Teaching the Pig to Dance A Memoir of Growing Up and Second Chances

Teaching the Pig to Dance A Memoir of Growing Up and Second Chances
Fred Thompson, "Teaching the Pig to Dance: A Memoir of Growing Up and Second Chances"
English | 2010 | ISBN: 0307460282 | EPUB | pages: 272 | 4.5 mb
Fred Thompson has enjoyed a remarkable career in Hollywood and politics, but when he sat down to write a memoir about how he got to be the person he is, he discovered that his best stories all seemed to come out of the years he spent growing up in and around his hometown of Lawrenceburg, Tennessee. It was a small town but not the smallest-after all, it was the county seat and it did have a courthouse, a couple of movie theaters, and its own Davy Crockett statue. For truly small, you had to travel to nearby Summertown, where the regular Sunday dinner was possum and chocolate gravy. But Lawrenceburg is where Fred got to be a kid, get in his share of trouble and scrapes, get to know folks he didn't realize were so colorful at the time but sure does now, get married, have a few kids, become a man, and start his career as a country lawyer (pretty much in that order). And as Fred tells it, getting that law degree was something of a surprise for him, since in school he'd been less than stellar as a scholar. "Teaching Latin to someone like me," he says, "was like trying to teach a pig to dance. It's a waste of the teacher's time and it irritates the pig."

Taming the Risk Hurricane: Preparing for Significant Business Disruption
English | 2022 | ISBN: 152300049X | 144 Pages | EPUB | 3 MB
Risk management has become a standard part of the strategic tool kit, providing senior leaders with a forward-looking radar to scan the future and give early warnings of approaching threats and opportunities. However, even best-in-class organizations can falter in the face of extreme risk exposure. Special circumstances demand special responses, and extreme risk exposure needs very careful handling. Routine risk management approaches will fall short, but businesses that demonstrate a high degree of flexibility and resilience will have the competitive advantage and the ability to thrive where others fail.

Talks on Beelzebub's Tales

Talks on Beelzebub's Tales
John G. Bennett, A. G. E. Blake, "Talks on Beelzebub's Tales"
English | 2012 | ISBN: 0877286809 | ASIN: B0090NAHG0 | PDF | pages: 153 | 0.5 mb
Bennett first read Beelzebub's Tales in 1948. He regarded it as a work of superhuman genius, containing expressions of reality, which, by their very nature, were bound to make severe demands on any reader. With Gurdjieff's approval, he undertook a series of lectures in London focusing on the essential meaning of Beelzebub's Tales. More than commentaries, these "talks" are an invitation into the deeper meanings of Gurdjieff's enigmatic "tales." This book was compiled and arranged soon after the last years of Bennett's life by Anthony Blake. Now, thirty-years after that initial compilation, Blake gives us a new foreword with contemporary insights into the visionary message of Gurdjieff's "tales to his grandson." Although Bennett's talks were intended to be a companion to reading and understanding Gurdjieff's masterwork, Anthony Blake's foreword allows even those unfamiliar with Gurdjieff's Tales to begin a journey into the depth of its meaning.
