(Ttulo omitido propositadamente) Often when mentoring, in a one-to-one session, it will be clear that the mentees worst critic is the one they see very regularly daily, in fact. Often when they are tired and stressed. Often when they are at a low point. Its the one they look (1)________ the mirror. I mean most of the time, the worst critic lives inside peoples head. It might be the criticism that you heard at school or college. It might be the voice of so-called friends. It might be a parent or guardian, sibling or perfect cousin. You cant always shut those voices up. No matter how much you want to. You can, however, recognise that they are internal voices and cultivate a strategy to counteract them. If you can have an internal critic, you can also have an internal cheerleader. One technique is to give yourself advice that you would give your best friend in that situation. If youre worrying about not being good (2)________ something, what would you say to your best friend in that state? Youd probably tell them that it would be alright, theyll sail through it, that you believe (3)________ them. If you can do it for your best friend, you can do it for yourself.

Cornelius Ryan, the Irish D-Day Reporter Who Re-Invented Journalism The father of modern literary journalism is Cornelius Ryan, whose massive I was there coverage of D-Day and its aftermath led to two incredible books and movies, The Longest Day and A Bridge Too Far. He was an unlikely war correspondent. Ryan was on a boat that ditched on Normandy Beach on June 6, 1944. He followed the Allied invasion attached to General Pattons army. Years later he put together perhaps the best book about war ever written. It was exquisite writing and research, and as Michael Shapiro wrote in the Columbia Journalism Review in 2010, it broke completely new ground. Shapiro wrote, The book (The Longest Day) was a triumph, earning rave reviews and sales that, within a few years, would stretch into the tens of millions in eighteen different languages. I opened the book on the eve of a long weekend. I was hooked after a single page. Something was taking place in the telling of this story that transcended journalism. The book was written when Ryan placed an ad in several newspapers in 1957 which went, June 6th, 1944: Were You There? One thousand, one hundred, and fifty people wrote back. And of that group, he interviewed 172 alone or with his assistants. Out of that came a book that puts you at the heart of the greatest invasion of all time. You are there as the invasion forces first gain the beaches and the Germans, taken by surprise, fight back furiously. Ryan died at just 54 from prostate cancer. On his gravestone in Connecticut is his name and one word: Reporter. No one has earned that title more. He deserves to be remembered.

As I write this, American soldiers serve in remote and hostile environments. For young leaders in todays Army, the war on terror constitutes a difficult and sometimes tragic reality. Meanwhile, in the small classrooms of West Point, young cadets consider war through the eyes of Rudyard Kipling, Carl Sandburg, and John McCrae. During his or her plebe year, every West Point cadet takes a semester of English literature, reading and discussing poetry from Ovid to Owen, Spenser to Springsteen. Cadets must also recite poems from memory, a challenge that many graduates recall years later as one of their toughest hurdles. Why, in an age of increasingly technical and complex warfare, would Americas future combat leaders spend sixteen weeks studying the likes of irony, rhyme, and meter? Poetry confronts cadets with new ideas that challenge their worldview. The West Point curriculum includes poetry, history, philosophy, politics, and law, because these subjects provide a universe of new ideas, different perspectives, competing values and conflicting emotions. In combat, our graduates face similar challenges: whether to fire at a sniper hiding in a mosque, or how to negotiate agreements between competing tribal leaders. Schoolbook solutions to these problems do not exist; combat leaders must rely on their own morality, their own creativity, their own convictions. In teaching cadets poetry, we teach them not what to think, but how to think. Adapted from https://www.poetryfoundation.org/search?query=romance+and+reality.

(EsPCEx - 2022) Assiste demolio Morou mais de vinte anos nesta casa? Ento vai sentir uma coisa quando ela for demolida. Comeou a demolio. Passando pela rua, ele viu a casa j sem telhado, e operrios, na poeira, removendo caibros. Aquele telhado que lhe dera tanto trabalho por causa das goteiras, tapadas aqui, reaparecendo ali. Seu quarto de dormir estava exposto ao cu, no calor da manh. Ao fundo, no terrao, tinham desaparecido as colunas da prgula, e a cobertura de ramos de buganvlia dois troncos subindo do ptio l embaixo e enchendo de florinhas vermelhas o cho de ladrilho, onde gatos da vizinhana amavam fazer sesta e surpreender tico-ticos. Passou nos dias seguintes e viu o progressivo desfazer-se das paredes, que escancarava a casa de frente e de flancos jogando-a por assim dizer na rua. Os marcos das portas apareciam emoldurando o vazio. O azul e as nuvens circulavam pelos cmodos, em composio surrealista. E o pequeno balco da fachada, cercado de ar, parecia um mirante espacial, baixado ao nvel dos mopes. A demolio prosseguiu noite, espontaneamente. Um lano de parede desabou sozinho, para fora do tapume, quando j cessara na rua o movimento dos lotaes. Caiu discreto, sem ferir ningum, apenas avariando desculpem a rede telefnica. A casa encolhera-se, em processo involutivo. J agora de um s pavimento, sem teto, aspirava mesmo desintegrao. Chegou a vez da pequena sala de estar, da sala de jantar com seu lambri envernizado a preto, que ele passara meses raspando a poder de gilete, para recuperar a cor da madeira. E a vez do escritrio, parte pensante e sentinte de seu mecanismo individual, do eu mais ntimo e simultaneamente mais pblico, eu de gavetas sigilosas, manuseadas por um profissional da escrita. De todo o tempo que vivera na casa, fora ali que passara o maior nmero de horas, sentado, meio corcunda, desligado de acontecimentos, ouvindo, sem escutar, rumores que chegavam de outro mundo cantoria de bbados, motor de avio, chorinho de beb, galo na madrugada. E no sentiu dor vendo esfarinharem-se esses compartimentos de sua histria pessoal. Nem sequer a melancolia do desvanecimento das coisas fsicas. Elas tinham durado, cumprido a tarefa. Chega o instante em que compreendemos a demolio como um resgate de formas cansadas, sentena de liberdade. Talvez sejamos levados a essa compreenso pelo trabalho similar, mais surdo, que se vai desenvolvendo em ns. E no preciso imaginar a alegria de formas novas, mais claras, a surgirem constantemente de formas caducas, para aceitar de corao sereno o fim das coisas que se ligaram nossa vida. Fitou tranquilo o que tinha sido sua casa e era um amontoado de calia e tijolo, a ser removido. Em breve restaria o lote, espera de outra casa maior, sem sinal dele e dos seus, mas destinada a concentrar outras vivncias. Uma ordem, um estatuto pairava sobre os destroos, e tudo era como devia ser, sem iluso de permanncia. Fonte: ANDRADE, Carlos Drummond de. Cadeira de balano. 12. ed.
