Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The world is enormous, entire 197 million square miles of it. However, it pales into insignificance when compared to the scale and complexity of the human brain, the human mind. The mind lives in the unlimited space of imagination and can move mountains, cause the skies to fall and earth to spin. What separates the mind is mans belief in separation but everything is from the same source and therefore, we are all connected. Individually, we all have our own roles to play that collectively keeps this planet spinning on its current axis. My mind, my imagination and my ideas are presented to you in the form of this book. My purpose is to share with you my aspirations and me ever present belief in the collective power of humanity. Fear strikes with a shaking hand But imaginations imagination is alive and ever present Blessing to us from Robert Frost and Edgar Allen Amongst many more The desire to write has taken place Writing a poem to humble me My shaking hand but I will not give up I will dedicate this These words are meant to be A sharing of my respect and gratitude To all writers and poets Who will not give up?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United States has been epitomized as a land of opportunity, where hard work and skill can bring personal success and economic well-being. The American Dream has captured the imagination of people from all walks of life, and to many, it represents the heart and soul of the country. But there is another, darker side to the bargain that America strikes with its people -- it is the price we pay for our individual pursuit of the American Dream. That price can be found in the economic hardship present in the lives of millions of Americans. In Chasing the American Dream, leading social scientists Mark Robert Rank, Thomas A. Hirschl, and Kirk A. Foster provide a new and innovative look into a curious dynamic -- the tension between the promise of economic opportunities and rewards and the amount of turmoil that Americans encounter in their quest for those rewards. The authors explore questions such as: -What percentage of Americans achieve affluence, and how much income mobility do we actually have? -Are most Americans able to own a home, and at what age? -How is it that nearly 80 percent of us will experience significant economic insecurity at some point between ages 25 and 60? -How can access to the American Dream be increased? Combining personal interviews with dozens of Americans and a longitudinal study covering 40 years of income data, the authors tell the story of the American Dream and reveal a number of surprises. The risk of economic vulnerability has increased substantially over the past four decades, and the American Dream is becoming harder to reach and harder to keep. Yet for most Americans, the Dream lies not in wealth, but in economic security, pursuing one's passions, and looking toward the future. Chasing the American Dream provides us with a new understanding into the dynamics that shape our fortunes and a deeper insight into the importance of the American Dream for the future of the country.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: He has come a long way both literally and figuratively from his days as a poor shepherd boy in Tunisia, North Africa, but Ben Amor is a symbol of what can happen when you don't give up and chase the American Dream until it comes true. The successful career man reinvented himself again after a dream in 1983 of children crying because they were dying of starvation. Unable to forget the sound of children crying, he founded Terra-Genesis Inc., a nonprofit agency that began as a way to try to end world hunger through technology. The book tells how a young man's vision and passion lead him to chase the American Dream in spite of many challenges and people calling him "crazy". Ben has his own experience with overcoming the odds, a journey he intimately describes in The Urban Shepherd. He shares his joys-and his sorrows-from humble beginnings working hard to survive in Tunisia, serving in the Tunisian Air Force, and moving to the United States to live. Through sharing his personal journey adjusting to a new culture, toxic relationships, professional and personal setbacks, and balancing school, work, and family life, Ben aims to empower readers to chase and reach the American Dream. Chasing the American Dream...the Story of a Shepherd Boy The Urban Shepherd is a biographical self-help book that shows how a young poor shepherd boy followed his desire to find the American Dream. Staying perseverant in pursuit of a dream can be challenging, especially when one starts out with meager resources, lack of experience, and a continuous barrage of personal and professional setbacks. The Urban Shepherd takes you on an engaging journey through the souks of Tunisia, North Africa, to the bustle of the San Antonio, Texas, with its Alamo and Riverwalk. While the book reads like a mosaic pieced by countless aspects of life, relationships, and professional growth, its purpose is clear-to empower readers to chase and actualize their dreams and find self-fulfillment. The book shows that what is important is not where you start but where you end up. The author was born in Tunisia as a boy of humble stature, raised on farmland. As a Tunisian Muslim, he decided to join the air force and then moved to the United Sates to pursue the American Dream. The dream did not come easily, but eventually, it did come. The author cites bits of advice from notable authors such as T. Harv Eker, Elizabeth Steger, and Don Miguel Ruiz, author of The Four Agreements. Ben's approach is both instructional and personal as he mentions works that he gained inspiration from.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Providing decent, safe, and affordable housing to low- and moderate-income families has been an important public policy goal for more than a century. In recent years there has been a clear shift of emphasis among policymakers from a focus on providing affordable rental units to providing affordable homeownership opportunities. Due in part to programs introduced by the Clinton and Bush administrations, the nation's homeownership rate is currently at an all-time high. Does a house become a home only when it comes with a deed attached? Is participation in the real-estate market a precondition to engaged citizenship or wealth creation? The real estate industry's marketing efforts and government policy initiatives might lead one to believe so. The shift in emphasis from rental subsidies to affordable homeownership opportunities has been justified in many ways. Claims for the benefits of homeownership have been largely accepted without close scrutiny. But is homeownership always beneficial for low-income Americans, or are its benefits undermined by the difficulties caused by unfavorable mortgage terms and by the poor condition or location of the homes bought? Chasing the American Dream provides a critical assessment of affordable homeownership policies and goals. Its contributors represent a variety of disciplinary perspectives and offer a thorough understanding of the economic, social, political, architectural, and cultural effects of homeownership programs, as well as their history. The editors draw together the assessments included in this book to prescribe a plan of action that lays out what must be done to make homeownership policy both effective and equitable.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are stories of biological evolution, and then there are stories of soul evolution.

The story chronicles his transformation from soldier to a man of God, but for him the process of change was not always kind. Making his journey more difficult is the fact that he comes from a mixture of two cultures, Native American (Navajo) and white. He encounters people who are further along the path in their soul evolution than he is, along with incredible obstacles to his education and business endeavors. But most importantly, he must learn to reconcile his warrior nature with God's plan for him. In the end, will he succeed in this?
