Have you ever wondered exactly how it is that Hollywood’s sweethearts manage to stay so fit, regardless of the amount of socializing they are forced to do in the name of their careers? Have you ever wondered why it is that the women never seem to suffer from that fluctuating ten pounds that the rest of the world enjoy, or why the men always look like they’re fresh out of the military, fit and muscular and ready to take on the world?

HARRY STEELE MORRISON Known as THE BOY TRAVELLER Offers three narratives of travel and adventure, descriptive of his personal experiences in foreign lands. Figure HARRY STEELE MORRISON The Mutual Lyceum Bureau, FRANK A. MORGAN, Manager, 6450 KIMBARK AVENUE, CHICAGO, ILL. Figure My Tramp Abroad IN HIS NARRATIVE of tramping through Europe Mr. Morrison describes his adventures during the eight months he spent abroad as a boy of sixteen, four years ago. At that time he started from Chicago for Longon with only twenty-five dollars in his pocket and worked his way through Belgium, Holland, Germany, Switzerland and France. He succeeded in obtaining interviews with President McKinley, Mr. Gladstone, Queen Victoria, President Faure and King Leopold. He crowded more startling adventures into these eight months than most people experience in a lifetime, and the account of his interviews with famous persons is amusing as well as instructive. Working My Way Around the World HAVING TWICE visited Europe, Mr. Morrison determined last spring to encircle the globe in his travels, and to do it without spending any money other than that which he could earn en route. He shipped aboard a steamer bound to Europe and through the Mediterranean Sea, and by dint of energy and perseverance he succeeded in reaching the Philippines, after visiting Gibraltar, Spain, Morocco, Malta, Egypt, Arabia, Ceylon and Singapore. He remained in our new possessions long enough to learn something of their characteristics, and then proceeded through China and Japan to San Francisco, where he arrived with more money in his pocket than when he left New York. It can be easily understood that such a trip as this was productive of many unusual experiences, and Mr. Morrison tells of them in his usual amusing style. The account of his interviews with the Khedive, the Shah of Persia, Aguinaldo and Prince Kotohito of Japan is particularly interesting. Mr. Morrison's Books A Yankee Boy's Success F. A.

Everything in life revolves around time. It takes us time to go to sleep at night. It takes us time to dream just as much as it takes to wake up every morning. It took time for you to grow. It took time for your parents to become adults and eventually meet each other to create you. You'll begin to notice time is all around us once you take a closer look at life itself. When we use time wisely our goals and dreams work in our favor. Growing up I was considered a workaholic. My friends would love to hang out, go to parties, or drive around the city daily and I would be doing other things with my time like working on myself or working towards my dreams. The most precious thing about time is we have more than enough of it. From the day we were born into this world we entered a time realm. Life’s clock began to move. The average person lives 3,744 total weeks in his lifetime. Doesn’t sound like much time right? But when you carefully break it down from days to hours to minutes then seconds you will come to realize you have all the time in the world. It’s what you do with that time that counts. If two houses where being built next to each other and they both had one worker. Those workers are provided with the same tools, resources, space, and time. If one of the workers spent 7 days a week and 12 hours a day building his home and the other spent 7 days and 6 hours a day building his. Who would finish his house first? The same goes for your goals and dreams in life. If you use the 24 hours you have in a day to get closer to the life you desire you are entitled to get there a lot faster and efficiently. Therefore there is nothing in life that is out of reach. We all have the same resources, tools, space, and time to accomplish these goals. When you analyze time from that perspective it gives you an overwhelming feeling of belief that anything is possible and you can have anything in life that your heart desires. For example if I were to stand at the end of a street corner and my goal was to get to the other side of the road. The other side is also in the reach of every human being on this planet but only those ones who keep walking regardless of the circumstance will reach the other side. Others will turn around and stare at the other side of the road with hopes to one day to experience it. In life we spend too much time looking for others to encourage us and cheer us on as we embark on our journey of success. When really you are your biggest cheerleader and the world is in your hands. All it takes is effort, courage, and faith to change your entire reality. So treat time the same way you treat your significant other. Handle it with care, appreciate it, never take it for granted, and use it wisely..... [more]

Thus Spake Zarathustra) is a philosophical novel by German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche. The book chronicles the fictitious travels and speeches of Zarathustra. Zarathustra's namesake was the Persian founder of Zoroastrianism, usually known in English as Zoroaster. Nietzsche is clearly portraying a "new" or "different" Zarathustra, one who turns traditional morality on its head. He goes on to characterize "what the name of Zarathustra means in my mouth, the mouth of the first immoralist:"
The book embodies a number of innovative poetical and rhetorical methods of expression. It serves as a parallel and supplement to the various philosophical ideas present in Nietzsche's body of work. He has, however, said that "among my writings my Zarathustra stands to my mind by itself." Emphasizing its centrality and its status as his magnum opus.
Since many of the book's ideas are also present in his other works, Zarathustra is seen to have served as a precursor to his later philosophical thought. With the book, Nietzsche embraced a distinct aesthetic assiduity. He later reformulated many of his ideas, in Beyond Good and Evil and various other writings that he composed thereafter. He continued to emphasize his philosophical concerns; generally, his intention was to show an alternative to repressive moral codes and to avert "nihilism" in all of its varied forms.
While Nietzsche injects myriad ideas into the book, a few recurring themes stand out. The overman (Übermensch), a self-mastered individual who has achieved his full power, is an almost omnipresent idea in Thus Spoke Zarathustra. Man as a race is merely a bridge between animals and the overman. Nietzsche also makes a point that the overman is not an end result for a person, but more the journey toward self-mastery.
The eternal recurrence, found elsewhere in Nietzsche's writing, is also mentioned. "Eternal recurrence" is the possibility that all events in one's life will happen again and again, infinitely. The embrace of all of life's horrors and pleasures alike shows a deference and acceptance of fate, or Amor Fati. The love and acceptance of one's path in life is a defining characteristic of the overman. Faced with the knowledge that he would repeat every action that he has taken, an overman would be elated as he has no regrets and loves life. Opting to change any decision or event in one's life would indicate the presence of resentment or fear; contradistinctly the overman is characterized by courage and a Dionysian spirit.
The will to power is the fundamental component of human nature. Everything we do is an expression of the will to power. The will to power is a psychological analysis of all human action and is accentuated by self-overcoming and self-enhancement. Contrasted with living for procreation, pleasure, or happiness, the will to power is the summary of all man's struggle against his surrounding environment as well as his reason for living in it.
