This book is an introspective look at the influence war, love and religion has on man.

Excerpt Details
I have come to believe: what it is to be a man is not something rigid. Every generation has its war and every thousand has its God. For every new generation, babies are born from union and raised in every variation. The boy becomes man by culture, tradition, religion or war. Some men become so by choice and some do not live to become men at all. These men may grow and progress through life yet find themselves trapped in the shadows listlessly searching for something they cannot even name....

Η ζωή των διασήμων ανθρώπων αποκαλύπτει ότι οι καλές και άσχημες εποχές στη ζωή τους εναλλάχθησαν από καλές σε άσχημες και αντιστρόφως, σύμφωνα με έναν ορισμένο τρόπο. Το σπουδαιότερο όμως είναι ότι και των απλών ανθρώπων οι εποχές εναλλάσσονται σύμφωνα με τον ίδιο τρόπο, όπως θα δήτε στο βιβλίο.

23. Η Εκπληκτική Ανακάλυψη Από τις εναλλαγές των καλών και άσχημων εποχών στη ζωή των διασήμων ανθρώπων που είδαμε σ’ αυτό το βιβλίο, πολύ σημαντικές παρατηρήσεις εξάγονται. Αρχίζουμε με τις εναλλαγές των καλών και άσχημων εποχών στη ζωή του Μπετόβεν. Όπως είδαμε στο 1ο κεφάλαιο, οι καλές και άσχημες εποχές του εναλλάχθησαν στις χρονολογίες 1776, 1792, 1809 και 1825. Ανάμεσα σε κάθε μία απ’ αυτές τις χρονολογίες υπάρχουν 16-17 χρόνια. Όμως αυτή η εναλλαγή των εποχών κάθε 16-17 χρόνια συμβαίνει στη ζωή όλων των ανδρών και γυναικών που είδαμε σ’ αυτό το βιβλίο. Του μεγάλου Ιταλού συνθέτη Τζουζέππε Βέρντι, για παράδειγμα, οι καλές και άσχημες εποχές της ζωής του εναλλάχθησαν στις χρονολογίες 1842, 1859, 1875, και 1892 (όπως είδαμε στο 2ο κεφάλαιο). Κι εδώ, ανάμεσα σε κάθε μία απ’ αυτές τις χρονολογίες υπάρχουν πάντοτε 16-17 χρόνια. Επίσης, του διάσημου Ισπανού ζωγράφου Πάμπλο Πικάσσο οι καλές και άσχημες εποχές της ζωής του εναλλάχθησαν στις χρονολογίες 1892, 1908, 1925, 1941, 1957, όπως είδαμε. Κι εδώ επίσης, ανάμεσα σε κάθε μία απ’ αυτές τις χρονολογίες υπάρχουν πάντοτε 16-17 χρόνια. Το ίδιο συμβαίνει με τις εποχές όλων ...

Description Details
Famous people’s lives reveal that the good and bad seasons in their lives alternated from good to bad and vice versa according to a certain pattern. A good season has given its place to a bad one at a certain moment, and a bad season has given its place to a good one also at a certain moment – and so on. Great German composer Ludwig van Beethoven, for example, went through a bad period of his life around the age of 32 because he had become totally deaf. Contemplating suicide, he wrote his will. But later, at a certain point indicated in this book, he overcame his hearing problem, was recognized as one of the greatest composers of all time –he wrote nine insuperable symphonies– and became a celebrated member of Viennese society. Napoleon provides another such an example. During the years 1792 to 1809, he conquered almost all of Europe, was crowned Emperor of France, and lived a life full of grandeur, triumph, and success. But then things reversed, at an also certain point indicated in this book: Napoleon lost all he had achieved, he was defeated at the Battle of Waterloo, and he was exiled ultimately to the remote island of ...

Chapter 23. The Astonishing Discovery From the alternations of the good and bad seasons in the lives of the famous people we’ve seen in this book, very important observations are extracted. We start with Beethoven’s alternations of good and bad seasons. As we’ve seen in Chapter 1, his good and bad seasons alternated in 1776, 1792, 1809 and 1825. Between one of these dates there are 16-17 years. This alternation every 16-17 years happens however, in the lives of all people we’ve seen in this book. Great Italian composer Verdi’s for example, good and bad seasons in his life, alternated in 1842, 1859, 1875 and 1892 (as we’ve seen in Chapter 2). Again, between one of these dates there are constantly 16-17 years. Also famous Spanish painter Pablo Picasso’s good and bad seasons alternated in 1892, 1908, 1925, 1941, 1957, as we’ve seen, and also between each one of these dates there are constantly 16-17 years. The same happens with the seasons of all other people we’ve seen in this book, as you can recall. Between their dates of seasonal alternations there is a constant distance of 16-17 years. This observation consists the f...

