Journey to the Impossible
Author: Scott Jeffrey
Publisher: Creative Crayon Publishers
ISBN: 9780971481503
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 234
Book Description
With so many books about self-realization and success on the racks, why arent more people self-realized and successful? Huge numbers of people pursuing this type of information prove that many want more from life. They are even willing to invest time and money to learn how to achieve more. So why dont more people actually succeed? Scott Jeffrey realizes what many well-meaning motivators and educators miss: This information must be consistently usable in everyday life. It must be accessible to men and women with impossible work schedules, families, and other time consuming responsibilities. Through a series of thought-provoking strategies and exercises designed to "tune" what is already within the individual rather than complicating the task with new, often confusing information, Jeffrey helps you organize your thoughts, tap existing power, and claim the success you already own.

Conquering the Impossible
Author: Mike Horn
Publisher: Macmillan + ORM
ISBN: 1466880155
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 432
Book Description
In August 2002, Mike Horn set out on a mission that bordered on the impossible: to travel 12,000 miles around the globe at the Arctic Circle - alone, against all prevailing winds and currents, and without motorized transportation. Conquering the Impossible is the gripping account of Horn's grueling 27-month expedition by sail and by foot through extreme Arctic conditions that nearly cost him his life on numerous occasions. Enduring temperatures that ranged to as low as -95 degrees Fahrenheit, Horn battled hazards including shifting and unstable ice that gave way and plunged him into frigid waters, encounters with polar bears so close that he felt their breath on his face, severe frostbite in his fingers, and a fire that destroyed all of his equipment and nearly burned him alive. Complementing the sheer adrenaline of Horn's narrative are the isolated but touching human encounters the adventurer has with the hardy individuals who inhabit one of the remotest corners of the earth. From an Inuit who teaches him how to build an igloo to an elderly Russian left behind when the Soviets evacuated his remote Arctic town, Horn finds camaraderie, kindness, and assistance to help him survive the most unforgiving conditions. This awe-inspiring account is a page-turner and an Arctic survival tale in one. Most of all, it's a testament to one man's unrelenting desire to push the boundaries of human endurance.

A REAL LIFE STORY A Journey of faith – Believing in the impossible! CHAPTER – 01 – Far from the truth Year 1990: Mozarilma Maurício Maia, she was better known as Moza. At the time, he dreamed of marrying a rich, handsome man and spending his honeymoon in the Caribbean islands. On the other hand, as time went by, part of his family, as mentioned above, entered the process of conversion to Christianity, where first his mother and then part of his sisters. Anyway, in the face of all this movement that began with his family, it could be said that it was already God s work; In fact, there was already a kind of pride about Moza s life, if not an excessive conjuncture of the false appearance of grandeur, so the feeling of contempt for family and friends became apparent, since she only wanted to be close to people that had a better financial condition. During this period, Moza had been working for some time in a company called - Duarte & Representações Ltda. “DUCOR”, however, his behavior became such a boundless and unprecedented vanity, rose to his heart more than arrogance and arrogance, something much greater, because his particular world was only a small closed cycle of less of ten people, which could not be called friendship. But Moza also observed that one by one of his family members were converting to the Gospel of Christ. Thus, when she is at home, living together becomes increasingly difficult with her family, that is, both the sisters and her mother, because, constantly, during domestic or personal chores, gospel music was common”. And also sang along, and that would make Moza apparently angry and angry, first, because she didn t accept it, and second, because he believed it was a way to provoke her. So, motivated by the cause of the indifferent situation, Moza decided to spend as little time as possible at home, choosing, therefore, when it came to Fridays, that is, after the end of working hours used to schedule several outings with her friends from the most often Benair and Manair.
