Le second MOI
by Antonio AlmasEt ainsi est arrivé le temps du silence, il fallait qu'il vienne un jour, car trop de mots embrouillent la tête, trop de conversations épuisent l’esprit, dissolvent les sens et détournent de l'essentiel. Je sais que j'ai essayé de fuir, que je ne voulais pas accepter la solitude et l'absence de bruit. J'ai lutté pour rester auprès des autres, pour être comme eux, beaucoup d'amis, beaucoup de fêtes et beaucoup de joie, mais je n'étais pas comme ça. J'étais un gamin tranquille, silencieux, qui restait toujours dans son coin, enfermé dans son monde, en silence, caché dans sa tête. Je n'ai jamais été très doué pour l'exposition publique, malgré une certaine capacité d'argumentation, lorsque j'ai expérimenté les arts de la politique, je me sentais mal à l'aise avec le mensonge, avec la nécessité d'être constamment sous le regard des masses, sous l’attention des autres, je n'ai jamais vraiment aimé être scruté. Je ne sais pas si c'est la peur, oui, j'ai toujours été très peureux, la peur de ne pas être capable, ne pas être aussi capable que les autres. Toujours les autres dans un terme comparatif, après tout le monde est ainsi, découvrant les différences entre les uns et les autres, rivalisant pour vaincre son prochain au lieu de s'entraider. Bref, un jeune avec des complexes d'infériorité ne peut produire qu'un adulte peu sûr de soi, qui malgré sa ténacité à avoir une vie indépendante et à payer ses factures, a laissé de côté des faiblesses qui n'étaient pas si évidentes en apparence mais qui étaient tout aussi graves, aussi graves que celles de ceux qui n’arrivent pas à se débrouiller et à construire une vie solide et stable.
Other Me: A autoscopy about the reality of lide and the conception of the self.
by Antonio AlmasAnd then it came the time for silence; it had to come one day, because too many words disorders the mind, too much talking exhausts your head, overwhelm your senses and strays you from what's essential. I know that I attempted to run, that I couldn't accept loneliness and the absence of noise. I struggled to keep myself among others, to be like them, to have lots of friends, to go to lots of parties and feel lots of joy, but that was not who I was. I was a tiny, quiet person, who always wanted to be on their own, shut into their own world, in silence, hidden inside their own brain. I never had the hang for being public, even though I had such ability for argumentation. When I first started in the political arts, I felt uncomfortable with all the lies, the need for constantly being under the sight of the people, under the scrutiny of others; I was never into being scrutinized. Not sure if it's for fear, although, yes, I've always been afraid of everything, of being wimpy, of not being as good as the others. I always use others in a comparative way, after all, that's the way it is, we're always pointing out differences between ones and others, fighting to surpass the others instead of helping each other. In sum, a young one with inferiority complexes can only grow into an adult filled with insecurity, who, besides their obstinacy for an independent life and paying your own bills, has left behind a few fragilities which, apparently, weren't so evident though equally serious; as serious as those of who could not be in charge of building a solid, stable life.
Secondo IO
by Antonio AlmasCiò che a volte nascondiamo di noi stessi è il riflesso di ciò che non vogliamo vedere allo specchio. Dobbiamo percepirci e accettarci o non saremo capaci di proseguire. Questo racconto è un'introspezione verso la parte narcisista che abita in noi. È un viaggio verso l'ego che non deve sopraffarci, ma bensì renderci fiduciosi verso il fatto che siamo capaci. Guardare il nostro riflesso nell'acqua non deve solo servire ad ammirarci, ma soprattutto è utile per conversare con noi stessi.
Segundo YO
by Antonio AlmasUna autoscopia sobre la realidad de la vida y la asunción de uno mismo. Y así ha llegado el momento del silencio, algún día tendría que venir, porque demasiadas palabras sacuden tu cabeza, demasiada conversación drena tu mente, disuelve tus sentidos y te distrae de lo esencial. Sé que intenté escapar, que no quería aceptar la soledad y la ausencia de ruido. Luché por quedarme con los demás, ser como ellos, muchos amigos, muchas fiestas y mucha alegría, pero no era así. Era un niño callado, silencioso que siempre estaba en su esquina, encerrado en su mundo, silencioso, escondido dentro de su cerebro. Nunca tuve una habilidad especial para la exposición pública, aunque tengo cierta capacidad para la argumentación, cuando experimenté las artes de la política, me sentí incómodo con la mentira, la necesidad de estar constantemente bajo los ojos de las masas, bajo el escrutinio de los demás. Nunca me gustó realmente ser examinado. No sé si por miedo, sí, siempre fui muy miedoso, miedo de no ser capaz, incapacidad de ser tan bueno como los demás. Siempre los otros en un término comparativo, al final así es el mundo, descubriendo diferencias entre unos y otros, compitiendo para superar a los demás en lugar de ayudarse mutuamente. En resumen, un joven con complejos de inferioridad solo puede producir un adulto inseguro que, a pesar de su tenacidad para vivir una vida independiente y pagar sus cuentas, ha dejado de lado algunas debilidades que aparentemente no eran tan obvias, pero igualmente serias, tan serias como aquellos que no pueden gobernarse a sí mismos y construir una vida sólida y estable.
The Book Of Thoughts Volume III (The Book of Thoughts #3)
by Antonio AlmasLife is a place of learning, knowing how to receive what you have to give us and realizing what you want to teach us is to be debugging the essentials of what is merely an accessory. Let us learn to listen so that we can teach later.