Гомо-сапиенс — рациональное животное озабоченное выживанием. Ему нужны здоровье и счастье. Он читает книги о том, как быстро добиться успеха и разбогатеть. Или вообще не читает. Человек — творец, он стремится стать лучше и сделать лучше окружающий мир. Ему нужны идеалы, он ищет ответы на вечные вопросы. Эта книга для людей, а точнее для подрастающего поколения. Ее автор — создатель «обьективной этики», моральной системы предлагающей наиболее правдоподобное обьяснение мира и помогающей найти упомянутые ответы. Книга повторяет структуру авторского видеоблога — она состоит из 36 бесед, которые могут послужить чтением на досуге или, предпочтительнее, быть использованы в качестве пособия по саморазвитию. Текст каждой беседы желательно внимательно прочесть, обдумать доводы за и против, а также по возможности обсудить с кем-нибудь дабы сформировать собственное обоснованное мнение....

Quoi, qui, où, quand, pourquoi, et comment sont probablement les questions immédiates auxquelles vous souhaitez avoir une réponse si vous lisez cet essai. Si vous avez lu la section intitulée Ma vie, je suppose que vous avez déjà une idée concernant les quatre premières questions et que vous êtes plus intéressé par les deux dernières. Permettez-moi de commencer en disant qu'il n'y a pas de réponse simple et claire à aucune de ces questions. Mais, avant d'aborder les questions susmentionnées, j'aimerais profiter de l'occasion pour dire un mot sur qu'est cet essai, c'est-à-dire quel genre ou quelle forme d'essai s'agit-il, en plus d'être philosophique en termes de contenu. En ce qui concerne la forme, il comprend deux volets. Tout d'abord, il s'agit d'un essai dialectique. Sur les nombreux sujets abordés, je présente une thèse - bref mais au point - et un argument. Ensuite, je tente de m'opposer à mon propre argument, auquel j'oppose un contre-argument, mais je contrebalance le contre-argument avec un argument final et nouveau. C'est une technique appelée stratégie du dragon chinois. Deuxièmement, l'essai est critique. Comme le travai...

Est-ce que Ma vie, Premiers poèmes, Poèmes philosophiques est un travail philosophique? Avant d'approfondir l'analyse philosophique du travail d'Ackermann, il convient de définir ce qui rend quelque chose ou, dans notre cas, ce qui rend un travail littéraire philosophique. Mais pour détecter une orientation ou un aspect philosophique dans quelque chose, il faut tout d'abord savoir ce qu'est la philosophie. Vous et moi savons déjà ce que la philosophie implique, mais avant d'aller plus loin, récapitulons-nous un peu. Par définition, la philosophie signifie trois choses: d'abord, étymologiquement, la philosophie est l'amour de la sagesse - du grec: philo = amour, et sophia = sagesse, connaissance. Deuxièmement, elle regroupe tout ce qui traite et peut nous aider à comprendre la signification de la vie, de la connaissance, de la vérité et de la nature, etc. Troisièmement, elle regroupe tout ce qui peut être considéré comme une méthode servant à accomplir quelque chose ou une façon de vivre nos vies, c'est-à-dire un principe directeur. Que ce soit pour nous aider à acquérir la sagesse et la connaissance, comprendre des concepts importan...

What is the secret of one of the most powerful men who ever lived? Solomon, son of King David, was the third king of Israel and lived during the tenth century BC. He became famous because of his great wisdom and wealth, higher than any other king on earth who lived before and after him. His reign was long (about 40 years), full of peace and prosperity. And even without war, he received the voluntary tribute of all neighboring kingdoms (according to some chronologies, 971-931 BC). Today, we studied the route and the history of all those who achieve success, regardless of their area of expertise. And we can learn about their methods and strategies that led them to achieve success. However, I consider fundamental: study the life and work of one of the most successful men ever.Harv Eker in his book "Secrets of the Millionaire Mind" reveals that when he was in a particularly difficult time, received the following advice that changed his life: "If you thought the way rich people do and did what rich people do, do you believe you ...
