Book Description
The oppositions our life entails can make us or break us! This trilogy—Be a Blessing, Be Whatever It Takes, and Be Excellent—is a series of inspirational guidance that will catapult anyone to the next level in whatever it is our heart yearns for, but only if we are willing to receive it. Society stipulates that you cannot do this or that, that you’re not smart enough, that you’re not good enough, or that you are not the right fit. But through whose focal point are we looking to see who we really are? Through the series of events in the history of my life, this is my story of courage, will, and strength. Although kicked down and stricken with many illnesses and challenges, there is always a fight in you. If we want something different to happen in our life, we will have to be willing to do something different to get it! Here’s the thing—we live on borrowed time. The excellent creator whom orchestrated our success story didn’t just put us on this earth without guidance. He has gifted mankind with a blueprint that will take work in obedience to obtain it. Success is spelled W-O-R-K!

Excellent Sheep
Author: William Deresiewicz
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 147670273X
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 272
Book Description
A groundbreaking manifesto about what our nation’s top schools should be—but aren’t—providing: “The ex-Yale professor effectively skewers elite colleges, their brainy but soulless students (those ‘sheep’), pushy parents, and admissions mayhem” (People). As a professor at Yale, William Deresiewicz saw something that troubled him deeply. His students, some of the nation’s brightest minds, were adrift when it came to the big questions: how to think critically and creatively and how to find a sense of purpose. Now he argues that elite colleges are turning out conformists without a compass. Excellent Sheep takes a sharp look at the high-pressure conveyor belt that begins with parents and counselors who demand perfect grades and culminates in the skewed applications Deresiewicz saw firsthand as a member of Yale’s admissions committee. As schools shift focus from the humanities to “practical” subjects like economics, students are losing the ability to think independently. It is essential, says Deresiewicz, that college be a time for self-discovery when students can establish their own values and measures of success in order to forge their own paths. He features quotes from real students and graduates he has corresponded with over the years, candidly exposing where the system is broken and offering clear solutions on how to fix it. “Excellent Sheep is likely to make…a lasting mark….He takes aim at just about the entirety of upper-middle-class life in America….Mr. Deresiewicz’s book is packed full of what he wants more of in American life: passionate weirdness” (The New York Times).

Excellence: Can We Be Equal And Excellent Too?
Author: Dr. John W. Gardner
Publisher: Pickle Partners Publishing
ISBN: 1786256177
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 197
Book Description
This is a book about excellence, more particularly about the conditions under which excellence is possible in our kind of society; but it is also—inevitably—a book about equality, about the kinds of equality that can and must be honored, and the kinds that cannot be forced. Such a book must raise some questions which Americans have shown little inclination to discuss rationally. What are the characteristic difficulties a democracy encounters in pursuing excellence? Is there a way out of these difficulties? How equal do we want to be? How equal can we be? What do we mean when we say, “Let the best man win”? Can an equalitarian society tolerate winners? Are we overproducing highly educated people? How much talent can the society absorb? Does society owe a living to talent? Does talent invariably have a chance to exhibit itself in our society? Does every young American have a “right” to a college education? Are we headed toward domination by an intellectual elite? Is it possible for a people to achieve excellence if they don’t believe in anything? Have the American people lost their sense of purpose and the drive which would make it possible for them to achieve excellence?

Identity Excellence
Author: Perry L. Glanzer
Publisher: Rowman & Littlefield
ISBN: 147586549X
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 185
Book Description
American higher education—historically and inherently—is a morally formative endeavor. Yet, in order to respond to America’s moral pluralism, higher education has increasingly taken a reductionistic approach to moral formation. Consequently, it abandoned the effort to supply students with moral expertise. Current approaches help students learn how to be excellent professionals and citizens, but they fail to provide the necessary tools for living the good life—in college and beyond. Identity Excellence: A Theory of Moral Expertise for Higher Education addresses this problem by setting forth a multi-disciplinary theory of moral expertise for fostering moral excellence in an array of important identities. To this end, it teases apart the essential elements of what it means to be excellent in an identity before discussing the philosophical, sociological, psychological, and educational processes necessary for students to internalize traditions of identity excellence as part of their own moral identities. Overall, the emergent theory exposes the shortcomings in contemporary general education, professional ethics, and co-curricular education. Finally, this book sets forth a bold but compelling vision for a more hopeful future for American higher education. As outlined within, such education involves teaching students’ excellence in the Great Identities, as well as how to prioritize and integrate their pursuit of identity excellence.
