A Guide For Creative Thinking by Brian Tracy
Einstein once said, “Every child is born a genius.” But the reason why most people do not function at genius levels is because they are not aware of how creative and smart they really are.I call it the “Schwarzenegger effect.” No one would look at a person such as Arnold Schwarzenegger and think how lucky he is to have been born with such …

A new edition of the Shorter Oxford English Dictionary is a cause for celebration at Oxford University Press – celebrate with us!
The Shorter contains more than 600,000 definitions, covering the English language from the days of Milton and Shakespeare right up to the present day of blogs and hoodies. The dictionary covers one–third of the Oxford English Dictionary in just one–tenth of the size. An amazing resource, which "... should be the cornerpiece of every literate home."
The Shorter comes in three different guises. Firstly, there is the plain edition; next is the deluxe edition, which bundles the two–volume print edition with the CD–ROM version; and finally there is the leather bound edition, our premium version, which comes with a one year subscription to the Oxford English Dictionary Online.
Angus Stevenson, the Shorter's editor, looks at some of the changes in the new edition; read his article here.
Over 2,500 new words have been added to the Sixth Edition; read about a few here.
You'll find Ricky Gervais rubbing shoulders with Shakespeare in the Shorter; read a small selection of the 1,000 additional literary quotations.
What has been said about the Shorter:
"The latest edition of the Shorter Oxford English Dictionary redefines hip."
The New York Post
"The Shorter demands a shelf, but one very close to the desk of anyone who cares about words."
The Daily Telegraph
"The Shorter is the Matterhorn to the great OED's Everest—elegant, awesome, and marvelous to behold, differing only in size. A stupendous achievement!"
