Description
=====================
"Just as I broke new ground in human development # over twenty years ago by uncovering the habits that make for a meaningful and effective life, Kevin is breaking new ground by uncovering and revealing the true intent and meaning of the words that make up those habits."
ï¿¢ï¾ï¾Stephen R. Covey, bestselling author of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People #
We live our lives word by wordï¿¢ï¾ï¾to build our relationships, to convey our points of view, to object to wrongs done to us or to others, to comfort our children and our friends. We also use the wrong wordsï¿¢ï¾ï¾sometimes unknowinglyï¿¢ï¾ï¾and get ourselves into situations we'd rather not be in.
As Stephen R. Covey points out in his introduction:
*Words sell and words repel
*Words lead and words impede
* Words heal and words kill
Kevin Hall discovered the deeper power inherent in words after a fateful encounter with a wise shopkeeper in Vienna. When that led to an introduction to an esteemed etymologist residing in a senior home, Hall embarked on a project that changed his life, and has since changed the lives of thousands of readers. Discover the eleven wordsï¿¢ï¾ï¾as well as the secret wordï¿¢ï¾ï¾that when used correctly, can light your path to the lifelong success you deserve.
An expert recognized for his uncovering the hidden, and often secret meaning of words, Kevin Hall now shares his wisdom with us all. In Aspire! he teaches readers to understand what words mean in their purest sense and unlock their importance as they develop a thoughtful new vocabulary.
As Stephen R. Covey so beautifully elucidates in his foreword, "this masterfully written book will help you understand that words have an inherent power, a force capable of lighting oneï¿¢ï¾ï¾²s paths and horizons. Used correctly and positively, words are the first building blocks for success and inner peace. Used incorrectly and negatively, they are capable of undermining even the best of intentions. This is true in business, in personal relationships, and every other walk of life."
By focusing on eleven words-one per chapter--Aspire! shows how to use these words as building blocks for success and inner peace. The words, from the very familiar to the very unusual, will become touchstones in personal development and in business.
Amazon Customer review
=========================
Aspire is a relatively short, easy to read inspirational guide for living. It can touch you on many levels. No matter where you are on your journey of self-discovery and self-growth, Aspire can speed up the process of moving you toward your goals.
The book is easy to read, very straightforward. The concepts presented in the book are built around the meaning of certain words. Kevin Hall uses a master of words mentor to help teach his philosophy of life. He also calls upon many of the great thinkers and self-discovery writers to help bring out his philosophy. You will find the ideas and words of James Allen As a Man Thinketh , Og Mandino The Greatest Salesman in the World , Viktor Frankl Man's Search for Meaning as well as Gandhi, Emerson and Mother Teresa, plus many others.
The book is full of heart warming and touching real life stories. You will feel better after reading this book.
Kevin has reduced his philosophy of life down to 11 words. These are very special words:
Genshai - never treat anyone small.
Pathfinder - a leader.
Namaste - used as a greeting, meaning saluting the divine within you.
Passion - pursuing what you are willing to suffer for.
Sapere Vedere - knowing how to see. All to often we fail to see things.
Humility - being coachable and teachable.
Inspire - breathing life into others
Empathy - waling the path of another
Coach - carrying another
Ollin - moving forward with all your heart
Integrity - whole and complete
Each word is a separate chapter. Kevin explains the origin of the word and gives living examples of how to live your life in accordance with the meaning of the each word.
Ollin is from the Aztecs. Of all the principles I find this is one most people fall short on. It is pronounced All In. And that is the way you should pursue your passion - Ollin - or all in. "When we decide on what we are willing to suffer for and what we are equally willing to act on, the world opens up." Most people are too tentative ... they never go Ollin.
There are many valuable lessons in this book. They are easy to understand. The value is not on learning the lesson, the value is a simple and direct course of action that Kevin puts forth. Take the action, live according to the word.
If you adopt the philosophy of life as outlined in this book # , you will greatly improve your life in all respects.
I highly recommend you read and implement the way of live set forth. Practice Ollin. |
