YOU ARE A MEMBER OF A VERY SPECIAL SISTERHOOD. You are a HuMa-a Tiger Mom-and I am a HuJieMei-your Tiger Sister. You are prepared to give your child the best possible college education in the United States in a COVID-19 world that has turned college admissions upside down. How will you accomplish this? You have formed your child's competitive spirit. You have directed their lofty flight to academic excellence. Your child is ready for the challenge. They have the advantage. But you require a superior plan to reach your child's desired college goal. Lack of critical knowledge can significantly diminish your child's chances for college admissions acceptance. You need wisdom and expertise on successfully positioning your child within a school where dreams for their brightest future become possible. Together, we will pour our energy, support, heart, and love into helping your child gain admittance into an American college and graduate with happiness, confidence, and ease. Your Unique Style Through the original Tiger Mother evolution came you and your unique style of preparing your student for college and their future careers. The original Tiger Mom was focused on discipline, grades, and test scores and may have directed their child's college major and career. You have more understanding of your child's inner spirit than making them conform to a path that does not allow expression. You listen to their childhood dreams as they might be expressing their passion for a future career. But you are also a realist, keeping in mind the future career must be able to support your child after college graduation.

Legendary Yankees catcher (and accidental Zen master) Yogi Berra once asked, "How can you think and hit at the same time?" The answer is you can't. And you can't enjoy a full, satisfying life while obsessing over the past or future. You can't savor existence by living inside your head - by thinking instead of doing. This is one of the main themes of Zen Buddhism. Zen teaches us to focus on the here and now - to live in a reality that's meant to be fully experienced. Zen is seeing into your true nature. It's is about liberation from our racing minds - from limited perspectives about ourselves, our relationships, our emotions and reactions. For many Zen Buddhists, contemplating koans is a vital part of this path to liberation. Life Between the Tigers is a new collection, adapted for the modern Western reader, of Buddhist parables and Zen koans (paradoxes that challenge our perspective on life and reality). In their original forms, many koans are set in times and places that are "alien" to most Westerners. They refer to traditions, customs, locations, and histories that can confuse (and even deter) new students of Buddhism. In Life Between the Tigers, these classic stories have been edited into everyday English, so the average reader can better understand and enjoy them. Whatever your spiritual leanings, Life Between the Tigers will challenge you to see something you previously could not or would not see, provoking insights both profound and prosaic. "You know the sound of two hands, clapping. What is the sound of one hand?" asks one koan. Linear, logical thinking will get you nowhere with a riddle like that. So prepare to let go of your logical mind and see reality for what it is - a place where our words for things are not the things themselves and where human concepts limit our ability to understand the world around us.
Sometimes feelings can go wild. . . Lily is a little girl with big emotions. And sometimes she can't keep herself from acting out and being naughty.

Julius Evola’s final major work, which examines the prototype of the human being who can give absolute meaning to his or her life in a world of dissolution • Presents a powerful criticism of the idols, structures, theories, and illusions of our modern age • Reveals how to transform destructive processes into inner liberation The organizations and institutions that, in a traditional civilization and society, would have allowed an individual to realize himself completely, to defend the principal values he recognizes as his own, and to structure his life in a clear and unambiguous way, no longer exist in the contemporary world. Everything that has come to predominate in the modern world is the direct antithesis of the world of Tradition, in which a society is ruled by principles that transcend the merely human and transitory. Ride the Tiger presents an implacable criticism of the idols, structures, theories, and illusions of our dissolute age examined in the light of the inner teachings of indestructible Tradition. Evola identifies the type of human capable of “riding the tiger,” who may transform destructive processes into inner liberation. He offers hope for those who wish to reembrace Traditionalism.
“It is better to be a tiger for one day than a sheep for a thousand years.” – Tibetan Proverb Tigers walk alone. They are not shepherded through life and are entirely self-sufficient. Confident, capable, charismatic—they are masters of their own destiny in the jungle. As a keystone species, they are catalysts for creation. Would you rather be a tiger or a sheep? The Tiger CEO is a book that hones your leadership skills with the wiles and wisdom of a tiger’s tactics in the wild. Many leadership books allude to the idea of the “tiger” in you. This book draws parallels between feline traits and those of great leaders, ranging from Gandhi to Elon Musk. It not only highlights the manner in which iconic biodiversity conservation leaders such as Jim Corbett have protected and studied the species but also how their own behaviour has been impacted by it. Broken down into eleven distinct sections, this book attempts to adapt the lessons learnt from a tiger’s day to day behaviour consciously into our work and our lives. Master the skills, strategy and strength of a tiger to become the king of your own jungle.
