Review # 1 was written on 2013-03-22 00:00:00 Caryn Gudde It's not as interesting as the volumes I've read before, so I decided to google the oxyrhyncus historian I'm pursuing to curtail my search for him. I also found Wikipedia useful in finding out what were catoecic lands ie formerly cleruch ie settled by soldiers. This par has the usual interest if you're interested in whatever gives you an understanding of past life.

Review # 2 was written on 2020-05-17 00:00:00 Carlton Jarvis A very short but incredibly insightful text on management. This book does tells the story of how Jack Welch turned G.E. into a business powerhouse, explaining how he did it. The takeaways that come to mind are removing wasteful bureaucracy, empowering every worker and harnessing everyone's ideas, only sticking in industries where you can be either number 1 or 2, and not letting the past dictate the future. Welch wasn't afraid to change something that wasn't broken, and in doing so, he made a great thing even better. On a more personal level, I really enjoyed thinking about these lessons as applied to my own life: focus only on what is important and gives you the most outcome. Don't waste time on things that never really get you anything. I found that when I looked at my life in that light, I found a lot of unnecessary things in it that were stealing time and not adding benefit.
