Looking back to those days of old, ere the gate shut behind me, I can see now that to children with a proper equipment of parents these things would have worn a different aspect. But to those whose nearest were aunts and uncles, a special attitude of mind may be allowed. They treated us, indeed, with kindness enough as to the needs of the flesh, but after that with indifference (an indifference, as I recognise, the result of a certain stupidity), and therewith the commonplace conviction that your child is merely animal. At a very early age I remember realising in a quite impersonal and kindly way the existence of that stupidity, and its tremendous influence in the world; while there grew up in me, as in the parallel case of Caliban upon Setebos, a vague sense of a ruling power, wilful and freakish, and prone to the practice of vagaries--"just choosing so:" as, for instance, the giving of authority over us to these hopeless and incapable creatures, when it might far more reasonably have been given to ourselves over them. These elders, our betters by a trick of chance, commanded no respect, but only a certain blend of envy--of their good luck--and pity--for their inability to make use of it. Indeed, it was one of the most hopeless features in their character (when we troubled ourselves to waste a thought on them: which wasn't often) that, having absolute licence to indulge in the pleasures of life, they could get no good of it. They might dabble in the pond all day, hunt the chickens, climb trees in the most uncompromising Sunday clothes; they were free to issue forth and buy gunpowder in the full eye of the sun--free to fire cannons and explode mines on the lawn: yet they never did any one of these things. No irresistible Energy haled them to church o' Sundays; yet they went there regularly of their own accord, though they betrayed no greater delight in the experience than ourselves. On the whole, the existence of these Olympians seemed to be entirely void of interests, even as their movements were confined and slow, and their habits stereotyped and senseless. To anything but appearances they were blind. For them the orchard (a place elf-haunted, wonderful!) simply produced so many apples and cherries: or it didn't, when the failures of Nature were not infrequently ascribed to us. They never set foot within fir-wood or hazel-copse, nor dreamt of the marvels hid therein. The mysterious sources--sources as of old Nile--that fed the duck-pond had no magic for them. They were unaware of Indians, nor recked they anything of bisons or of pirates (with pistols!), though the whole place swarmed with such portents. They cared not about exploring for robbers' caves, nor digging for hidden treasure. Perhaps, indeed, it was one of their best qualities that they spent the greater part of their time stuffily indoors. To be sure, there was an exception in the curate, who would receive unblenching the information that the meadow beyond the orchard was a prairie studded with herds of buffalo, which it was our delight, moccasined and tomahawked, to ride down with those whoops that announce the scenting of blood. He neither laughed nor sneered, as the Olympians would have done; but possessed of a serious idiosyncrasy, he would contribute such lots of valuable suggestion as to the pursuit of this particular sort of big game that, as it seemed to us, his mature age and eminent position could scarce have been attained without a practical knowledge of the creature in its native lair. Then, too, he was always ready to constitute himself a hostile army or a band of marauding Indians on the shortest possible notice: in brief, a distinctly able man, with talents, so far as we could judge, immensely above the majority. I trust he is a bishop by this time,--he had all the necessary qualifications, as we knew.These strange folk had visitors sometimes,--stiff and colourless Olympians like themselves, equally without vital interests and intelligent pursuits: emerging out of the clouds, and passing away again to drag on an aimless existence somewhere out of our ken. Then brute force was pitilessly applied. We were captured, washed, and forced into clean collars: silently submitting, as was our wont, with more contempt than anger. Anon, with unctuous hair and faces stiffened in a conventional grin, we sat and listened to the usual platitudes. How could reasonable people spend their precious time so? That was ever our wonder as we bounded forth at last--to the old clay-pit to make pots, or to hunt bears among the hazels. It was incessant matter for amazement how these Olympians would talk over our heads--during meals, for instance--of this or the other social or political inanity, under the delusion that these pale phantasms of reality were among the importances of life. We illuminati, eating silently, our heads full of plans and conspiracies, could have told them what real life was. We had just left it outside

THE MAN WHO "THOUGHT" HIS WAY INTO PARTNERSHIP WITH THOMAS A. EDISON ??TRULY, "thoughts are things," and powerful things at that, when they are mixed with de?niteness of purpose, persistence, and a BURNING DESIRE for their translation into riches, or other material objects. ??A little more than thirty years ago, Edwin C. Barnes discovered how true it is that men really do THINK AND GROW RICH. His discovery did not come about at one sitting. It came little by little, beginning with a BURNING DESIRE to become a business associate of the great Edison. ??Somewhere, as you read, the secret to which I refer will jump from the page and stand boldly before you, IF YOU ARE READY FOR IT! When it appears, you will recognize it. Whether you receive the sign in the ?rst or the last chapter, stop for a moment when it presents itself, and turn down a glass, for that occasion will mark the most important turning-point of your life. ??Remember, too, as you go through the book, that it deals with facts and not with ?ction, its purpose being to convey a great universal truth through which all who are READY may learn, not only WHAT TO DO, BUT ALSO HOW TO DO IT! and receive, as well, THE NEEDED STIMULUS TO MAKE A START. ??IN EVERY chapter of this book, mention has been made of the money-making secret which has made fortunes for more than ?ve hundred exceedingly wealthy men whom I have carefully analyzed over a long period of years. ??The secret was brought to my attention by Andrew Carnegie, more than a quarter of a century ago. The canny, lovable old Scotsman carelessly tossed it into my mind, when I was but a boy. Then he sat back in his chair, with a merry twinkle in his eyes, and watched carefully to see if I had brains enough to understand the full signi?cance of what he had said to me. ??When he saw that I had grasped the idea, he asked if I would be willing to spend twenty years or more, preparing myself to take it to the world, to men and women who, without the secret, might go through life as failures. I said I would, and with Mr. Carnegie’s cooperation, I have kept my promise. ??This book contains the secret, after having been put to a practical test by thou-sands of people, in almost every walk of life. It was Mr. Carnegie’s idea that the magic formula, which gave him a stupendous fortune, ought to be placed within reach of people who do not have time to investigate how men make money, and it was his hope that I might test and demonstrate the soundness of the formula through the experience of men and women in every calling.

