Barefoot In Paradise Summary
The book starts off with Alvin Day sharing his personal story- a chapter he titled “Barefoot in Paradise.” This is used to describe his living conditions in Jamaica, a place that is considered paradise to some. The book further explained the process of transformation in the other chapters by explaining each law. The book is arranged into nine (9) chapters. The transition into each chapter is very easy because they build on each other. There is also an action item at the end of each chapter to challenge the reader to correct actions. The book lends itself to providing the building blocks necessary for success. Alvin Day exposes readers to the seven (7) universal laws that will help even the common person to achieve excellence.

    Pilgrim At Tinker Creek Summary

    Sounds ranging from the constant, rhythmic waves to the loud wind wafting past my ears envelop me as I stand at the edge of the cliff in Croatia. There is chaos and serenity at this moment, much like nature, and when I took in all the information from the environment my senses were overwhelmed yet astounded at the same time highlighting the sheer power of nature and the effect it has on our lives. Much like this event, one of the biggest aspects that Dillard addresses and looks into, if not the main aspect, in Pilgrim at Tinker Creek specifically, the chapter The Present is whether or not the world and nature have a higher purpose and meaning in the everyday lives of people. This chapter specifically deals with the importance of the present and what it may add to the idea of life's meaning. Dillard describes numerous experiences she’s had in the past to portray the bond she obtains with nature and the various lessons she learnt regardless of whether she was aware or unaware of its effects in that particular moment. Dillard seems torn on whether or not self-conscious or conscious is a better state to experience the…

    How To Write An Essay On Outliers By Malcolm Gladwell

    A motto I got out of this book is that upbringings lead to opportunities. This means that not only do things happen by chance, they also happen because of their upbringings. Opportunities arise when you apply yourself and allow yourself to become involved. The longer you do these things, the better chance you have at growing as a person and in life. Bu not every person has the motivation to apply themselves in everyday life.…

    William Arthur Ward: The American College Man

    To be honest, one would have to stretch in order to discover many similarities between my life, and the life of the American college administrator William Arthur Ward; a man who was born in 1921 and throughout his life became a champion for education and academia. However, William Arthur Ward has given me a very important gift; he has bestowed upon me a mantra which I have applied successfully throughout my experiences in the classroom, the Football and Lacrosse fields; as well as in my everyday life…

    Sean Covey '7 Habits Of A Highly Effective Teenager'

    Sean Covey uses a unique and personal writing towards his audience that has attracted many readers. Not only does Covey’s writing attract readers but also that his father wrote “7 Habits of a Highly Effective Adult” and was very popular. This is why Covey wrote “7 Habits of a Highly Effective Teenager” because he wanted a book that was just like his fathers but for teens and would help them in the future so they won’t have any habits when they're an adult. Sean Covey inspires teens to improve their choices in life so that they can become well-rounded adults by using tone, point of view, and evidence.…
