An accessible guide to the principles of success by one of the most respected and sought-after motivational speakers of our time. In the tradition of Og Mandino and Zig Ziglar, this inspirational guide uses a wide variety of subjects, from “Achievement” to “Worry,” to bring clarity, information, and motivation to readers. For millions of readers, Bob Proctor’s name is synonymous with success. A former protégé of personal development pioneer Earl Nightingale, Proctor first built a wildly successful business career, and then an internationally successful speaking career, elaborating on the principles of Napoleon Hill’s Think and Grow Rich and other classic success and prosperity texts. Proctor’s position in the business motivation community equals that of Stephen Covey or Og Mandino. But as is not the case with those masters, his books have never been available to the general public—until now! In The ABCs of Success—the first trade book ever published by this master of motivation and prosperity—Proctor goes beyond the simple laws of success and attraction, weighing in on sixty-seven different topics essential to all those who wish to make their dreams a reality, including persistence, winning, effectiveness, and vision. Organized in A-to-Z fashion and composed of brief essays that can be read over and over, The ABCs of Success is an essential resource for anyone who wants the combined wisdom of a century of success thinking in a single, accessible volume.

How well do you know your ABCs? It’s been probably a long time since you last went over the basic English alphabet. In this book you’ll have the opportunity to revisit each letter, from A all the way to Z, which sequentially marks the 26 basic guideposts to achievement that I’ll be discussing. But first, let’s backtrack to that time when we were first taught to read and write our ABCs. We didn’t have any idea then about its value and much less about its importance in our lives, but we surely found learning those 26 letters a lot of fun. We treasured almost every moment of it. In my case, I was so excited to go home and to show my parents how well I was doing in my ABCs. I wanted to show off to them whatever accomplishments I had done in school. It didn’t matter what grade my teacher gave me for them. It was enough to know that I’ve done something when the school day was over. Finally, my parents would take a look at my masterpieces from school and then sometimes say that I didn’t do that well. They’d tell me to my face that I messed up. I didn’t like that because instead of focusing on my achievements, no matter how small, it seemed to me as if they were always too much in a rush to really look over and appreciate what I was doing. This left with no choice but to do whatever it took to get better grades in school. I learned to cheat a little like so many others of my classmates—but just a little, mind you—and got stuck with that habit! My parents were proud of my progress in school but deep inside me, I felt that there was really nothing about what I was doing to be proud of. I knew that some of my classmates and acquaintances didn’t do it my way. Instead of facing the challenge thrown to them by their parents, they found it easier to fight back and rebel. They simply decided to no longer pay attention to their schoolwork. What’s the point, they’d ask, if all that their parents and most people could see are their weaknesses and failures? The problem here is that many of us are taught to achieve rather than to learn. We are taught to aim at getting somewhere but we are not really taught how to get there. As children, many of us get the idea that achieving small things doesn’t matter at all. What matters is that we’d get something for our effort, no matter how small the effort. The idea of greed perhaps won’t be there yet. We just need to perform to the best of our ability and that’s it. It’s really no big deal. Many of us didn’t like that idea, of course, even if we couldn’t articulate our objection at the time. We just didn’t have the words for it yet. I think this is where the power of the alphabet comes in. It gives us the power to create something for ourselves. After we learned our ABCs, we could wondrously put them together so we can write or speak a word, two words, three words, four words, and so on.

Amplify your assessment literacy. Formative, data-driven, high-stakes—we all know the buzzwords surrounding educational testing. But we often shelve our understanding of these because they are overwhelmingly complex. Those who care about our schools and students—teachers, administrators, policymakers, parents, citizens—will discover how and why testing should be taken upon ourselves to advance. Using a nontechnical approach, this book offers fundamental knowledge to free you from testing fogginess—all framed around practical actions you can take to strengthen your assessment literacy. Inappropriate tests are leading to mistaken decisions, and this book provides everything you need to know to change that, including Reasons for tests Reliability/validity Fairness Test-building

What's wrong with these kids? You know the ones . . . tattooed skin, pierced body parts, sagging pants so low their undergarments show, clothing exposing lots of skin, flip-flops worn during winter, hair the color of the rainbow, and let's not forget the colorful language. Can a teacher teach these kids? The answer is a resounding yes! Believe it or not, most of them want to learn, and whether or not it is exhibited through their actions what they desire most of all is structure and discipline. This book was written not only out of my desire to share why I wanted to become a teacher but most importantly how my steps were divinely directed of the Lord. As you read through these pages, I hope you will find what I discovered. God had a plan for my life, and when I put my trust in Him, He equipped and empowered me to become all that He desired of me. What He did for me He will also do for you, as stated in Romans 2:11, "For there is no respect of persons with God."

Develop and implement an action plan for self-care Cultivating focus, re-energizing oneself, and improving daily habits are essential for educators’ well-being and the good that they pass along to students. Mike Kuczala asserts that educators’ greatest tool is a mirror—in it, teachers will find their greatest advocate for personal growth, power, wellness, and vision: themselves. However, finding the time to implement new habits can be hard. Because small changes are easier to plan for and realize, Kuczala concentrates on the habits that are most likely to yield significant improvements. This book guides educators in meaningful self-reflection by providing: Five critical practices to increase productivity and decrease anxiety Reflection prompts and vignettes to guide readers in developing self-care strategies Practical checklists and templates to help educators maintain goals Grounded in new research connecting personal change to professional improvement, Kuczala’s approach to well-being builds a bridge between mind and body to create a comprehensive path for success.

This book is a valuable resource for teachers and other professionals who are looking for a proven way to increase cultural appreciation and awareness. New applications of the ABCs model of Cultural Understanding and Communication are presented and discussed in this new volume, based on studies done in the United States, and Canada and Europe. In this ground-breaking project, the authors describe how the ABCs model complicated and challenged and changed the cultural perceptions of those who participated in it, even those who were initially highly resistant to such possibilities. At the heart of the project is the exchange of narratives – life stories that give insight into the cultural worlds of selves and others. In addition to the narratives, other instruments including the Transcultural Competence Scale (TCC), provide further evidence of the positive impact of the ABCs on participants' receptivity toward cultural differences. In the TRANSABCs project, researchers from both sides of the Atlantic invited teacher candidates, students who will become workplace and other professionals to write an autobiography (A) of themselves from various cultural perspectives, a biography (B) of an individual who is culturally different from themselves along particular dimensions, and to use these documents to conduct cross-cultural comparisons (C) between themselves and the person they interviewed. Furthermore, candidates developed culturally responsive ideas for the school or the workplace (C). These exchanges and analyses produced epiphanies and insights that translated into specific actions to improve cultural understanding and communication in classrooms and workplaces. Educators and professionals can take from these examples to inspire their own personal journey toward greater cultural understanding and sensitivity.
