It's a Living


Book Description

Through 67 interviews and 59 colour photographs, It's a Living reveals the energy and struggle of the world of work in Vietnam today. A goldfish peddler installing aquariums, a business school graduate selling shoes on the sidewalk, a college student running an extensive multi-level sales network, and a girl doing promotions but intent on moving into management, are just a few of the people profiled. Based on frank and freewheeling interviews conducted by students, the book engages a broad range of Vietnamese, both living in Vietnam and abroad, on their feelings about work, life and getting ahead. By providing a ground-level view of the texture of daily working life in the midst of rapid and unsettling change, the book reveals Vietnam today as a place where ordinary people are leveraging whatever assets they have, not just to survive, but to make a better life for themselves, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

It's Time to Make a Living


Book Description

"There is no better plan, than a subsequent plan, that protects your total plan." "Your future can be bright if you help create the light." It's Time To Make A Living-depending upon how you express the title of the book, can clearly mean two distinct things. For example, "Wow, it's time to make a living." That most likely would be interpreted as someone that is involved in an awesome business venture who has time to make the type of living that they please. On the other hand, if someone said in a grumpy voice, while shaking his/her head from side-to-side, "It's time to make a living." That could be interpreted as someone with a job without much hope or promise who regrets having to go to work everyday. Well, for all intents and purposes, this book is clearly to uplift the "Wow" in everyone when it comes to making a living. But, the book also covers the reality of how people actually treat themselves financially in the work arena and in life in general. We should all strive to be the best that we can be in whatever avenue we choose to invest our time. Money is definitely a necessity, but knowing the best way to obtain it is optional. This book favors the needs of the common man and woman and expresses practical ways in which they can gain, sustain and maintain a lucrative income for themselves and their families. Don't buy the hype, employers do not have to be in control of your life and financial status. Do you want to be POOR? Passing Over Opportunities Repeatedly-Donald Bradley- YTB Millionaire Or do you want to get RICH? Residual Income Changes Horizons-Erick G. Benson- Common man Author Erick G. Benson, lives in Southern California with his wife DeJoire and two daughters, Ericka and Deja. Mr. Benson has a deep passion to help people be all they can be financially."

Making a Living Without a Job


Book Description

Winter, from the Introduction




The Work of Living


Book Description

As COVID-19 swept across the globe with merciless force, it was working people who kept the world from falling apart. Deemed "essential" by a system that has shown just how much it needs our labor but has no concern for our lives, workers sacrificed--and many were sacrificed--to keep us fed, to keep our shelves stocked, to keep our hospitals and transit running, to care for our loved ones, and so much more. But when we look back at this particular moment, when we try to write these days into history for ourselves and for future generations, whose voices will go on the record? Whose stories will be remembered? In late 2020 and early 2021, at what was then the height of the pandemic, Maximillian Alvarez conducted a series of intimate interviews with workers of all stripes, from all around the US--from Kyle, a sheet metal worker in Kentucky; to Mx. Pucks, a burlesque performer and producer in Seattle; to Nick, a gravedigger in New Jersey. As he does in his widely celebrated podcast, Working People, Alvarez spoke with them about their lives, their work, and their experiences living through a year when the world itself seemed to break apart. Those conversations, documented in these pages, are at times meandering, sometimes funny or philosophical, occasionally punctured by pain so deep that it hurts to read them. Filled with stories of struggle and strength, fear and loss, love and rage, The Work of Living is a deeply human history of one of the defining events of the 21st century told by the people who lived it.

Wedding, Water, Wine


Book Description

A small-town wedding takes place, and the caterer doesn't bring enough wine. A woman helping out at the event tells her son. Suddenly, some pots filled with water are now filled with wine. Was this just a case of the right place and the right time with the married couple as the benefactors? Or is there something of far greater magnitude going on than meets the eye? Jesus, the Son of God, has just initiated His earthly ministry and this is the first miracle He performs. Compared to His other miracles, this one comes in last as far as wow factor. And the number of people who knew about it was so few that the wedding festivities went on uninterrupted. On the surface, this miracle comes off as underwhelming and confusing. Its purpose is obscure. It is the least discussed of Jesus's miracles, and when it is, it generates the most wide-ranging explanations. A wedding is a love story, and this one is no exception. As we pull back the veil, we will see that this is the most beautiful of love stories. Watch as Jesus becomes the focal point of the event as opposed to a casual attendee who merely helps a young couple out of an embarrassing moment. See Him in all His glory as He manifests God's love to us. Learn how God's desire to have you in His family is the passion of His heart. Find out how being His sons and daughters puts us in a position to be truly transformed. Take a journey through a miracle which on the surface seems mundane, but in reality is the most amazing event of all time.