The Book of Thoughts II: A book with brief thoughts about life, spirituality and society.
by Antonio AlmasFor life is not solely a path of multiple choices, and the thought is not restricted to logical analysis, this book aims to be a moment of introspection in which emotion and reasoning walk hand in hand towards infinity. Life is a moment in which the soul materializes within a body so it can touch, it's the option of being mortal, for a fleeting moment, the vertigo of being natural, of being a lover. The enigma is always a trump for those who know its solution! It is in the silence that we discover the voice of the soul. It is with closed eyes that we find the path within ourselves. It is in words, full of meanings, that I set free the voice of the soul. Walking with our eyes closed we can listen better to the sounds of our footsteps. There is beyond the body an immense plain where we can sow the senses erecting the forests that will shelter us. The journey of the soul is the path we must thread to reach eternity. In this crossway of senses, we are the choice, paths that lead us to the fullness of the desires we keep deep within us. The eternal light is the one which lights the way which we should lead our footsteps to, without it we are blind and walking by chance. Time disseminates, it doesn't restrict. The body should not be an object of love, but merely a complement. Love is an intense feeling that only the immense soul can support, the body fits inside it, drowns in it.
Access, Diversity, Equity and Inclusion in Cultural Organizations: Insights from the Careers of Executive Opera Managers of Color in the US (Routledge Research in the Creative and Cultural Industries)
by Antonio C. CuylerAnalyzing the lack of diversity among opera executives, this book examines the careers of executive opera managers of color in the U.S. By interrogating the impact of race on arts managers’ careers, the author contemplates how opera might attract and retain more racially diverse arts managers to ensure its future.With a focus on the U.S., research is contextualized via qualitative data to explore, enhance, and institutionalize access, diversity, equity, and inclusion (ADEI) in the opera industry. In a revealing series of expert-conducted interviews, the author poses illuminating questions, such as: what if an inability to recruit and retain diverse executives is the primary source of opera’s challenges? if more racially diverse opera executives existed, would the art form persist in struggling to find its place in contemporary society? from where will the next generation of diverse opera managers emerge? As the magnitude of the global diversity problem grows within the creative and cultural industries, this book serves as a guide for Arts Management practitioners and students who may view their class, different ability, ethnicity, gender, race, or sexual orientation as a liability in their pursuit of executive careers.

Aprender a Felicidade e Construi-la
by Antonio Costa Camille LevyA Felicidade é uma construção. Partir do princípio segundo o qual a Felicidade é uma construção significa que uma vez que não é dada, ela está disponível para todos e apenas temos de nos dar ao trabalho de capturá-la, adotando a filosofia e o comportamento apropriado. É neste sentido que a Felicidade é aprendida e se constrói. Ela requer alguma aprendizagem, algum esforço também, mas pode ser facilmente alcançada. Se a infelicidade não é portanto uma fatalidade, a Felicidade por sua vez é uma oportunidade real. Resta a si abraçá-la.

Ninja Skills: The Secret Shinobi Scrolls Of Chikamatsu Shigenori
by Antony CumminsThis is the world's only illustrated guide to the real ninja teachings of historic Japan. These original techniques are presented in a highly accessible 'how-to' format that combines easy-to-follow text with a fresh, contemporary design that includes step-by-step photographs.This is the first book ever to present the authentic ninja techniques in a highly accessible, illustrated 'how to' format. The shadowy figure of the ninja – expert commando, secret agent, maverick who operates outside social norms – continues to exert fascination in the West, yet much of what is presented as ninja fact today is distorted or wrong. Drawing on the scrolls created by historical Japanese ninjas (or shinobi, as they were then known), this book offers the real ninja teachings in 150 easy-to-follow, illustrated lessons designed to draw contemporary students of ninja straight into the world of these skilled spy-commandos. The truth about the ninja is so much more complex and intriguing than the Hollywood clichés we know today. We may think, for example, of a ninja as being always garbed in black and fighting with 'throwing stars' but in fact, a ninja had clothes in different colours to serve as disguises for different times of day, and their arsenal of weaponry could include anything from poison, poison gas, pepper spray and fire-creating tools to swords, spears and knives (but no throwing stars). The 150 lessons in this book cover all the basics of ninja warcraft, including clever ideas for infiltrating an enemy compound (from wearing 'silent sandals' to faking passes and passwords), tactics for hiding and retreat (in the racoon dog retreat, a ninja will crouch low and halt, allowing the pursuer to collide with him at speed, whereupon the agent kills his enemy), and ways of crossing marshes and water (for example, with special shoes made of boards, or using a foldaway floating seat). The description is made all the more vivid by step-by-step photographs of the fighting techniques, diagrams outlining military tactics and beautiful samples of Japanese calligraphy.
