  Reviewed By  Stan Skrabut, Ed.D.   When friends shared memes saying that  1984  was not a how-to manual, I didn’t understand but now I do. It became time to read  1984  when Susan Henking suggested it in a Facebook post in which she tagged me. Having never given much thought to the book, I did know it was about the idea of government eavesdropping but not much more. I always heard that Big Brother was watching. I understood it to mean that your conversations could be listened to and that you had less privacy. The world of  1984  was much more. I found the book to be unnerving especially in 2017.  George Orwell wrote  1984  in 1949. It is about a dystopian world that is at constant war. It does not need to be at war, but it is one of the many mechanisms to control the general population. War is only one strategy The Party uses. Other strategies include the rewriting of history, constant falsification, the dumbing down of society, increasing a nationalistic frenzy, and the loss of priv

A Good Piece of Writing... By Andrew Hickey,  BSE at ASU, MS at Stanford The Lesson Behind this Story is " You will find success. Turn the Difficulties into Opportunities. Feeling Sorry won’t Do Anything Good for YOU! AND " A School Doesn’t Define Who You Are. You Choose Through Your Actions"!  Andrew Hickey:  Stanford University was my dream school. I was Salutatorian, Senior Class President, held leadership positions in my small, poor community that made an impact, and was student-athlete of the year at my high school. I prepared my essays non-stop and took the SAT a few times to get a great score one year in advance. I was  rejected . When I read the email after football practice, I didn’t tell my parents. I sat in self-pity in my room for the day. Couldn’t sleep. I thought I was a failure and I couldn’t figure out what I did wrong. I woke up the next day, told my parents, then left to the nearby soccer field to my house. I was kicking the ball around and thought They

 Written By Hikmet Cihan Do Turkish people like to leave Turkey? No. I dreamt of leaving Turkey a lot for years. But after travelling around the globe for the last 10 years and actually seeing and experiencing things firsthand, I usually returned loving my country even more. If the trip forced me to stay outside of Turkey for more than a week, I returned literally to kiss the holy soil of Turkey. When I saw the words “Evinize hoş geldiniz” (Welcome back home) in the airport, my eyes literally got wet. And when I actually had the chance to move away for good (got a job offer from Toronto, Canada and after that England and Singapore), I seriously considered moving away and finally decided really not do it, even when the position made much more sense careerwise. Here are my several reasons behind the decision to stay in Turkey: Pride and Prejudice You will always be second class citizens and no one is welcoming you with open arms. While Canadians are known to be one of the kindest and mos

  Why Successful Leaders Hire Executive Coaches By  Roberta Matuson If we’ve learned only one thing from the pandemic, it’s that we need people around us for support. Leaders have spent the past two years in isolation and are slowly getting back into the swing of things at work. For many, the transition into the new normal isn’t going as smoothly as they had hoped, which may explain why my colleagues and I are noticing a significant uptick in the number of requests for coaching. Here’s what we’re hearing. 1.   I thought I was doing fine at work until my boss told me that I have a communication problem, that if not resolved, could impact my longevity with the company. 2.   I’m feeling stuck. I’m watching people around me receiving exciting new job opportunities, while I tread water. 3.   I need a sounding board. Someone who will tell me what I need to hear and not what they think I want to hear. 4.   I’m exhausted. I’ve been trying to keep all the balls in the air for way too long and a

  The trivium, quadrivium, and blah blah blah Posted on  March 25, 2022  by  Mark Tokarski I’ve been reading Jordan Peterson, and finished his book  Twelve Rules for Life . It was enough of JP for me, as at my age, there was not much new for me in it. As we age, we become wiser, learn from mistakes, even become more sympathetic to others and to different ideas. For instance, at age 38, having abandoned the Catholic faith, I was angry at the Church for having brainwashed me as it did, and thought people who were devoted to the faith to be of a lesser mind than me. Later I would read  The Varieties of Religious Experience  by the American intellectual/psychologist William James, and took on a new outlook. While religion would never appeal to me, those who experience religious enlightenment are experiencing real phenomena, and are made better and happier people in the process. (Oddly, I no longer have this book. It was a keeper, and I do not know what happened to it.) I now look at my Cat
