Three excerpts from the eight stories ... Antietam I had read the cornstalks ranged between six and ten feet high; from my perspective, the stalks looked higher. The light wind eerily swayed the late summer corn, and the first slants of daylight hit the field. The glint of the sun bouncing off the bayonets chilled my blood, and with utter fascination, I watched the Confederates move about in the green and yellow of the corn like gray ants. The Time Machine The dog grinned coyly, I know what youre thinking - maybe you can get to me - and if I were you, Id be thinking that too, but shovel or not, everything is drenched in gas, even the shovel.

You are trapped. The Last Cubicle A long pause ensured as he stared into her eyes, and then he quitely asked, Why am I sitting in the last cubicle with an angel? A sheet of paper appeared in her hand and she pointed at the letterhead. Spell D.E. Mood backwards.

Momentslife is a sequence of them. In the joyous times, the spectacular instances seem to hurry by too quickly. In the routine of everyday life, ordinary moments slip by often unnoticed. During anxious times, it is as though every minute creeps by at an agonizingly slow pace. But as Rev. Martha Ward illustrates, God is present at all times, and if we open ourselves to that reality, every moment is holy. In Holy Moments: When Life and Faith Intersect, Rev. Ward links her own personal stories and those of her family with key scriptures to illustrate the variety of ways our life events become holy moments. Her hope is that readers will use her reflections as a springboard to consider how God is present in the moments of their lives.

The New York Times bestselling authors of Switch and Made to Stick explore why certain brief experiences can jolt us and elevate us and change us—and how we can learn to create such extraordinary moments in our life and work. While human lives are endlessly variable, our most memorable positive moments are dominated by four elements: elevation, insight, pride, and connection. If we embrace these elements, we can conjure more moments that matter. What if a teacher could design a lesson that he knew his students would remember twenty years later? What if a manager knew how to create an experience that would delight customers? What if you had a better sense of how to create memories that matter for your children? This book delves into some fascinating mysteries of experience: Why we tend to remember the best or worst moment of an experience, as well as the last moment, and forget the rest. Why “we feel most comfortable when things are certain, but we feel most alive when they’re not.” And why our most cherished memories are clustered into a brief period during our youth. Readers discover how brief experiences can change lives, such as the experiment in which two strangers meet in a room, and forty-five minutes later, they leave as best friends. (What happens in that time?) Or the tale of the world’s youngest female billionaire, who credits her resilience to something her father asked the family at the dinner table. (What was that simple question?) Many of the defining moments in our lives are the result of accident or luck—but why would we leave our most meaningful, memorable moments to chance when we can create them? The Power of Moments shows us how to be the author of richer experiences.

A child who respects their teachers, classmates, and school rules is more likely to excel academically. Moreover, children with good manners tend to be more cooperative, attentive, and open to learning, enabling parents to better comprehend their child's educational needs and aspirations. Effective communication between parents and teachers is paramount in ensuring a child's academic progress, and the presence of good manners facilitates this communication.

It is essential for parents to be attuned to their child's evolving needs and emotions. Etiquette and manners serve as a compass, guiding children through these transitions while allowing parents to remain actively engaged and supportive.
