Young Achievers

The full purpose of this work is to expose the young minds to different scenarios, open their minds to critical thinking practices, and allow the children to preemptively envision a scenario in order for them to better deal with real-life problem situations. Additionally, the critical thinking process allows for youth to better acclimate to the adult world in which they're not readily exposed. This allows for greater preparedness to make decisions in a volatile environment, which best simulates the real world. the power of critical thinking is the essence. We need to empower all people to exercise their mind to apply critical thinking behind their decision-making processes. Given the power of choice, one feels liberation of the mind to take charge of oneself.

Has this generation missed the path of achievers?, Has this generation lossed the inner enrichment that enhances the outer world?, what is the greatest discovery of all time? - These and many other questions are answered in this book. The purpose of this book is to help with the attainment of inner- balance and inner -serenity in our day to day activities. We live in a generation that everything moves so fast, so much so that we seem to have lossed that inner drive that produces great achievers due to focusing on the 'outer world'; Young achievers seeks to stir in you this all- important principle of 'Living Life Inside Out.' Above all is to help the youths to discover themselves and connect with the 'higher self' for greater achievement in Life. The book examines man's travel to the moon, the discovery of oil, the making of airplanes along with many more great achievements, BUT the greatest discovery in the history of man is self-discovery. When you discover yourself, you know who you are and you can achieve anything in Life. When you know who you are, is going to help you know exactly what to do in Life; you will maintain focus and also help you to live a decent and balanced life. 'Young Achievers' discloses that all the great achievers in life realized the treasure within before they went ahead to achieve great things. It goes on to explain that inside every man lies the slumbering power and potential to be whatever they want to be and to achieve whatever they want to achieve in life. Self discovery is the DNA of self-enlightenment. it also states when an 'error' is planted in the mind of the youth he or she will doubtless do things without even knowing why he or she is doing them - chapter two talks about mounting guard on our minds ; controlling the thoughts we allow into the fertile ground of our minds - we compared the mind to a fertile garden in that if we take care of this garden by way of nurturing and cultivating it will blossom and give us results beyond our expectation. We also talked about the power of the mind and citing that the secret of great achievers has been their ability to harness and unlock the potential of their minds. The mind gives back to anyone what he ask for, meaning the mind can be conditioned by a technique we call 'programming' - by that we programme the mind to be seasoned for greater works. The big idea we seek to share with the youth is that they can create whatever they want in their lives through the use of the life giving principle of 'living life inside out'. Life is best lived when it is lived inside out. Various techniques are revealed to help youths and anyone live their live's inside out.

The Purpose of this book is to help the youths to attain inner balance and serenity in their day to day activities because we live in an age where everything appears to be fast paced. This generation seems to be losing the inner harmony that produces great achievers. Young achievers seek to stir in youths this all- important way of Living. Above all, the book's purpose is to help youths discover themselves and connect with the 'higher self' for greater achievement in Life. This is a book that seeks to show young people the greatest discovery in the history of man. The book examines man's travel to the moon, the discovery of oil, the making of airplanes along with many more great achievements, BUT the greatest discovery in the history of man is self-discovery. When you discover yourself, you know who you are and you can achieve anything in Life. As a young person, when you know who you are, is going to help you know exactly what to do in Life; you will maintain focus and also help you to live a decent and balanced life. 'Young Achievers' discloses that all the great achievers in life realized the treasure within before they went ahead to achieve great things. It goes on to explain that inside every man lies the slumbering power and potential to be whatever they want to be and to achieve whatever they want to achieve in life. Self discovery is the DNA of self-enlightenment. When an error is planted in the mind of the youth he or she will doubtlessly do things without even knowing why he or she is doing them. So in chapter two we seek to tell the youths to be watchful of the information or thoughts in their mind because these thoughts will go a long way to give them challenges and cause them to do things that they do not really want to do. We compare the mind to a fertile garden: if the youth takes care of this garden by way of nurturing it and cultivating, it will blossom and give him or her results beyond his or her imagination. We also talked about the power of the mind by illustrating that as the secret of the minds that have been able to achieve great things in the world. The mind gives to anyone what he ask for; by - that we mean the mind can be conditioned by a technique we call 'programming'. We can programme the mind to be seasoned for greater works: to unplug or uncover the potentialities that lie there.

Place- and community-based education – an approach to teaching and learning that starts with the local – addresses two critical gaps in the experience of many children now growing up in the United States: contact with the natural world and contact with community. It offers a way to extend young people’s attention beyond the classroom to the world as it actually is, and to engage them in the process of devising solutions to the social and environmental problems they will confront as adults. This approach can increase students’ engagement with learning and enhance their academic achievement. Envisioned as a primer and guide for educators and members of the public interested in incorporating the local into schools in their own communities, this book explains the purpose and nature of place- and community-based education and provides multiple examples of its practice. The detailed descriptions of learning experiences set both within and beyond the classroom will help readers begin the process of advocating for or incorporating local content and experiences into their schools.

Like the canaries that alerted miners to a poisonous atmosphere, issues of race point to underlying problems in society that ultimately affect everyone, not just minorities. Addressing these issues is essential. Ignoring racial differences--race blindness--has failed. Focusing on individual achievement has diverted us from tackling pervasive inequalities. Now, in a powerful and challenging book, Lani Guinier and Gerald Torres propose a radical new way to confront race in the twenty-first century. Given the complex relationship between race and power in America, engaging race means engaging standard winner-take-all hierarchies of power as well. Terming their concept political race, Guinier and Torres call for the building of grass-roots, cross-racial coalitions to remake those structures of power by fostering public participation in politics and reforming the process of democracy. Their illuminating and moving stories of political race in action include the coalition of Hispanic and black leaders who devised the Texas Ten Percent Plan to establish equitable state college admissions criteria, and the struggle of black workers in North Carolina for fair working conditions that drew on the strength and won the support of the entire local community. The aim of political race is not merely to remedy racial injustices, but to create truly participatory democracy, where people of all races feel empowered to effect changes that will improve conditions for everyone. In a book that is ultimately not only aspirational but inspirational, Guinier and Torres envision a social justice movement that could transform the nature of democracy in America.
