Book Description
Once you live as an efficient cause, you establish peace within your heart and soul without any regrets... looking backward and forward. Live your life that the fear of death can never enter your heart. Trouble no one about religion; respect others in their view, and demand that they respect yours. Love your life, perfect your life, and beautify all things in your life. Seek to make your life long and its purpose in the service of your people. Prepare a noble death song for the day you go over the great divide. Always give a word or a sign of salute when meeting or passing a friend, even a stranger, when in a lonely place. Show respect to all people and grovel to none. When you rise in the morning give thanks for the food and the joy of living. If you see no reason for giving thanks, the fault only lies in yourself. Abuse no one and nothing, for abuse the wise ones to fool and robs the spirit of its vision. When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear o death, so when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. "Sing your death song and die like a hero going home."

Book Description
THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER "A hilarious, tender, and altogether life-affirming gem of a book." --Emily Henry, bestselling author of Beach Read A brilliant and touching romantic comedy about two polar opposites, one adorable dog, and living every day to its fullest. When Vanessa Price quit her job to pursue her dream of traveling the globe, she wasn't expecting to gain millions of YouTube followers who shared her joy of seizing every moment. For her, living each day to its fullest isn't just a motto. Her mother and sister never saw the age of 30, and Vanessa doesn't want to take anything for granted. But after her half sister suddenly leaves Vanessa in custody of her baby daughter, life goes from "daily adventure" to "next-level bad" (now with bonus baby vomit in hair). The last person Vanessa expects to show up offering help is the hot lawyer next door, Adrian Copeland. After all, she barely knows him. No one warned her that he was the Secret Baby Tamer or that she'd be spending a whole lot of time with him and his geriatric Chihuahua. Now she's feeling things she's vowed not to feel. Because the only thing worse than falling for Adrian is finding a little hope for a future she may never see.

Pages : 273
Book Description
For those who want to make the transition into the world of vocational photography—staying true to your craft and vision, while fusing that craft with commerce VisionMongers is a great place to begin your journey. With a voice equally realistic and encouraging, photographer David duChemin discusses the experiences he’s had, the lessons he’s learned, and the practices he’s adopted in his own winding journey to becoming a successful working photographer. When it comes to this personal, honest combination of craft and commerce, there is no single path to success. Everyone’s goals are different, as is everyone’s definition of success. As such, VisionMongers does not prescribe a one size-fits-all program. Instead, duChemin candidly shares ideas, wisdom, and inspiration to introduce you to, and help you navigate, the many aspects of transforming your passion into your vocation. He addresses everything from the anxiety-riddled question “Am I good enough?” to the basics—and beyond—of marketing, business, and finance, as well as the core assumption that your product is great and your craft is always improving. Along the way, duChemin features the stories of nine other photographers—including Chase Jarvis, Gavin Gough, and Zack Arias—whose paths, while unique, have all shared a commitment and passion for bringing their own vision to market. With VisionMongers, you’ll learn what paths have been taken—what has worked for these photographers—and you’ll be equipped to begin the process of forging your own.

The Wanton Life of My Friend Dave
Author: Tristan Wood
Publisher: Partridge Publishing Singapore
ISBN: 1482890216
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 283
Book Description
Dave is fourteen when his uncle teaches him how to pick up girls. Several women later, more than a few broken hearts in between, some drugs and alcohol added to the mixture, and a lack of sense of belonging to spice up the picture and Dave becomes a depressive romantic womanizer. Then he meets Izzy. She’s a skeptical clairvoyant, a woman lost in her world of secrets, unspeakable ghosts, and intuitive knowledge. The first time Dave and Izzy meet, they have a spread of tarot cards between them. If anyone said that everything changed in their lives from that moment on, they would be lying, because it took Dave and Izzy six months and the other side of the world for that to happen. So when chance brings them together after their odd first encounter, they form a bound that goes beyond normal friendship and stops at almost nothing. Izzy holds Dave’s deepest fears close to her heart and keeps his dirtiest secrets locked away in her soul. When they realize it, Dave’s wanton life has already permeated all bits of Izzy’s existence. He needs her sometimes more than the air he breathes, so love is not an option, is it? This is not merely about a man and a woman being just friends or more than that. This is about Dave’s wanton life, told by Izzy, who lived it through him.
