about love from the Persian mystic poet and Sufi master have been
carefully collected and curated in this beautifully illustrated

perfectly express and are centered on the theme of love, along with
the quest, desire, and deeper meanings of love for not only
ourselves, but also of our fellow humankind. The Sweetheart the
sweetheart who is blocking my sleep demands tears on my knees
throwing me silently into the waves changing the water to liquid

In a time when crossing guards are posted to prevent high schoolers
from jumping in front of trains and parents shelling out $100K for
packaged college applications, education has become a mad race to
grab the Ivy ring. Based on experience in admissions with the Ivy
League and other highly competitive universities, emerging
scientific evidence on the impact of emotional intelligence and
mindfulness, and discussions with admissions officers, students,
families, and high school counselors, this book is a guide on how
to go through the existing, however brutish, college applications
process with less stress and anxiety, and more joy and mindfulness.
Equipped with the powerful tools of emotional intelligence and
mindfulness, this work acknowledges the reality of what the process
is, and challenges young people to reach for a more meaningful
ideal for themselves. This book shares a look at the holistic
admissions process and offers an alternative one to the current
climate of untenable stress. This updated model aims to shift
mindsets from treating the admissions process as a ruthless
competition with one externally-prescribed definition of success,
to a step in a lifelong journey of curiosity and wonder. By
building self-awareness, compassion, resilience, it's possible to
navigate the process with greater authenticity, balance, and joy.
