“Few people know the ‘price’ of everything, and yet ‘value’ of nothing.” I know that’s not you, because if it were the case – you won’t be flickering here to make things better and take your life to the next level. Today, a lot of people know what to do, yet a very few do what they know. The reason being is – they just don’t know how. This book is all about “how”. This book will help you to enhance and optimize each and every area of your life and will empower you how to crush it all! It is not what the book will cost you, it is what it will cost if you don’t read it. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- “Successful is a man who is healthy, wealthy & wise.” We all have dreams – a fascinating & enchanting imagination and a blueprint of how our life is supposed to be. We all want to believe deep down in our souls that we have a special gift, that we can make a difference, that we can touch others in a special and pretty unique way, and that we can make this world a better place to live. At one time in our lives, we all had a vision for the quality of life that we desire and deserve. Yet, for many of us, those dreams have become shrouded in the frustrations and routines of daily life that we no longer even make an effort to accomplish them. For too many, the dream has dissipated – and with it, so has the will to design an extraordinary quality of life filled with grace and abundance. Many have lost that sense of certainty that creates winners edge. After all, “what’s the difference that makes the difference?” What makes the difference in the quality of people’s lives? Why few achieve what they want and succeed in their lives up to no limits and rest just keep dreaming and never reach to their “dreamland”? What is it that makes successful people “successful” and the rest mere dreamers? After all, what’s the difference between “incredibly successful” legends and “happily mediocre” crowd? How is it that so often people from such humble beginnings, devastating backgrounds, miserable circumstances, poor conditions and innumerous disappointments in spite of it all manage to create lives that inspire us? Conversely, why do many of those born into privileged environments, with every resource for success at their fingertips end up, ill, fat, broke, stupid, embarrassed, miserable, often chemically addicted & technically screwed? What makes some people’s lives example, while other’s a warning? For my entire life – I have been obsessed with like questions. And to quench my quest of figuring out the difference that made the difference – I stumbled upon an never ending journey – the road to “personal excellence”. The road which is always under construction. I’m not here to claim that I have figured it all out. But the great news is, “I’m yet evolving.” “Honor those who seek the truth, beware of those who have found it.” (For me, it’s a reminder that the path to personal excellence never ends and that absolutely nobody has this SHIT figured out.) Be Successful: Thrive Exponentially Beyond Excellence is my “open invitation” for you to join me on this uniquely phenomenal journey – the way to thrive exponentially beyond excellence. IS THIS INVITATION REALLY FOR YOU? Oh! I must say, that’s a pretty good question. “Knowledge is having the right answer, while intelligence is asking the right question.” Anyways – let’s come back to the point. Is this book really for you? Now, I can answer it in two ways: Firstly, Yes. Just because Sir Jim Rohn says, “You should always invest 10% of your income on yourself. Your personal development.” So, if he says that you should invest 10% of your income on your personal development – so you must. (Just Kidding). You might say, “Well, Sir Jim can say that you should invest 100% of your income on yourself – so we must?” May be, if he says so – then yes. Okay. Jokes apart. But wait, I have another good reason for you to consider why you must invest your “time” in this book. (It isn’t what the book costs. It’s what it will cost you if you don’t read it.) You see, I believe I know who you really are. If you are a kind of person who’s always seeking for “the edge” and you never want to settle for anything less than you are made to be or share or give or contribute. And that no matter how well you are already doing or how challenged you now may be, deep inside of you there lies a belief that your experience of life can and will be much greater than it already is – I think, this is a pretty perfect place for you to fit in! By consistently taking advantage of each of the chapters in this book, you will ensure your ability to maximize your potential and live a life – filled with grace and abundance. If you are still with me – let me brief you about how this book is structured and how to get the most of it. Basically, I have designed it in such a way that it will help you to grow and thrive in each and every area of your life, either it be your finances or relationship with your fiance (or fiancee) this book will invariably help you to unleash your true potential and reach the next level of success, happiness, fulfillment and accomplishment. It has 10 sections and in all, 55 chapters, guiding you thoroughly how to walk on the blazing path of success. Ah! Yes.

An essential guide for those charged with supervision of nonclinical staffin programs, agencies, and units within social service organizations "As someone who has worked in social service agencies, consulted with hundreds of them, and who teaches social service professionals, Ms. Summers knows the issues faced by agencies firsthand. From this experience she has compiled a thoughtful and well-organized text that identifies the principles of effective supervision." —Samuel Knapp, EdD Director of Professional Affairs, Pennsylvania Psychological Association From the Foreword The care of patients and clients of social service agencies is increasingly being performed by paraprofessionals or professionals with little experience. While there are many books written about giving quality clinical supervision, there is very little on supervising the least experienced frontline nonclinical and clinical staff to teach and promote positive and effective interaction with clients, and provide staff support and training that elevates quality care, improves job satisfaction, and minimizes staff turnover. Based on author Nancy Summers' many years of working with troubled social service agencies, Managing Social Service Staff for Excellence: Five Keys to Exceptional Supervision fills this need and offers numerous ideas for securing the best care for those served by social service agencies. Common problems faced by agencies are examined with regard to employee behavior and wellness, including staff teamwork, how to build healthy staff/client relationships, and the identification and prevention of routine disrespect of clients and their needs. Diagnostic techniques are presented for identifying these problems, as well as remedies and prevention programs that can be put in place without great expense. Filled with interviews and numerous case examples, Managing Social Service Staff for Excellence offers a step-by-step process for: creating good preventive measures to counteract negative practices that can occur; developing robust commitment and enthusiasm; and getting back on the right track after unfortunate incidents have taken place.
