3 octobre Few good lines from "To Kill A Mocking Bird ""You never really understand a person until you consider things from point of view--until you climb into his skin and walk around in it." -Atticus
"They don't do one thing but sing their heatrs out for us......, and so it's a sin to kill a mockingbird!!"
-Atticus "When a child asks you something, answer him, for goodness' sake. But don't make a production of it. Children are children, but they can spot an evasion quicker than adults, and evasion simply muddles 'em." - Atticus Finch
"I wanted you to see what real courage is, instead of getting the idea that courage is a man with a gun in his hand. It's when you know you're licked before you begin but you begin anyway and you see it through no matter what. You rarely win, but sometimes you do." - Atticus Finch
" before i can live with other folks, I've got to live with myself. One thing that does not abide the majority's rule is a person's conscience"
-Atticus Finch I wanted you to see what real courage is, instead of getting the idea that courage is a man with a gun in his hand. It's when you know you're licked before you begin but you begin anyway and you see it through no matter what. You rarely win, but sometimes you do. ~Harper Lee, To Kill a Mockingbird, Chapter 11, spoken by the character Atticus
"The one place where a man ought to get a square deal is in a courtroom, be he any color of the rainbow, but people have a way of carrying their resentments right into a jury box. As you grow older, you'll see white men cheat black men every day of your life, but let me tell you something and don't you forget it - whenever a white man does that to a black man, no matter who he is, how rich he is, or how fine a family he comes from, that white man is trash." - Atticus
12 février The World Is FlatThe World Is Flat: A Brief History of the Twenty-first Century As such only after I started reading this book, I started realizing that I am living in a flat world but when I went into my past and try to relate things with the flat world, I can say that I realized that world is one and our competition is not with some one living on the same side of the globe as I am but with people across the globe is when I was in US at Odessa, Texas working for my client. Through this book the writer (Thomas L. Friedman) explains very well how flattening of the world happened at the dawn of the twenty first century. What affect does it have on countries, companies and individuals? He also explains how they can and must adapt to this flat word. This is a brilliant book and good start for those who want to make an impact in the new flat world. Editorial Review on Amazon.com What Friedman means by "flat" is "connected": the lowering of trade and political barriers and the exponential technical advances of the digital revolution have made it possible to do business, or almost anything else, instantaneously with billions of other people across the planet. This in itself should not be news to anyone. But the news that Friedman has to deliver is that just when we stopped paying attention to these developments--when the dot-com bust turned interest away from the business and technology pages and when 9/11 and the Iraq War turned all eyes toward the Middle East--is when they actually began to accelerate. Globalization 3.0, as he calls it, is driven not by major corporations or giant trade organizations like the World Bank, but by individuals: desktop freelancers and innovative startups all over the world (but especially in India and China) who can compete--and win--not just for low-wage manufacturing and information labor but, increasingly, for the highest-end research and design work as well. (He doesn't forget the "mutant supply chains" like Al-Qaeda that let the small act big in more destructive ways.) Friedman tells his eye-opening story with the catchy slogans and globe-hopping anecdotes that readers of his earlier books and his New York Times columns will know well, and also with a stern sort of optimism. He wants to tell you how exciting this new world is, but he also wants you to know you're going to be trampled if you don't keep up with it. His book is an excellent place to begin. --Tom Nissley 25 juillet Think and Grow RichThis weekend I started reading "Think and Grow Rich" by Napolean Hill. This book explains the fundamentals of Law of success philosophy. I have just read the first two chapter of this book and I think it’s a great book to read for all of us who wants to be successful in life. Below are some lines from a poem from a great poet mentioned in the second chapter "DESIRE" of this book:
