born standing up a comics life by steve martin. I did stand up comedy for 18 years. 10 of those years were spent learning four years were spent refining And four were spent in wild success. My most persistent memory of stand up is of my mouth being in the present, in my mind, being in the future, the mouth speaking the line, the body delivering the gesture while the mine looks back, observing, analyzing, judging, worrying, and then deciding when and what to say next enjoyment. While performing was rare, enjoyment would have been an indulgent loss of focus that comedy cannot afford after the shows. However, I experienced long hours of elation or misery depending on how the show went. Because doing comedy on stage is the ego's last stand. Always know what to say by peter W. Murphy. There are four keys to getting results with this material. One be aware and make a choice when it comes to personal change. The first step is to become aware of what you're doing and why you do it. For example, let's say you rarely approach people. Take an objective look at this behavior and you might notice that you do sometimes, but not usually, and only when you have a sense of purpose or good reason to this revelation can then be applied to approach people more often with less anxiety. Cosmos. By Carl Sagan. Today we have discovered a powerful and elegant way to understand the universe. A method called science. It has revealed to us a universe so ancient and so vast that human affairs seem at first sight to be of little consequence. We have grown distant from the cosmos. It has seemed remote and irrelevant to everyday concerns, but science has found not only that the universe has a reeling and ecstatic grandeur. Not only that it is accessible for human understanding, but also that we are, in a very real and profound sense, a part of that cosmos born from it, our fate deeply connected with it. The most basic human events and the most trivial trace back to the universe and its origins. This book is devoted to the exploration of that cosmic perspective.
