This book is part of a dream come true. I have being nursing the idea of writing for many years; and have actually authored and compiled a number of booklets before this Ideas have legs. Ideas have legs therefore is the assembled thoughts of John Chigbo on various topical issues; some offering solutions to mundane problems, others providing insight, and developing ideas on business projects. I am sure you will find some of the articles perhaps useful and stimulating. This is my minute contribution to the avalanche of publications in the market for various reasons. Mine is a hobby or past timetake your pick.

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 321
Book Description
BONUS: This edition contains an excerpt from Sandra Kring's A Life of Bright Ideas. Wisconsin, 1961. Evelyn “Button” Peters is nine the summer Winnalee and her fiery-spirited older sister, Freeda, blow into her small town–and from the moment she sees them, Button knows this will be a summer unlike any other. Much to her mother’s dismay, Button is fascinated by the Malone sisters, especially Winnalee, a feisty scrap of a thing who carries around a shiny silver urn containing her mother’s ashes and a tome she calls “The Book of Bright Ideas.” It is here, Winnalee tells Button, that she records everything she learns: her answers to the mysteries of life. But sometimes those mysteries conceal a truth better left buried. And when a devastating secret is suddenly revealed, dividing loyalties and uprooting lives, no one–from Winnalee and her sister to Button and her family–will ever be the same.

On My Own Two Feet
Author: Amy Purdy
Publisher: Harper Collins
ISBN: 0062379119
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 198
Book Description
Amy Purdy, who inspired a nation on Dancing with the Stars and has been called a hero by Oprah Winfrey, reveals the intimate details of her triumphant comeback from the brink of death to making history as a Paralympic snowboarder. In this poignant and uplifting memoir, Dancing With the Stars sensation Amy Purdy reveals the story of how losing her legs led her to find a spiritual path. When the Las Vegas native was just nineteen, she contracted bacterial meningitis and was given less than a two percent chance of survival. In a near-death experience, she saw three figures who told her: “You can come with us, or you can stay. No matter what happens in your life, it’s all going to make sense in the end.” In that moment, Amy chose to live. Her glimpse of the afterlife—coupled with a mysterious premonition she’d had a month before —became the defining experiences that put Amy’s life on a new trajectory after her legs had to be amputated. She wouldn’t just beat meningitis and walk again; she would go on to create a life filled with bold adventures, big dreams, and boundless vitality—and share that spirit with the world. In 2014, Amy—the only competitor, male or female, with two prosthetic legs—claimed a bronze medal for the U.S. Paralympic team in adaptive snowboarding. She then became a contestant on season eighteen of Dancing With the Stars, and viewers were captivated as the girl with bionic legs managed to out-dance her competitors all the way to the finale. Amy’s journey is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the capacity we all have to dream bigger, defy expectations, and rewrite our stories. Amy was given a second chance for a reason—to use her life to inspire others. Her powerful memoir urges us to live life to the fullest, because we are all a lot more capable than we could ever imagine.
