All of these elements combine in this collection of poetic musings, taking the reader on an emotional journey through time and space, seeking a place in the universe for their love and all of their feelings.The poems tell us the tale of uncertainty in a relationship and the hopes and fears of the poet, who dreams of the perfect love and has - perhaps - maybe - almost - found it. The worry when they are apart, the nerves when they're together, the assurances and reassurances, as well as the desolation and pain of unrequited, wasted love and heartbreak: all is discussed. Every reader will identify with some or all of the feelings expressed in this story, told in a quiet and contemplative tone.
Do you ever wonder whether it's possible to be a person or company of honor and still succeed in today's world? If your fellow athletes take steroids and you don't, will you make the team? If you tell the truth but your competitors lie, will you go out of business? After decades of working with dozens of top athletes and executives, coach Jim Loehr argues persuasively that success stems from achievement based on your values and purpose. He teaches that no matter how enormous your gains, if you lie or cheat to attain them - or even if you achieve them honestly but for the wrong reasons - you will fail. Loehr doesn't preach; rather, he compellingly - if a bit repetitively - asks you to define what you stand for and then to implement the standards you value as you compete, rather than pursuing only extrinsic rewards. getAbstract recommends this substantive manual to those who seek meaning from their work, to leaders trying to build sustainable cultures, and to parents striving to raise children with good values
