Life Goes Both Ways


Book Description

The story Life Goes Both Ways is a true story that is about a twenty-year-old who just finished high school from abroad and moved to the USA without his mom, dad, and friends. Due to the speech impediment, life was too difficult for him. When he left, he made lots of commitments to his family. In the start, he felt that everything was going to be easy, to the point where he was going to maintain a reasonable life right away. Shortly, he discovered that things didn't work like that in the United States of America. Some types of items ought to be done sooner before you could get yourself situated. At foremost, he was living with his brother J, but things didn't work out nicely between the two of them. In a brief time in the country, he was out of his brother's home with no place to stay. Luckily, an elder companion of his promised him to stay in his place until he gets his life in order. Therefore, he jumped back and forth from position to position until he chose to go to school to construct some modifications in his life. He attempted to go to school, but it didn't work out for him. It wasn't until he met a professor who used to teach French at a university in Paris who showed him some methods about how to write essays in the English language. Ever since, he observed he was doing very well in school. He managed to get his associate's in business entrepreneurship but then quit going to college. After a few years, he met his wife, and they had three boys together and bought a house. Due to union obligations and taking care of the children, he couldn't afford to go back to school. His life was focused on the children's education and work. After the children graduated from college and had successful careers, he decided to go back to school to finish what he started. After fifty-plus years during COVID time, he went back to school and managed to graduate with honors. He went to Purdue University Global, where he got himself a degree in business administration. He was an exceptional student too. Information in the book showcased that life went both ways. At certain times in life, there would be no way out; other times; things would be floating smoothly. At first, the future didn't appear very good for the young man in this country. With hard work, commitment, and the support of a few good people, he managed to adjust certain things and, at last, create an exorbitant life for himself. Things were challenging at the beginning, but he turned a bunch of negative stuff into positive ones. Nevertheless, I think that we need good tutors to teach us about the facts of life. In that case, our parents are the ideal ones. After all, I believe very strongly that we should listen to our mom and dad more often because their words contain valuable lessons to teach us.




Look Both Ways


Book Description

In Look Both Ways, respected branding consultant and design community leader Debbie Millman has constructed a series of essays that examine the close relationship between design and everyday life. You'll find inspiration on every page as you meander through illuminating observations that are both personal and universal. Each beautifully illustrated essay reveals the magic - and wonder - of the often unseen world around us. Excerpt from "Look Both Ways" It occurred to me, as I stood there, that I could simultaneously, vividly look both ways - backward and forward, in time - at once. I remembered longing to know what was coming, who I would become and how. And I suddenly saw it all over again in front of me. The light was exactly the same, and as the sun fell and the summer shadows slivered against the elegant, lean, concrete towers in the distance, I recognized the smell of the warm air, the precise pink and grey of the coming dusk and the mysterious melancholy and joy of both knowing and not-knowing, and the continuity that occurs when both collide.—Debbie Millman

Quantum Change


Book Description

Most of us walk through each day expecting few surprises. If we want to better ourselves or our lives, we map out a path of gradual change, perhaps in counseling or psychotherapy. Psychologists William Miller and Janet C'de Baca were longtime scholars and teachers of traditional approaches to self-improvement when they became intrigued by a different sort of change that was sometimes experienced by people they encountered--something often described as "a bolt from the blue" or "seeing the light." And when they placed a request in a local newspaper for people's stories of unexpected personal transformation, the deluge of responses was astounding. These compelling stories of epiphanies and sudden insights inspired Miller and C'de Baca to examine the experience of "quantum change" through the lens of scientific psychology. Where does quantum change come from? Why do some of us experience it, and what kind of people do we become as a result? The answers that this book arrives at yield remarkable insights into how human beings achieve lasting change--sometimes even in spite of ourselves.
