Nancy D'Alesandro Pelosi didn't begin running for office until she was forty-six years old, her five children mostly out of the nest. Since then she has lived on the cutting edge of the revolution in both women's roles and in the nation's movement to a fiercer and more polarized politics. She has been a crucial friend or formidable foe to U.S. presidents, a master legislator, and an indefatigable political warrior. When Donald Trump was elected to the White House, Pelosi became the Democratic counterpart best able to stand up to the disruptive president and to get under his skin. The battle between Trump and Pelosi, chronicled in this book with behind-the-scenes details and revelations, stands to be the titanic political struggle of our time. -- Adapted from jacket.… (meer)

Madam Speaker

1. Help people in need by assisting them in figuring out how you can best serve them so that they can help others and therefore help you understand their heart and be of good cheer and excellent service to others and to them and their progression in life.
2. Forge alliances with those in your community in person and those that you work on projects with. Return favors by helping those in need as well as those who need it and do good and assist those by paying it forward.
3. Be assertive yet diplomatic and humble. Do not push yourself. Be in the background.
4. Stand up. Stand up for the maligned. Stand up for the ignored. Stand up for those who need someone in their corner to defend, to comfort, to provide support or support them in the good times and bad times, a listening ear or to listen to them no matter what regardless of race, ethnicity, or religious background or opinion.
5. Speak up. Speak up for the less educated, and those that are looked down upon by society. Be friendly and make connections across race and ethnic lines and be different from those around you in your outlook, speech, behavior and mannerisms through adopting the cultural norms and habits of the language culture that you are studying inspired by the person who motivated and inspired you to learn the language in the first place. Read widely and without bias or filters.
6. Listen. Learn to listen deeply and wholeheartedly to what is being said and communized verbally, nonverbally and by what they are stating in their attitudes through reading between the lines to figure out and get to the deeper issues by understanding what they mean. This requires being adaptive conscious and readily adapting to any situation or person or cultural norm at a moment’s notice.
7. Be endlessly patient in listening. Let the other person talk. All you have to do is hear them out and not judge them or their stance.
8. Think big. Think big by taking notes on what you read through commonplace books or what you are learning from a culture in whose language you are studying or writing about. Think big about why you want to write about such an issue or topic and research it in finite detail and in an outline format before putting it for others to see. Remember be nice and write honestly about issues so others can see the beauty you see in people and different cultures and people that make up a family or culture or community.
9. Make peoples lives better. Period. Do good. Be good. Live good.
10. Keep your head up and trust in God and the path He is leading you on. Be true to yourself and be who God made you to be. Be unique. Be different.
11. Proper preparation prevents poor performance- Nancy Pelosi. Properly prepare for class and work by doing things ahead of time and reading ahead of what the class is focusing on. At work instead of being on your phone hand it over to someone who willlook after it and your book you are currently reading. Instead of being on your phone work without your phone. Get your phone on break but only to check the time and read a book instead. Don’t talk to anyone. Just read and educate yourself and grow emotionally and mentally.
12. Let’s have some cooperation- Nancy Pelosi. Work with your parents at all times. Obey them. Do not be like your siblings and have an aught against them. Truly you don’t have an aught against your parents or anyone else. Be different and see the bright and positive side of circumstance and issues. Yes you have a lifestyle changing illness but that does not give you the excuse to be disrespectful and rude to anyone. At all. Treat everyone with love and respect despite what the stats of your lifestyle changing illness says.
13. Figure out what matters to your parents. Work with them in that aspect of what they care about. Rigure out what matters to your readers. Work and deliver on what they want to read by being unique and doing things differently and in your own way and style. They will still read it anyways. Post when you are ready to and do not worry about what people think of your story. Just write and be true to yourself and to the issues you write about and research in your novels. Take your time and time takes work. Be patient with yourself and enjoy the process of researching, writing, and posting on your own time and schedule. Be consistent and love it because you are doing it to make your readers pause, think, reflect, and make a difference.
14. Forge bonds amid shifting dynamics. Be diplomatic and discrete yet firm in having healthy, positive, mutually beneficial relationships with those you come into contact with in whatever form possible.
15. First you need to know how to play the game- Nancy Pelosi. Ignore your siblings and focus on having a healthy relationship with yourself, your parents, and God. Save time by doing things your way and paying your way for whatever you want-within reason-and make sure you adapt to whatever language’s culture, customs, mannerisms and behaviors that you are studying. Take it one habit or sentence at a time. Once adapting to one standard move to the next one.
16. Then you need to know how to win the game- Nancy Pelosi. Win the game by learning to heal and living away from the Internet and technology but be constantly writing and drafting ideas and learning through reading books and educating yourself Abkhazia different cultures and practices and adopting them as your own.
17. Values- Have values based on the Bible and whatever language you are studying from the culture(s). State your values in writing but do not force anyone to adopt them. They are yours.
18. Discipline- Be disciplined with your time and breaks. Take a rest if you need it. Physically, mentally, emotionally, and voice wise. Run your life and finances and education like a business. Don’t let anyone run it for you. At all. You run your ship. Well you and God.
19. Diplomacy- Be a diplomat with your various family members and their varying religious beliefs. Embrace them and get to know them on their own terms despite if you never can see them again for person reasons. But do stay in contact with them and be a good family member and be kind and without prejudice or bias.
20. Interpersonal Skills- Adopt the interpersonal skills of the culture whose language you are studying. I.e. Scots- be soft spoken. Finnish- be silent and think and use few words. Read books about the culture and books by authors from those countries or who live in those countries in whatever genre you can find.
21. Manage Chaos- Be in contact with your family that you want to be in contact with for whatever reason. But only if they actively want you to be in contact. Don’t bother if they don’t want you to be in contact. Just leave them be to live their own lives in peace. Ignore whatever is going on and love them for what they are and how you can help them be the best they can be by being their personal cheerleader in faith and encouragement.
22. Motivate People- Motivate people by figuring out what gets them excited or enthusiastic and deliver what they want but on your terms and capabilities.
23. She learned to command- Make your presence be in the background but your absence felt by commanding respect from those around you by quietly encouraging them and leading them when necessary but never pushing them at all in a negative way. Ever. Let people like you for you and not for whose daughter you are.
24. She learned to delegate- Delegate tasks by forgiving our what you can do in a day or a week and push the other tasks aside. Be effective but also be in a state of flow without technology or the Internet influencing you.
25. To understand what appeals would resonate best with each individual- Get to know others on their terms and quietly adapt to their communication styles and preferences without losing who you are as s person or an individual.
26. To lead- To lead others in the good times and bad. Never complaining. Always understanding people and never giving up your dream and mission of spreading joy wherever you go and speaking up for the maligned or ignored in society.
27. “Don’t agonize; organize”- Nancy Pelosi. Instead of agonizing over things, organize your life and duties with precision and care and get things done that you want to or that you have to do.
28. “No whining; just winning.” Win at life by planning what you want to do and getting it done quietly and moving on to the next task. In finance. In reading. And in being an author of novels. ( )
