  Mark Twain gave this speech at an event honoring Andrew Carnegie, who helped found the Simplified Spelling Board. Twain mentions how uncomfortable it is to only receive compliments when one is the guest of honor, so he critiques Carnegie’s “pestiferous” ideas about spelling reform. In doing so, he provides his own suggestions for fixing “this present silly alphabet, which I fancy was invented by a drunken thief.” This speech is a fine example of the brazen humor that made Twain himself famous.

  Life Begins in Leitrim - From...

  The road to Croke Park can be a long one. For Leitrim hurler Zak Moradi, it was an odyssey.
  Born at the height of the Gulf War, Zak spent his formative years living in a refugee camp in Ramadi, Iraq, under the oppressive regime of Saddam Hussein. Eventually, he and his family settled in Carrick-on- Shannon, County Leitrim, and this is where life began.
  Zak couldn't speak English when he first arrived, and he didn't know what sport the boys in his class were playing. It was hurling; he was handy at it, and he picked it up quickly. The GAA gave Zak his chance to put down roots, learn valuable life skills and find friendship.
  A story of adversity, community and hope, Life Begins in Leitrim is Zak's moving reflection, twenty years later, on the culture shock of landing in rural Ireland; the importance of embracing difference; the continued suffering of refugees around the world; the power of sport; and the realisation that, really, we're not all that different from each other.
  'Inspiring … testament to the power of sport and the kindness of people.' Pat Spillane
  'An unputdownable story of overcoming adversity.' Philly McMahon

  'I have learned that success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has overcome while trying to succeed.'
  
  First published in 1901, Up From Slavery is Booker T. Washington's powerful memoir, recounting his journey from enslavement to becoming a leading educator and advocate for Black progress.
  
  Born into slavery in the American South, Washington recalls his rise to becoming a founder of the Tuskegee Institute and subsequently a national leader in educational rights and race relations. Movingly sharing his struggles for education, belief in hard work and self-reliance, Washington – through his affecting story – argues that economic empowerment is key to improving the lives of African Americans. Often regarded as one of the best non-fiction books of the twentieth century, Up From Slavery is a profound tale of perseverance and a valuable insight into the social challenges of post-Civil War America. This audiobook edition is beautifully read by Greg Lockett.
  Booker T. Washington (1856 – 1915) was an American author, educator and orator. Born into slavery, Washington was freed during the Civil War and soon became leader of the Tuskegee Institute in Alabama, one of the first colleges for Black higher education. He was a dominant voice for Black rights in politics, and became the first Black person to publicly meet with the president on equal terms.

  This gripping narrative unveils how a fortune was forged not just with innovation, but through manipulation of public trust, regulatory loopholes, and aggressive marketing. As addiction swept across the nation, the architects remained hidden behind boardroom walls and museum wings.
