From elementary reading, through systematic skimming and inspectional reading, to speed reading and beyond, readers will learn when and how to “judge a book by its cover,” perceive structure no matter the prose, read critically, and extract the author’s message from the text.Īlso included are specific reading techniques that work best for reading particular genres, whether they be practical books, imaginative literature, plays, poetry, history, science and mathematics, philosophy, or social science works. Originally written in 1940 and first published by Simon & Schuster in 1972, How to Read a Book introduces and elucidates the various levels of reading and how to achieve them in order to gain the most understanding and insight from any book. With more than half a million paperback copies in print and now in this stunning hardcover keepsake edition, How to Read a Book is the classic and definitive guide to reading comprehension and retention for students of literature, scholars across disciplines, and anyone who just loves to read. What was the model that was propounded by Stephen Covey in his mega-famous book? We shall begin by trying to understand his model first, and then interpret it in such a way that it pertains to every aspect of our life less The only thing is that you have to understand these ideals and try to implement them in your life.īut, before we barge into that area, it is extremely important to understand what these ideals are. If you implement it, there should be no aspect of your life that should go untouched. We are trying to show you how Covey’s book, or rather, his model, was a complete model in itself. There are hidden implications in this book, yes, and a lot of people have just failed to see through them. They do not understand that Covey was trying to tell more than he wrote in words. If you ask them what the seven habits are, they can rattle them off end to end, but then they miss the larger picture. These are people who are impressed by the book already. The second problem is that a lot of people have a myopic view of Covey’s ideals. Or, they take the information and do not make the effort to actually utilize it so that it becomes knowledge for them. They do not realize that this book contains life-changing information. They consider his masterpiece of a book as a mere coffee-table book or a book that you use for light reading when you are traveling and then forget all about it. The first problem is that most people are too lazy to implement the ideals of Stephen Covey in their lives. There are two main problems here, and we are talking only about the people who have read the book already. Now, I am not saying that by using Covey’s model, or anyone else’s model for that matter, you can become a sure-shot success, but at least we should have seen many more successes around us already judging by the number of copies the book has sold! So, where is the shortcoming? This is definitely true because we still see so much failure all around us. This book was wonderful education for people, education in how to live life effectively and get closer to the ideal of being a ‘success’ in life.īut not everyone understands Stephen Covey’s model fully well, or maybe there are some people who haven’t read it yet. When Stephen Covey first released The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People, the book became an instant rage because people suddenly got up and took notice that their lives were headed off in the wrong direction and more than that, they realized that there were so many simple things they could do in order to navigate their life correctly.

Getting drenched: Getting wet usually isn’t a big deal.The wind will catch these tents and blow them away like a kite. Tent being blown away: Some tents aren’t very aerodynamic.Never pitch your tent under dead or weak branches! Widow-maker trees: These are tree branches which fall down onto your tent and potentially kill you.On top of lightning, there are also these risks of camping in a thunderstorm: And camping in an open field with tent poles practically calling out to the lightning certainly doesn’t help the situation. In certain areas, the chance of getting hit by lightning is much higher. However, that doesn’t mean getting struck by lightning doesn’t happen. There is no shortage of facts that tell you things like, “the chance of getting struck by lightning is 1 in a million.” That leads us to the question… Is it safe to camp during a thunderstorm? When the storm is still far away, you’ll see the lightning first because light travels faster than sound. For each 5 seconds between them, the storm is 1 mile away. As lightning and thunder blasts get closer together, you will know that the storm is right overhead.įun fact: Count the time between the lightning and thunder. Suddenly, you’ll start doubting your tent (I’m surprised how well my cheap ultralight tent held up throughout storms). It gets LOUD in the tent.Īs the thunderstorm approaches, the wind gets stronger. It gets under the tent rain fly and makes it flap back and forth violently. The wind starts blowing hard against the tent. When a storm is brewing, the wind will build up around you. I need to remain calm and composed so she doesn’t freak out. Of course, I’m not allowed to show my fear because I camp with my young daughter. I’m not going to lie: it is mildly terrifying to camp during thunderstorms. On one backpacking trip, it even HAILED for a period! Thunderstorms Camping are Scary! However, camping in a thunderstorm is a completely different story. Over the years, I’ve camped in the rain many times (and written tips on how to camp in the rain here).

In addition to showcasing marvelous interpretations of songs by James Brown and Billy Strayhorn, it also revealed McFerrin to be an engaging composer through such infectious songs as “The Jump,” and “I’m My Own Walkman.”Ī year later, his guest appearance on “Another Night In Tunisia” from the Manhattan Transfer’s LP, Vocalese, earned McFerrin his first two GRAMMY Awards. His 1984 sophomore LP, The Voice, marked the first time a jazz singer recorded an entire album without any accompaniment or overdubbing. McFerrin’s reputation as an ingenious and fearless virtuoso grew. He contorted his four-octave voice in an array of colors, textures and improvisational shapes, liberating the role of a jazz singer. But his artistry sounded fresh and fully developed. McFerrin was 31 years old when he released his debut LP in 1982. And in 1980, he toured with the iconic jazz singer, Jon Hendricks.

What a sourpuss attitude! We can’t please everyone but that shouldn’t keep us from sharing our excitement and being happy about something so I decided that I wasn’t going to let their opinions stop me. I can’t to tell you how many posts I read that discouraged women from telling coworkers or sharing the “excitement” at work saying it was inappropriate and could offend others that really couldn’t care less.

At lower levels if you can be bothered spending the time, spend the Transwarps for more probes on a weekly basis to speed up vidar upgrades.
