Indiana Jones and the Hollow Earth
INDIANA JONES AND THE HOLLOW EARTH by Max McCoy takes us on an adventure with Indy traversing the Arctic to retrieve a canister that contains the crystal skull. With a team of military folks, they fly the B-18P (P for Polar), also affectionately called the Penguin by Indy’s copilot friend, Clarence. The name seems to rub off on the others too.
The Hollow (Book 2)
THE HOLLOW by Nora Roberts (NR) is the second book of the Sign of Seven Trilogy.
In the first book, the story romantically links Caleb and Quinn together and in this one, we see Fox and Layla together. Book 2 builds on the suspense from book 1 and the nightmare is about to begin.
Fox O’Dell practices small-town law with an ability to read minds. Coincidentally, Layla shares the same ability.
MY FM 10th Anniversary Concert (Part 1)
I was away on Saturday to shoot and enjoy the MY FM 10th Anniversary Concert at the Arena of Stars, Genting Highlands. Fellow blogger, Andrew Wong has invited me and two other bloggers, KY and Lorna to join in the fun.
It was a grand event with performance by famous celebrities and appearance by MY FM DJs. The theme of the night was Revolutionize Cosmos and the presenters were dressed as the game’s characters.
Our Iceberg is Melting
OUR ICEBERG IS MELTING by John Kotter and Holger Rathgeber is not just a story about cute emperor penguins in the Antartica but there’s much more in this short tale. The penguins fable drew on the frameworks found in Leading Change (by John Kotter in 1996) and The Heart of Change (also by Dr Kotter and co-written with Dan Cohen in 2002). At first glance, the book may look silly but it draws on the power of good stories to influence behavior and compel actions.
Discover how to use the “Eight Steps Process of Successful Change” (as the penguins did even without knowing them) to enjoy even more success in these changing times. […]
Counterbalancing Activities
I learned a new phrase today after reading an article on American Management Association (AMA) by Carol Kinsey Goman, Ph.D. That new phrase is counterbalancing activities.
Dr. Goman said, “People who thrive on organizational change have two things in common: They take good care of themselves and they have outside interests.”
Not Quite What I Was Planning
Do you have a six-word memoir? Can you write one? When I saw the 225-page book Not Quite What I Was Planning: Six-Word Memoirs by Writers Famous and Obscure, I grabbed a copy off the shelf at the bookstore. And finished reading it in one sitting.
The six-word memoir was launched online in 2006 by SMITH magazine and they’re now compiled into a book, and published this year. It is personal storytelling that soon creates a storm across the Internet.
