David was used to taking shortcuts. As a child he was a pathological liar. By the time he was 14, he had started to steal. At age 26, he was convicted of his first crime, taking clients’ funds, and sent to prison. After being released, he was convicted once again for criminal breach of trust and returned to serve his second sentence. Then in his late thirties, he stole close to $800,000 in a bank fraud, landing him in prison once again. There is another side of Anil’s story. He was sexually abused by an uncle when he was 8. He was initiated into sex by a tutor as a teenager. He grew up with an absent father and a mother that was too busy. His life and ambition were based solely on material things. How then did this convict become an icon of resilience at a National Day celebration? What happened to make him a prize-winning social entrepreneur worthy of investment? Why is he trusted to run a call centre in the men and women’s prisons? In The Longest Shortcut, Anil shares not just about this journey of redemption, but also the lessons he has learnt along the way about self-worth, parenting, leadership and hope. “Anil earned the trust of social impact investors and those around him to establish an organisation that has as its mission the giving of meaningful second chances.” — Desmond Lee, Minister for National Development & Minister-in-charge of Social Services Integration

The Amazing Foot Race of 1921 by Shirley Jean (Roll) Tucker Pdf
READ ALL ABOUT IT: Hikers to Walk From East Coast to Vancouver Canadians have long been fascinated with trekkers who conquered this country sea to sea, from John Hugh Gillis in 1906 to Terry Fox in 1980 to Rick Hansen in 1985. This adventure tale celebrates five Canadians who hiked from Halifax to Vancouver in 1921. For a nation struggling with post-war inflation, labour unrest and unemployment, the prospect of the 3,645-mile hike was a welcome distraction. Daily reports from the competitors, who followed the CPR tracks, ran in the Halifax Herald and in other newspapers, and it wasn’t long before the race had become a national obsession to rival today’s Amazing Race television series or the Tour de France. Bands played. Crowds cheered. People placed their bets. By the time they were done, all five competitors had turned Canada “walking crazy.” This story about men and women with modern-day derring-do is told in the vernacular of the day, with newspaper accounts and over 50 photographs.

The stories in this book, are not intended to be a criticism of the way of life that the original inhabitants of this country live their lives. I have offered my opinions only, honestly and openly and from an observation point of view. This is my story....sometimes sad, sometimes funny, sometimes frightening and at times controversial. I’ve worked in many Aboriginal communities alongside our First Nation people over many years. It has at times been challenging but has provided me with an opportunity to learn about their culture and to have a much better understanding of life in these communities. My story starts from my years as a cheeky kid to a young musician playing guitar in a rock band around South East Queensland and then to my adult life which has been eventful to say the least. So let’s start at the beginning...

Written without motive or rhythm, The Black Book offers an eclectic collection of the beliefs and ideas of author Mr. John. It is a book of moments and direct snapshots of his thoughtssome light, some dark, and others black. Throughout the twenty-one chapters, Mr. John offers opinions and an honest look at a wide variety of subjects, including: the dangers of drinking too much, living for today, the meaning of our existence, the quirkiness of names, the importance of speaking out for what is right, and much more. Punctuated with drawings, scribbles, and handwritten words, The Black Book communicates the message that life is too important to lock yourself away and never allow yourself the time to relax, escape, and explore. Mr. John implores you to enjoy, love, and never forget to be nice to each other.
