He writes, “You never do what others do, you must be willing to do what they won’t do.” Even take actions that might seem unreasonable, or that others think are unreasonable. Grant doesn’t want his readers to compete, he wants them to dominate. The 10X Rule is about domination mentality. Grant is stating here that it will take ten times the amount of time and effort to achieve these goals than we think, or at least ten times the thoughts and actions of other people. Massive thoughts must be followed by massive actions. You must set targets that are ten times what you think you want and then do ten times what you think it will take to accomplish those targets. Starting with Chapter 1, titled what is The 10X Rule (Seems like a good place to start). ![]() It was written in 2011 and has 23 chapters.

Galvanized, he joins Nazarene’s followers, ready to enact the change he has waited for all his life. In Jesus, Judas believes he has found the One-the promised Messiah and future king of the Jews, destined to overthrow Roman rule. Acclaimed New York Times bestselling author Tosca Lee brilliantly adapts the life of Judas Iscariot into a dazzling work of fiction-humanizing the man whose very name is synonymous with betrayal.īased on extensive research into the life and times of Judas Iscariot, this triumph of fiction storytelling by the author of Havah: The Story of Eve revisits one of biblical history’s most maligned figures and brings the world he inhabited vividly to life. ![]() ![]() ![]() 3: The third was a Savoy-Bird, well skill’d in Confidence and the depth of Pockets. of Don Quixote Pt 2 V i: Bird, right thou art the bird of Night: Come, I’ll go with thee by thy broad Face and toothless Gums I know thee. 101: He being jealous of his fine Bird (not without cause) was frightned because she sung the tune of Horn-fair most odiously.ĭ’Urfey Comical Hist.

Your cards may get annoyed and the spirits might get frustrated at you, which will mean inaccurate results. (For example, ask, “What will the exam be like?” Don’t ask, “Will I pass the exam?”) Only ask a question once during the daily pull. For a regular daily tarot pull, you’ll get more accurate answers if you ask a question that can be answered by the meaning of the card. Tarot can answer “yes” or “no” questions, but getting such concise, definitive answers requires deep dives into the symbolism of the cards. Ask open-ended questions that the cards can answer and explain. Think of a question you want answered for the day. Center and ground your energy to be present for the tarot reveal. Ask your spirit guides to give you light, wisdom, clarity and the truth that you seek from the tarot pull. An invocation is a great way to set the tone of the tarot reading. ![]() Light a white candle to call in the spirits who can help you to heighten your intuition. ![]() ![]() ![]() This YA novel from New York Times bestselling author A.

Now she’s written about it in what she’s called her most personal novel to date, A Very Large Expanse of Sea. Everyone simply reverts to their reductive presumptions about her religion and her politics. No matter that she grew up in the States, is an avid reader, an aspiring break dancer and possesses a vitriolic sense of humor. The slings and arrows of high-school social dynamics are amplified for her, a Muslim in America just after 9/11. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The logic of the standard biography-a formative event leads to an epiphany that creates the great man-doesn’t quite work when the greatness doesn’t have much to do with the man at all. The speed with which tech giants make their fortunes, the seemingly arbitrary distinctions between competing startups, and the mostly ephemeral and debatably useless nature of many of their products make the typical tech success story a lot harder to tell-at least in any honest way. But at least Lee Iacocca, for instance, had a Ford Mustang to show for his efforts, and a spate of competitors who did, in fact, need to be vanquished. The same, of course, could be said about all business biographies: nearly every story of fortune comes down to luck and timing. But what really separated all the losers from those who had been able to amass a large fortune was a whole lot of lucky breaks in a row. Most of them, it turned out, were far more broke than they let on. Once you get past all the wealth, the erratic habits, and the self-mythologizing, how does a responsible author account for the subject’s success? Earlier in my career, I wrote quite a bit about the poker world, and after a while I came to the realization that, for the vast majority of so-called geniuses, there wasn’t some magical system that allowed them to print money at casinos or sports books. The tech mogul presents the same biographical problem as the professional gambler. ![]() ![]() ![]() However, it also created tension between the people and the sovereign ruler. Public torture and execution were utilized to maintain control and to emphasize the power of the sovereign. Foucault explores the reason for this shift in thinking about punishment and argues that it is the result of multiple factors, including changing social sensibilities and the construction of the modern soul. Within a span of 80 years, European countries abandoned public executions and ushered prisoners away from view. This guide will avoid the use of stigmatizing language that may perpetuate negative stereotypes, except when speaking directly about Foucault’s work on this subject.ĭiscipline and Punish: The Birth of the Prison by Michel Foucault traces the evolution of Western criminal punishment from public spectacle to private psychological control. Foucault’s work on this subject is integral to a comprehensive understanding of his philosophy in Discipline and Punish: The Birth of the Prison. He also uses these terms within a Western philosophical and literary tradition, including the trope of the “wise fool,” which suggests that some people with altered consciousnesses have greater wisdom. ![]() Foucault uses the terms “madness” and “insanity” to refer to persons with mental illness and disabilities. ![]() ![]() This guide utilizes the 1977 translation by Vintage Books.Ĭontent Warning: This guide considers Foucault’s entire body of work to lend context to Discipline and Punish, including his 1961 book Madness and Civilization: A History of Insanity in the Age of Reason. ![]() ![]() The images before him generated a love of detail, an admiration for the creative process, and a curiosity about the hand behind the drawings. When the everyday play stopped, he would follow his imaginary playmates into the pages of books, wandering among dinosaurs in the World Book Encyclopedia. His home and his neighborhood became anything from a faraway planet to a prehistoric jungle. Perhaps it was this decor which awakened his creativity and gave it the dreamlike, imaginative quality so often found in his work.Īs a child growing up in suburban New Jersey, Wiesner re-created his world daily in his imagination. During David Wiesner's formative years, the last images he saw before closing his eyes at night were the books, rockets, elephant heads, clocks, and magnifying glasses that decorated the wallpaper of his room. ![]() |
