Secrets de Richesse

ISBN:

Languages : fr
Pages : 0
Book Description
WEALTH SECRETS révèle le chaînon manquant entre vouloir réussir et l'atteindre ! "Je m'engage à être riche." Essayez de vous dire cela... Qu'est-ce qui vous arrive ? Pour certains, cela donne du pouvoir. Pour d'autres, c'est intimidant. La plupart des gens ne s'engageraient jamais vraiment à être riches. Si vous leur demandiez: Est-ce que vous parieriez votre vie que dans les dix prochaines années, vous serez riche ? la plupart diraient: "Pas question!" C'est la différence entre les riches et les pauvres. C'est précisément parce que les gens ne s'engagent pas vraiment à être riches qu'ils ne le sont pas et ne le seront probablement jamais. Certains diront: de quoi tu parles ? je travaille mon cul; J'essaie vraiment fort. Bien sûr, je me suis engagé à être riche. Et je répondais: Que vous essayez signifie peu. La définition de l'engagement est de se dévouer sans réserve. Le maître mot est sans réserve. Ce qui signifie que vous mettez tout, et je veux dire tout, vous êtes dedans. La plupart des gens que je connais qui ne réussissent pas financièrement ont des limites sur ce qu'ils sont prêts à faire, combien ils sont prêts à risquer et combien ils sont prêts à sacrifier. Bien qu'ils pensent qu'ils sont prêts à faire tout ce qu'il faut, après un questionnement plus approfondi, je trouve toujours qu'ils ont beaucoup de conditions autour de ce qu'ils sont prêts à faire et à ne pas faire pour réussir !
The Revolutionary Temper: Paris, 1748-1789
Author: Robert DarntonPublisher: W. W. Norton & Company
ISBN: 1324035595
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 454
Book Description
A brilliant account of the coming of the French Revolution, and the culminating work of this most distinguished historian. When a Parisian crowd stormed the Bastille in July 1789, it triggered the overthrow of the monarchy and the birth of a new society. In retrospect we understand the French Revolution as the outcome of such factors as a faltering economy and Enlightenment thought. But what did the Parisians themselves think they were doing—how did they understand their world? In this dazzling history, Robert Darnton draws on decades of study to conjure a past as vivid as today’s news. He explores eighteenth-century Paris as an information society like our own, its news circuits centered in cafés, on park benches, and under the Palais-Royal’s Tree of Cracow. Through pamphlets, gossip, and public performances, the events of some forty years—from disastrous treaties and royal debauchery to thrilling hot-air balloon ascents—entered the churning collective consciousness of ordinary Parisians. With public trust eroding as new aspirations soared, Parisians prepared themselves for revolution.

On the Edge of Truth and Honesty: Principles and Strategies of Fraud and Deceit in the Early Modern Period
Author: Publisher: BRILL
ISBN: 9004475923
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 336
Book Description
In the early modern period, deceit and fraud were common issues. Acutely aware of the ubiquity and multiplicity of simulation and dissimulation, people from this period made serious efforts to gain a better understanding of the phenomenon, trying to distinguish between acceptable and unacceptable, pleasant and unpleasant, wicked and virtuous forms of deceit, and seeking to unravel its principles, strategies, and functions. The twelve case-studies in this volume focus on the use of deceit by several groups of people in different spheres of life, as well as on its representation in literary and artistic genres, and its conceptualization in philosophical and rhetorical discourses. The studies testify to the rich variety of deceitful strategies applied by people from the early modern period, as well as to the subtlety and diversity of the conceptual frameworks they construed in order to grasp the many aspects of the elusive yet all-pervasive phenomenon of deceit. Contributors include: Daniel Acke, Jacques Bos, Wiep van Bunge, Evelien Chayes, Paul J.C.M. Franssen, Paul van Heck, Toon van Houdt, Alfons K.L. Thijs, Bert Timmermans, Johannes Trapman, Mark van Vaeck, Natascha Veldhorst, and Johan Verberckmoes.

Literary Translation, Reception, and Transfer
Author: Norbert BachleitnerPublisher: Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG
ISBN: 3110641976
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 486
Book Description
The three concepts mentioned in the title of this volume imply the contact between two or more literary phenomena; they are based on similarities that are related to a form of ‘travelling’ and imitation or adaptation of entire texts, genres, forms or contents. Transfer comprises all sorts of ‘travelling’, with translation as a major instrument of transferring literature across linguistic and cultural barriers. Transfer aims at the process of communication, starting with the source product and its cultural context and then highlighting the mediation by certain agents and institutions to end up with inclusion in the target culture. Reception lays its focus on the receiving culture, especially on critcism, reading, and interpretation. Translation, therefore, forms a major factor in reception with the general aim of reception studies being to reveal the wide spectrum of interpretations each text offers. Moreover, translations are the prime instrument in the distribution of literature across linguistic and cultural borders; thus, they pave the way for gaining prestige in the world of literature. The thirty-eight papers included in this volume and dedicated to research in this area were previously read at the ICLA conference 2016 in Vienna. They are ample proof that the field remains at the center of interest in Comparative Literature.
