You know, that sense of wonder, the goosebumps, the moment when your creativity seems to know no limits and you imagine yourself facing all of your challenges - and succeeding. I think you should have that feeling more often. The 31 Best Motivational Books Ever Written Will Make You Great fourminutebooks.com /motivational-books/ Do you know that glowing feeling you get after you finish the last couple pages of a really inspirational book? You know, that sense of wonder, the goosebumps, the moment when your creativity seems to know no limits and you imagine yourself facing all of your challenges – and succeeding. I think you should have that feeling more often. Recently, when I was scouring the web for motivational books, none of the lists I found really made me want to pick up one of their books, mostly because: I knew all the books already, the books were only for a specific demographic (entrepreneurs, women, etc.), or they didn’t even tell me why the book was going to motivate me in the first place. What’s more, every single list I found was limited to either fiction or non-fiction books only. So I thought: “Why not create one with both?” To keep it fair and square, I limited myself to include only books I either have read, or am currently reading.

  • A Study of Daisy Buchanan's Influence on Jay Gatsby in F. Scott
    A Study of Daisy Buchanan’s influence on Jay Gatsby in F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby En undersökning av Daisy Buchanans inflytande på Jay Gatsby i F. Scott Fitzgeralds Den store Gatsby Hanna Persson Faculty: Art and Social Sciences Subject: English literature Points: 15 credits Supervisor: Åke Bergvall Examiner: Marinette Grimbeek Date 2019-03-20 Persson2 Abstract This essay will focus on the relationship between Daisy Buchanan and Jay Gatsby in the novel The Great Gatsby (1925). By examining their relationship, I will show that it is through Daisy’s influence that Gatsby evolves in to the man we meet in the novel, and that she is a main reason behind Gatsby’s untimely death. To Gatsby, the innocent and naive Daisy comes to embody the American dream, in other words wealth and social status, a goal he will have reached by winning her hand. Furthermore, I aim to show that it is this longing for wealth and social status associated with Daisy that results in Gatsby becoming a villain. By doing so, his American dream will make him into a victim, costing him his life. In showing this, I will emphasize the importance of Daisy’s voice and how it is used to give her control over the men in her vicinity, Gatsby not the least. Keywords: Gatsby, Daisy, voice, wealth, status Sammanfattning Denna uppsats kommer att fokusera på Daisy Buchanan och Jay Gatsbys förhållande i novellen Den Stora Gatsby (1925). Genom att undersöka deras förhållande ämnar jag visa att det är genom Daisys inflytande som Gatsby utvecklas till den vi möter i novellen, samt att det är hon som är den bakomliggande orsaken till Gatsbys förtidiga död.

The businessman first emerges simply as an evil, corrupting force; but over time, he becomes increasingly complex. Writers over the last two hundred years show that while games and trickery initially help businessmen advance themselves, the characters ultimately fail because of their selfishness. Concerns about business portrayed by the writers reflect concerns more widely held today, in a world with an increasing regard for ethics in business.
