marciano guerrero - ArticlesSalman Rushdie - Parody In Midnight ChildrenIn 1981, Salman Rushdie published Midnight Children, a novel that one can say belongs to the genre of magic realism. Though the genre has been totally dominated by Latin American writers -Garcia Marquez, Juan Rulfo, Isabel Allende, and Laura Esquivel- the Indian author Rushdie holds his own. Lawrence Sterne - Life And Opinions OfThe Irishman Laurence Sterne published his bizarre novel in nine volumes, the first two appearing in 1759, and seven others following over the next 10 years. It is a humorous work, though some critics -Samuel Johnson among them- found it odd and predicted that it would not survive. Success and Self-Esteem, Success and Confidence, Success and PoiseWhile self-esteem and self-confidence are terrestrial and physical, for these attributes can be observed and apprehended by the senses. Poise is spiritual and seldom understood. A good understanding of self-esteem, confidence, and poise, lead employees to success. Success And Self-EsteemWhile self-esteem and self-confidence are terrestrial and physical, for these attributes can be observed and apprehended by the senses. Poise is spiritual and seldom understood. A fair understanding of these three concepts will guide employees on the path to success. William Of Ockham: Ockham's RazorBecause of William's emphasis on ways of knowing, many scholars refer to him as the father of modern epistemology and modern philosophy-Descartes and Kant notwithstanding. Though a medievalist philosopher, his ideas are quite relevant to the post-modern mind. Alfred Adler - School Of Individual PsychologyNot only did Adler advance some deep and interpretive psychological concepts, but he also developed a language that is still in use today. I for one have often used these terms -even without knowing of Alfred Adler- to describe inner states such as complex (Napoleon complex), inferiority feelings, inferiority complex, compensation, overcompensation, and style of life. A Writer Is Born - How To Write Fiction And Essays Every DayHaving had a career as a concert pianist, Mary Patricia gave me the best piece of advice: "Just like a concert pianist, a writer must practice. You remember how I used to practice five or six hours a day? Well-practice from now on. You must write every day." Practice has made me a writer and saved my life. About Free E-Books And Scams - Tired, Exhausted, And Ultimately Useless TricksWith the abundance of marketers asking readers to opt in and get a Free e-book, the once useful technique has reached a level of exhaustion and no longer serves a marketing purpose. What the consumer now gets is a series of scams that prey on the vulnerable. Superfreakonomics By Steven D. Levitt And Stephen J. Dubner - Book ReviewSequels often disappoint and this one is more than a disappointment-it's an undisguised effort to cash in on the success of the first work, which I understand sold over 4 million copies. Paul Coelho's The Alchemist - PseudoNeoplatonist's SoupCoelho's writing is smooth and fluid; it runs off the page at a fair pace, and you should be able to gobble it up in one sitting. Million copies of this book have been sold world-wide and if you haven't read it yet, go ahead and satisfy your curiosity. You'll make Coelho a few bucks richer with your purchase, but at the same time you'll feel like he's picked your pocket, for in the end you'll be left with nothing concrete but clichés and platitudes.
