Summary

This is an article written by Andrew Carnegie in June of 1889 that describes the responsibility of philanthropy by the new upper class of self-made rich. Carnegie proposed that the best way of dealing with the new phenomenon of wealth inequality was for the wealthy to utilize their surplus means in a responsible and thoughtful manner. This approach was contrasted with traditional bequest (patrimony), where wealth is handed down to heirs, and other forms of bequest e.g., where wealth is willed to the state for public purposes.

    40 per cent of self-made millionaires are dyslexic.
    Dyslexia does not equal stupidity. For many, it’s a superpower.Think Steve Jobs, Henry Ford, Steven Spielberg and Sir Richard Branson.
    The Dyslexic Edgechallenges the narrative that views dyslexia as a deficit or impediment to success, presenting compelling research to demonstrate quite the opposite. By delving into the lives and experiences of some of the best-known dyslexic minds worldwide, Jamie Waller and Dr Helen Taylor highlight the distinct advantage that dyslexic thinking brings. From billionaires to budding visionaries, they provide an illuminating deep-dive into the mind and creativity of the dyslexic thinker and offer actionable insightsto help the reader applythese frameworks totheir own success.
    Dyslexic thinking is limitless. And, crucially, it can be implemented by anyone.

    The acclaimed director shares a gorgeously photographed and “wonderfully thorough immersion in the world of bees and beekeeping” (Rowan Jacobsen, author of Fruitless Fall). The saying goes that without bees, humankind would only survive for four more years; these crucial pollinators are, indeed, worth more than honey. In his award-winning documentary More Than Honey, Markus Imhoof introduced audiences to the fascinating world of bees and the perils of Colony Collapse Disorder. Now Imhoof joins with nature writer Claus-Peter Lieckfeld to go deeper into the complex relationship between bees and humans. This book examines the history and current status of our relationship to and reliance on bees while exposing the human behaviors contributing to the decline of the bee population—a decline that could ultimately contribute directly to a world food problem. Illustrated with jaw-droppingly detailed photos of bees, More Than Honey is a fascinating, accessible overview of a species that is inextricably tied to our survival.

    Independence is what pushes most people to set up their own business. They wish to carve their own paths to success, manage their own work, take care of their own schedules and be their own boss. Privately owned proprietorships that have a smaller turnover compared to the regular businesses and also lesser employees working for them can be understood to be small business. There are different types of innovative businesses that people have come up with and with days that pass this innovation seem to grow and develop which is thus leading to creation of further new businesses. When it comes to being established then it all comes down the level of competition and the way that a business owner is able to handle these competitions. From setting up to running it and seeing that it is established a small business is time-taking and might even take some time until profit is seen. There are risks involved in where there is investment yet the beauty of having an own business drives people to begin new ventures.
