Book Description
EVERY WORD WE UTTER CAN BE CHARGED WITH MAGIC IF WE COME TO LEARN SOME RATHER SIMPLE UNIVERSAL RULES! NOW IT IS POSSIBLE TO TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR LIFE BY HARNESSING THE SUPERNATURAL ENERGY OF THE SPOKEN WORD - ORDINARY WORDS THAT YOU USE ON A REGULAR BASIS. We live in an age of high-tech communication. The Internet, cell phones, text messages and the satellites that power them are all a deeply-ingrained part of our lives. But the simple art of speaking will ALWAYS be the most fundamental, meaningful method of communication as it is language that gives us the ultimate power over our individual circumstances and permits us to evoke love, good health and gratification as well as fend off the evil and illness and despair that might plague us otherwise. Maria D' Andrea is a gifted psychic who will teach you the hidden meaning of what you might think are just "ordinary" words. You will learn to harness the true power of linguistics, to use human language to establish an open channel of communication with the cosmos. This power was secretly embedded in an everlasting "code" by the Creator, an encrypted message which can assist an honest seeker in obtaining that which they deem worthy and essential. Words have always been spoken as rewards from those we love or used as weapons to cause hurt. In this addition to Maria's popular "Yes You Can!" series, she teaches the student to tap into a powerful energy force generated by the spoken word, an ability man has had since ancient times but has been locked away deep in the recesses of our subconscious. This work will teach you how to "cancel" feelings of anger and resentment and even to neutralize the negative energies of your enemies. As simple as Maria's metaphysical lessons may be, she admits that she has up until now been forced to guard many of her spiritual secrets lest she draw the ire of the uninitiated who would keep the populace in spiritual darkness. "SUPERNATURAL WORDS OF POWER" WILL GRANT YOU THE ABILITY TO SPEAK THE "RIGHT WORDS" FOR YOURSELF IN WAYS YOU NEVER DREAMED POSSIBLE!

Grit
Author: Angela Duckworth
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1501111124
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 350
Book Description
In this instant New York Times bestseller, Angela Duckworth shows anyone striving to succeed that the secret to outstanding achievement is not talent, but a special blend of passion and persistence she calls “grit.” “Inspiration for non-geniuses everywhere” (People). The daughter of a scientist who frequently noted her lack of “genius,” Angela Duckworth is now a celebrated researcher and professor. It was her early eye-opening stints in teaching, business consulting, and neuroscience that led to her hypothesis about what really drives success: not genius, but a unique combination of passion and long-term perseverance. In Grit, she takes us into the field to visit cadets struggling through their first days at West Point, teachers working in some of the toughest schools, and young finalists in the National Spelling Bee. She also mines fascinating insights from history and shows what can be gleaned from modern experiments in peak performance. Finally, she shares what she’s learned from interviewing dozens of high achievers—from JP Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon to New Yorker cartoon editor Bob Mankoff to Seattle Seahawks Coach Pete Carroll. “Duckworth’s ideas about the cultivation of tenacity have clearly changed some lives for the better” (The New York Times Book Review). Among Grit’s most valuable insights: any effort you make ultimately counts twice toward your goal; grit can be learned, regardless of IQ or circumstances; when it comes to child-rearing, neither a warm embrace nor high standards will work by themselves; how to trigger lifelong interest; the magic of the Hard Thing Rule; and so much more. Winningly personal, insightful, and even life-changing, Grit is a book about what goes through your head when you fall down, and how that—not talent or luck—makes all the difference. This is “a fascinating tour of the psychological research on success” (The Wall Street Journal).

Book Description
Want to feel smarter? Want to have the perfect quip at the tip of your tongue? Use Your Words combines Word Power Quizzes and Quotable Quotes from Reader's Digest, Amercia's Most Popular Magazine so you can do just that! Use Your Words is part word quiz book and part quote book, combined together in themed sections. It will be a combination of 2 of our most popular columns in Reader’s Digest Magazine—Word Power and Quotable Quotes. Quotable Quotes, as it appears today, first ran in January 1934. It was proceeded by similar quote columns, including Remarkable Remarks, which ran in the first ever issue of Reader's Digest in February 1922, and Significant Sayings, which ran in June 1922. These first columns featured the great minds of the day, including Herbert Hoover (before he became president), Lady Astor, and John D. Rockefeller. The quotes were, and continue to be, collected from a variety of books, speeches, journals, and articles. We've quoted both living and dead people. The column hasn't changed much, except for the art. It began as a one-page list of quotes and continues to be a one-page list of quotes. Quotable Quotes is second to Laughter the Best Medicine in column popularity. Word Power first ran in January 1945—January 2020 will mark 75 years. Word Power's creator, Wilfred Funk, was a poet and lexicographer—his family was the “Funk” of the reference publisher Funk & Wagnalls. He presented his quiz idea to Dewitt Wallace in 1944. Wilfred's son Peter Funk wrote the column from the 1960s to the 1990s. Current writers are a married couple who are well-known in the crossword/puzzle world: https://www.theatlantic.com/past/docs/unbound/wordgame/crbio.htm The column hasn’t changed much—it has 15 words now instead of 20. It has themed columns (car words, Italian words) rather than words based on RD. It has a sidebar that goes in-depth on something related to the theme. Word Power is our 3rd most popular column in the magazine.
