Re2pect – to receive it, one has to give it

 

Aretha Franklin has sung about it for the past 50 years.  

The United States military has evolved from the pain experienced by the soldiers returning from Vietnam to today’s infantry and front line soldiers that  are shown civility and honor in a changing world.

Light Bulb Moments: 75 Lessons for Everyday Living | the right book for almost anyone under 40 years old (or young)

I am including a number of recommended reading listings in my blogs because I have learned there are so many different ways of learning and improving ourselves.

Our business success reflects our personal sense of value and both interact with each other as our careers progress.

 Light Bulb Moments: 75 Lessons for Everyday Living

by Talayah Stovall   is a 5 Star recommendation.

This is the right book for almost anyone under 40 years old (or young)
I say this because it is a small treasury of ideas crafted to the reader who at times is facing life issues.

These can include
• relationships
• building or being on a team
• when to say yes and when to say no
• time management
• learning to appreciate what we have and can do, as well as what we cannot do
• understanding values of our own and others
• passion
• vision
• dealing with success
• dealing with failure
• persistence and many more

I said this is the right book for almost anyone under 40 years old, but in reality we all need to refocus our attention at times. This is a collection of short tales (3-5 pages each) that can cause any of us to have the AH-HA or Light Bulb moment.

Highly recommended!

Recommended Reading from Hospitality Educators | Nothing Changes Until You Do: A Guide to Self-Compassion and Getting Out of Your Own Way

Good lessons – recommended reading over a two week period, with small tastes and taking time to sink in. 

 

This book is a series of contrasts.

The contrasts are an evolution of time and are generally positive and to the point.I am not familiar with the career of Mike Robbins as a ballplayer, but it can be interesting to see the world from a different profession than our own.  Some can say that most readers don’t really care about his ego and success in baseball, yet we all care about our life story and that is what we know about.The author’s writings style uses an easy to read format and the chapters are short and bite sized. This is a book from Hay House publishing and one can see the values and approach that many of their authors use.

 

In particular, I like the following chapters
• Chapter one – focus on what really matters
• Chapter six – ask for help
• Chapter seven – don’t get caught in the trap of comparison
• Chapter 10 – don’t take yourself too seriously
• Chapter 13 – give yourself permission to make mistakes
• Chapter 17 – remember that it’s not the circumstances, it’s you
• Chapter 18 – appreciate people
• Chapter 20 – give yourself permission to cry
• Chapter 24 – practice gratitude
• Chapter 27 – remember that your much more than what you do
• Chapter 31 – be easily amazed
• Chapter 37 – focus on what you can control
• Chapter 40 – live like you’re going to die (because you are someday)

I read two books a week, with one novel and one for something to expand my mind in a different direction. I doubt if there is much information in this book that many of us have not been exposed to previously, yet we all realize that we must keep repeating the lessons that are hard for us to learn if we are to gain from their strength.

This is a good book and a recommended reading over a two week period, with small tastes and taking time to sink in.
