The more I view life, the more I am convinced that it islike a journey. Everyone is on a journey, with some goingupwards, while others are headed downwards.Life's journey is a reflection of amovie with many scenes and various characters. Each character plays his or herpart and gives way. In contrast to the stage, where a character may play differentroles in various dramas at different times and occasions, life pre-sents an individual with limited chances of playing variousparts. In the real sense, it is either you are going up oryou are com-ing down.As I journey, I see interesting persons playing life's cards.Some individuals think of life in terms of jackpots. It is agame you win or lose, a game of chance. What do you thinkabout life? How does life treat you? How far is your journey?Are you descending or ascending? I do not need an answerfrom you, but I must let you know this one Truth-When I saw him, I fell at his feet as though dead. Then heplaced his right hand on me and said: "Do not be afraid. Iam the First and the Last. I am the Living One; I wasdead, and behold I am alive for ever and ever And I holdthe keys of death and Hades." (Rev-elation 1: 17-19NAS)
Cultivating Grass-Roots for Regional Development in a Globalising Economy
James Cécora
Routledge
2018
sidottu
First published in 1999. The key to successful regional development is more a personality issue than a global one, contends social economist Dr. James Cécora. With a fresh new interdisciplinary approach, Cécora tackles traditional economic theory to show that a distinct type of individual, the 'innovative entrepreneur', can do more to secure economic stability in a particular region than any multinational corporation. Arguing that global economics have spiraled out of control, Cécora builds a case for supporting and promoting the development of entrepreneurs at the local and regional level. These individuals will, he says, work at strengthening the regional economy over the long term because of their permanent attachment to a region, as well as in vested self-interest. Cécora compares the personalities of corporate managers to self-starting entrepreneurs, drawing the conclusion that the risk-taking ability of entrepreneurial types prompts more creative thinking and regionally appropriate action and solutions. This willingness to try new approaches is often a key to success.

How ordinary grass is. How sun and wind changes the green to blond and brown. How we lay across its color held, sun bathe, run or ride bicycles over its carpet. How we take little notice of its seasons, yet, grass in open spaces makes all seem extraordinary. These poems move across the flat page, layer on layer, with or without a horizon the grasses change the way we see and think about slender sheathing leaves, and flowers borne in spikelets, all the different grass species. Our expectation has no limit as lines entwine and stroke each other like a wall of light the phrases grow, leaving their music and a series of shadows.
