Manager is more of a Zen-master than an office manager‚ dishing out seemingly cryptic management maxim after another. The One Minute Manager is a proverbial wiseman cut in the mold of Mahatma Gandhi‚ Obi-wan-Kenobi and Yoda of Star Wars lore‚ and Gandalf the Great of the Lord of the Rings anthology.

civilized man has built a coach‚ but he has lost the use of his feet." The last and most important message that Tolkien sends through his books‚ is the importance of friends. They are the ones that help one along the path of life. Countless times‚ Gandalf rushed to the aid of his friends against enemies far stronger than they could handle.

Cranking out as much work as possible because of my profoundly amazing procrastination skills that have slowly cultivated over the years into the magnificent pest that shall determine my high school career. In my overdrive week I did happen to pick up The Fellowship

I just this day finished reading A COMPANION TO BEOWULF by my friend and classmate Ruth Johnson. It was remarkably clear‚ well written‚ concise‚ and chock full of fascinating insights and observations. Let me in particular remark on her last chapter‚ which concerned Tolkien and Beowulf. I had not heretofore been aware of how large a figure JRR Tolkien loomed in the scholarship of the epic poem BEOWULF‚ nor what a great influence his seminal essay The Monster and the Critics‚ had in turning the
