But then the poor man is a military, maniac. As a matter of fact I ought to look quite well to morrow on the occasion of the Yearly Inspection, as my tunic is nothing but oil stains, and everything else is. Sketchy and insecure.

A city is hit by an epidemic of "white blindness" whose victims are confined to a vacant mental hospital, while a single eyewitness to the nightmare guides seven oddly assorted strangers through the barren urban landscape. In the tradition of novels of Gayle Forman and John Green comes this extraordinary YA debut about a blind teen girl navigating life and love in high school. That's why she created the Rules: Don't treat her any differently just because she's blind, and never take advantage.
There will be no second chances. Just ask Scott Kilpatrick, the boy who broke her heart. When Scott suddenly reappears in her life after being gone for years, Parker knows there's only one way to react--shun him so hard it hurts. She has enough on her mind already, like trying out for the track team that's right, her eyes don't work but her legs still do , doling out tough-love advice to her painfully naive classmates, and giving herself gold stars for every day she hasn't cried since her dad's death three months ago.
But avoiding her past quickly proves impossible, and the more Parker learns about what really happened--both with Scott, and her dad--the more she starts to question if things are always as they seem.
Maybe, just maybe, some Rules are meant to be broken. Combining a fiercely engaging voice with true heart, debut author Eric Lindstrom's Not If I See You First illuminates those blind spots that we all have in life, whether visually impaired or not. Author : Chad E. For anyone seeking to live life to its fullest potential, Blind Ambition is an eye-opening account of a tech industry star executive who overcame fear and hopelessness to turn his disadvantage of blindness into a powerful competitive strength.
While most people were preparing for the adventure of adult life, Chad E. Foster was watching the world he grew up with fade to black. With determination, ambition, and drive, Chad created what Oracle said would be impossible.
He gave millions of people the ability to earn a living by becoming the first to create customer relationship software for the visually impaired. See how we choose the stories we tell ourselves about our circumstances and how this either limits us or propels us towards our goals.
Gain new perspective on what is possible when you shift your mindset, give up making excuses, and decide that you are in charge of who you want to be. Learn the mental model that Chad uses to quickly overcome frustrations and stressors. Chad is happier and more successful today than when he could see. Overcoming the challenges of blindness has improved his perspective, making him more resilient and grateful for the life that he has.
Ultimately, Chad's unforgettable lessons and outlook will inspire readers to overcome their perceived limitations and explore new possibilities where they once may have only seen obstacles. Heffernan shows why we close our eyes to facts that threaten our families, our livelihood, and our self-image — and, even better, she points the way out of the darkness' Daniel H.
Why, after every major accident and blunder, do we look back and ask, how could we have been so blind? Why do some people see what others don't? And how can we change? Drawing on studies by psychologists and neuroscientists, and from interviews with business leaders, whistle blowers and white collar criminals, distinguished businesswoman and writer Margaret Heffernan examines the phenomenon of wilful blindness, exploring the reasons that individuals and groups are blind to impending personal tragedies, corporate collapses, engineering failures — even crimes against humanity.
We turn a blind eye in order to feel safe, to avoid conflict, to reduce anxiety and to protect prestige. But greater understanding leads to solutions, and Heffernan shows how — by challenging our biases, encouraging debate, discouraging conformity, and not backing away from difficult or complicated problems — we can be more mindful of what's going on around us and be proactive instead of reactive.