      关于人类自己，我们有着太多的好奇。为什么人会有欲望？是什么动机促使我们挑战这样或是那样的困难？动机总是一个一个，好像无休无止，自我实现真的可以被满足吗？甚至，我们还会想知道，我们可以成为什么，我们想要成为什么？      这些对自我行为与心理的探索，对内在人性的疑问和剖析，在这本《动机与人格》里已经行了充分的表述。当代伟大的心理学家、人本心理学的奠基人马斯洛在书中提出了许多精彩的观，详细探讨了自我实现这个概念，创造性地提出了人本心理学科学观的理论、需要层次论、元动机理论、心理治疗理论、高峰体验理论等重要观，以解答我们对人性的疑问，帮助我们从心理动机的角度，了解个人自我实现的需求。      实现内在动机的关键，在于认清内心自我实现的需求，抵御外部力量的裹挟。简单来说，就是只要你想，你就可以活出你自己想要成为的样子。

    当我们受挫的时候，是否怀疑过自己能不能成功；当我们成功的时候，是否思考过自己能不能做得更好；当我们迷茫的时候，又有没有想过自己为什么要做这件事？自我实现的渴望激励人们不断去探索高峰、探索人性能到达的境界。     在这本书里，马斯洛深度探讨了自我实现与超越、男性和女性的认知、教育的目标和意义以及社会与个人的协同作用。他颠覆性地提出了超越性动机，带你领悟自我实现的高峰体验。     现代生活中工作和教育的压力，让人们渐渐失去对于自我实现的自主性，厌烦情绪膨胀，工作和学习自然难以取得令人满意的结果。马斯洛所提出的以兴趣、爱好为代表的心理动机，对人类自我实现的意义却远超所有人的想象，是时候把自主权重新掌握在自己手里了，人性能到达的境界，取决于你想到达的境界。

Milyen az igazi férfi? Milyen az igazi, hiteles férfi? ?s hogyan válhat valaki azzá? El?bb-utóbb minden kamasz fiú szembe találja magát ezzel a kérdéssel, majd a problémával, hogy magára hagyatottan bolyong a feln?tté válás r?g?s útján. Hiányoznak a hiteles apai minták, mik?zben alig-alig lát túl a reklámok, a férfimagazinok, a tévém?sorok, a pornófilmek fogyasztásra buzdító, kaotikus világán. F?RFI cím? k?nyvében Dr. Csernus Imre a feln?tt olvasókat igyekezett ráébreszteni, hogyan változtathatnak az életük?n, ha nem jó irányba haladnak. A k?tet ifjúsági, srácoknak szóló kiadása, melyet kezében tart az olvasó, a 14?20 év k?z?tti korosztálynak szolgál útmutatóul. A szerz? sorra veszi mindazon problémákat, amelyekkel manapság egy fiatal fiúnak meg kell küzdenie, legyen szó a szüleihez f?z?d? kapcsolatáról, a lányokról, a szexr?l, a drogokról, a barátairól, a tanulásról, az autókról, a pénzr?l, az okostelefonokról, a média sugallta példaképekr?l vagy a Facebookról. Hogyan tanulhatnak meg hallgatni az érzéseikre? Hogyan vállalhatnak felel?sséget sorsukért? Hogyan válhat bel?lük boldog, ?nmagukhoz h? feln?tt? Dr. Csernus Imre ebben a k?nyvében sem a leveg?be beszél: tanácsai olykor mellbevágóak és provokatívak, de mindig elgondolkodtatóak. Ha van hozzá fülünk, egy ?szintébb, kiegyensúlyozottabb élet kialakításához adnak kulcsot. Dr. Csernus Imre pszichiáter Bevállalja? cím? szókimondó m?sorával robbant be a k?ztudatba. ?vekig kezelt súlyos drogfügg?ket, manapság rendelései mellett el?adásokat tart, és borászkodik. Ez a k?tete A F?RFI cím? sikerk?nyvének b?vített és a fiatalabb korosztály számára átdolgozott változata.

Papa Cardinal and his chicks huddled in a rose bush. Raindrops splish-sploshed all around them.

"Hello. How are you?" "I am fine. How are you?"

After living in the Midwest most of my fifty-plus years, I moved to the beautiful northwest state of Washington. My son and his wife lived in the Seattle area, and they were expecting my first grandchild. Despite the fact that I left my friends in Colorado by choice, it was no less difficult making new friends in the town in which I was residing.