“Above and Beyond is a wonderful creation which describes more than its title. It is a must read for those who are looking further than just leading a business successfully, towards building enduring institutions. The authors through live examples drawn from their vast experience having worked together in building an institution, and later helping many others to do so, have shown that this is possible with care and concern for people while encouraging and supporting them to take on challenges without any fear. Truly insightful and inspirational.” M M Murugappan Executive Chairman, Murugappa group Above and Beyond : How to Build Impactful Businesses, Where Everybody Wins! begins at a point where most management books end—profits, shareholder wealth and success. According to the authors, truly great organisations do not stop there; they leap to the space beyond excellence. This leap itself is powered by a foundation of solid values, a goal towards a common good and the realisation of a larger purpose, which help the organisation make a significant impact on the world outside.
What is a human being? What does it mean to be human? How can you lead your life in ways that best fulfil your own nature? In The Human Paradox, Ralph Heintzman explores these vital questions and offers an exciting new vision of the nature of the human. The Human Paradox aims to counter or correct several contemporary assumptions about the nature of the human, especially the tendency of Western culture, since the seventeenth century, to identify the human with rationality and the rational mind. Using the lens of the virtues, The Human Paradox shows how rediscovering the nature of the human can help not just to understand one’s own paradoxical nature but to act in ways that are more consistent with its full reality. Offering accessible insight from both traditional and contemporary thought, The Human Paradox shows how a fuller, richer vision of the human can help address urgent contemporary problems, including the challenges of cultural and religious diversity, human migration and human rights, the role of the market, artificial intelligence, the future of democracy, and global climate change. This fresh perspective on the Western past will guide readers into what it means to be human and open new possibilities for the future.
“…a rich resource of gems blended with stories, illustrations, quotes, and life-changing insights.” — Janet Perez Eckles, International Speaker and Author On the canvas of life, we each paint our own destiny. How we paint it depends on our approach to life. If our approach is far-reaching and visionary, our life will be far-reaching and visionary. The most meaningful way to live is to continually reach beyond where we are for the greater fulfillment of what we can become. We each have within us all the “seeds” we need for personal growth and development. There is no reason to look to external factors, or anywhere else. New knowledge, new skills, new ways of looking at things are lying deep in our consciousness awaiting positive nourishment. When we truly embrace this thought, we are always in a state of renewal. So, long as we have a fresh eye for new perceptions and new awakenings, the natural tendency to reach beyond is ever present. Reach Beyond and Find Your Path To Success is a resource book. It is designed to help one look forward to a horizon filled with possibilities. It is full of ideas geared to help one understand the power within and how to harness that power to build a better tomorrow. It waters the wholesome qualities within that are just waiting to be awakened. Those watered are the ones that sprout, make their way into awareness, and manifest outwardly. We don’t grow old. When we stop growing, we become old. Accepting change and welcoming the unknown, is to recognize the authentic realism of reaching beyond. Answer the highest calling of your heart, establish your foothold and reach beyond your grasp. Let Reach Beyond ignite your spirit and the power that is generated through its everlasting words be your guide.
Born into slavery in rural Louisiana, Rose Herera was bought and sold several times before being purchased by the De Hart family of New Orleans. Still a slave, she married and had children, who also became the property of the De Harts. But after Union forces captured New Orleans in 1862 during the American Civil War, Herera’s owners fled to Havana, taking three of her small children with them. Beyond Freedom’s Reach is the true story of one woman’s quest to rescue her children from bondage. In a gripping, meticulously researched account, Adam Rothman lays bare the mayhem of emancipation during and after the Civil War. Just how far the rights of freed slaves extended was unclear to black and white people alike, and so when Mary De Hart returned to New Orleans in 1865 to visit friends, she was surprised to find herself taken into custody as a kidnapper. The case of Rose Herera’s abducted children made its way through New Orleans’ courts, igniting a custody battle that revealed the prospects and limits of justice during Reconstruction. Rose Herera’s perseverance brought her children’s plight to the attention of members of the U.S. Senate and State Department, who turned a domestic conflict into an international scandal. Beyond Freedom’s Reach is an unforgettable human drama and a poignant reflection on the tangled politics of slavery and the hazards faced by so many Americans on the hard road to freedom.
