All the Right Words by Ryan Cowley Pdf

Since early childhood, I was a person who stutters (PWS). I also loved hockey and writing. Growing up as a PWS came with its share of challenges. I was bullied, mocked, doubted, and even dismissed because I had considerable difficulty speaking. These were catalysts to long-term depression, leading me to doubt myself as a successful person. As an escape, I would write. While I loved writing stories and screenplays, nothing gave me more pleasure than writing about my favourite teams and players, commenting on their victories and even defeats. It wasn't until I was an adult, though, that I wanted to be a regular sportswriter. Unfortunately, due to being a PWS, I couldn't conduct phone or in-person interviews. Or so I thought. For years, I had limited myself due to my stutter. However, during a dark time in my life, I decided that something needed to change. With new, creative methods, I gave interviewing a try. Lo and behold, it worked. Since then, I have interviewed hundreds in the sports industry while having the privilege of covering some major events and writing for some major platforms. In this book, I take you on my journey as a sportswriter who stutters. This includes some important people in my life who helped me achieve what I've always wanted to on a journey filled with its share of sadness and frustration but also perseverance and vindication. I hope you enjoy reading my story as much as I've enjoyed telling it. Read on and enjoy!

How to Find the Right Words by THE SCHOOL OF LIFE. Pdf

Twenty case studies explaining how to gently deliver a range of life's most awkward messages while causing minimal harm. Life constantly requires us to give other people some hugely awkward messages: that we don't love them anymore; that we do love them (though we're not meant to); that they smell a bit; that they're fired; that we're furious with them (though we adore them) or that their music is too loud... Often, out of embarrassment, we just stay quiet. Occasionally we explode. And typically, we stumble about, looking for the right words - dreading that we didn't find them and thereby causing more hurt than we should. This is a book to help us locate the best possible words to get across a range of life's most difficult messages. With twenty case studies drawn from relationships, friendships, work, our families, and social situations, we are gently shown what we might - in an ideal world - find ourselves saying to make our intentions known while causing minimal harm. We are guided, among other topics, to how best to end a relationship, how to make it up with a child, and how gently to let down a friend who wants more. We laugh, we recognize our troubles - and we're introduced to a range of deeply empathetic ways to navigate some of our most acute social dilemmas.

Finding the Right Words by Claudia Di Sciacca Pdf

Isidore of Seville (circa 570-636) was the author of the Etymologiae,. the most celebrated and widely circulated encyclopaedia of the western Middle Ages. In addition, Isidore's Synonyma were very successful and became one of the classics of medieval spirituality. Indeed, it was the Synonyma that were to define the so-called 'Isidorian style,' a rhymed, rhythmic prose that proved influential throughout the Middle Ages. Finding the Right Words is the first book-length study to deal with the transmission and reception of works by Isidore of Seville in Anglo-Saxon England, with a particular focus on the Synonyma. Beginning with a general survey of Isidore's life and activity as a bishop in early seventh-century Visigothic Spain, Claudia Di Sciacca offers a comprehensive introduction to the Synonyma, drawing special attention to their distinctive style. She goes on to discuss the transmission of the text to early medieval England and its 'vernacularisation,' that is, its translations and adaptations in Old English prose and verse. The case for the particular receptiveness of the Synonyma in Anglo-Saxon England is strongly supported by both a close reading of primary sources and an extensive selection of secondary literature. This rigorous, well-documented volume demonstrates the significance of the Synonyma to our understanding of the literary pretensions and pedagogical practices of Anglo-Saxon England, and offers new insights into the interaction of Latin and vernacular within its literary culture.
