Westminster - 1895 - Illustrated

Walter Besant

Beschreibung

He who considers the history of Westminster presently observes with surprise that he is reading about a city which has no citizens. In this respect Westminster is alone among cities and towns of the English-speaking race; she has had no citizens. Residents she has had,—tenants, lodgers, subjects, sojourners within her boundaries,—but no citizens. The sister city within sight, and almost within hearing, can show an unequaled roll of civic worthies, animated from the beginning by an unparalleled tenacity of purpose, clearly seeing and understanding what they wanted, and why, and how they could obtain their desire. This knowledge had been handed down from father to son. Freedom, self-government, corporations, guilds, brotherhoods, privileges, safety, and order—all have been achieved and assured by means of this tenacity and this clear understanding of what was wanted. Westminster has never possessed any of these things.

Summary: Never Enough - When...

Brooks Bryant

DISCLAIMER: THIS IS NOT THE OFFICIAL BOOK. 
This is a summary & it does not accompany the official. 
"Never Enough" by Jennifer Breheny Wallace delves into the high-pressure world of today's students, who strive relentlessly for success and often find themselves overwhelmed. This book explores the pervasive culture of toxic achievement, where students pack their schedules with activities and face intense competition, leading to rising rates of anxiety and depression. 
Wallace investigates the origins of this culture and its deep-seated roots in society, driven by income inequality and limited opportunities. Through interviews and research, the book highlights how children are absorbing the message that their worth is solely tied to their accomplishments. 
However, "Never Enough" offers a different perspective, emphasizing the importance of children feeling like they matter intrinsically, regardless of their external achievements. It advocates for parents and educators to adopt a mindset that values a child's sense of self-worth and contribution to a larger community. By doing so, the book argues, children can develop resilience, self-confidence, and psychological security. 
With insightful stories and practical guidance, "Never Enough" provides an urgent and humane perspective on the challenges facing today's teenagers and offers a framework for positive change in how we nurture and support them.
