WHAT SHOULD I DO WITH MY LIFE
|
Author:Po Bronson
Brimming with stories of sacrifice, courage, commitment and, sometimes, failure, the book will support anyone pondering a major life choice or risk without force-feeding them pat solutions.”
What should I do with my life?
It’s a question many of us have pondered with frequency. Author Po Bronson was asking himself that very question when he decided to write this book—an inspiring exploration of how people transform their lives and a template for how we can answer this question for ourselves.
Bronson traveled the country in search of individuals who have struggled to find their calling, their true nature—people who made mistakes before getting it right. He encountered people of all ages and all professions—a total of fifty-five fascinating individuals trying to answer questions such as: Is a career supposed to feel like a destiny? How do I tell the difference between a curiosity and a passion? Should I make money first, to fund my dream? If I have a child, will my frustration over my work go away? Should I accept my lot, make peace with my ambition, and stop stressing out? Why do I feel guilty for thinking about this?

Styling and Grooming Black Children's Hair
Author:Michele N-K Collison
What are you going to do with that child's hair? My friends started bombarding me with questions when my daughter Maya was around six months old. What did my friends mean when they asked what was I going to do with Maya's hair? I wasn't planning to do anything with her hair. I was a new mother of twins. Do hair? I just wanted to sleep. She was a baby and I let her hair be free. Her brother Michael's hair was even less of an issue. I'd use a soft brush on it occasionally.
