Public or private, school was a place where immutable knowledge was imparted in silence and order, with respect for hierarchy and absolute submission, that is, to wear a smock, line up at the sound of the bell, stand when the headmistress or Mother Superior (but not a teaching assistant) ...
Until we consciously do something about our programmed belief system nothing much is going to change in our life. This is not a new insight. However, perhaps one of the greatest mistakes made on the search for change and transformation is ‘believing’ that changing our beliefs will do the t...
If something is meant to happen at a particular time, all heaven and earth cannot delay it. If something is not meant to happen at a particular time, all heaven and earth cannot force it to happen. This truth is very frustrating for humans. Humans like to believe they are in control of...

The truck is too big for the barge, the boat is too small to be pulling it and the wind and waves are never reliably consistent. We are living in a world now “that anything can happen” and as we are being reminded every day “people do all kinds of things” ...
When you want to change page margins, not just adjust a paragraph’s indentation, you need to create a section break where the margins change. Figure 4-19. Use section breaks to make major changes to your page format. For example, after you insert a Next Page break, you can change the...
