In it, Dio Chrysostomos describes the dwelling and way of life of a hunter he has met, who lives in complete simplicity along with an extended family -- they hunt, and till the land a little, not concerning themselves with wealth but merely with obtaining enough to survive (Atchity & McKenna, 315). The man Dio Chrysostomos describes meeting in this speech also tells him how their fathers used to keep herds for a rich man, and how on this man's death the herds and lands were taken by other rich men, leaving them without their mode of survival until they realized that the complexities of working for another were totally unnecessary, and they went back to the simple way of life that nature had intended and became entirely self-sufficient. In this speech, Dio Chrysostomos describes not only the quintessential virtuous life that the cynics were...

Frankl mainly refers to the "super-meaning" or to the ultimate meaning of life from a general existential or cosmological perspective -- not the personalized meaning in one individual's purpose in life, which is a different question (p. 74). A state of meaninglessness is the inability to move forward and progress
One of them is that these schools are not aimed at average children, but at specifically high risk children, who may either be disabled, or may be juvenile delinquents. This means that researchers would not be able to draw fair conclusions form their studies, because the performance levels of these children would be significantly lower than that of other children.

We compose our own ideas in our head and transmit them to the world in speech. Yet, on the other hand, it is just as easy to claim that because our words are the result of a series of subtle
The assumption here is that counselor burnout may be heightened as a result of the diversity of students who attend post secondary educational institutions, and the variety of services the 2-year postsecondary counselors must provide to these students. This assumption is congruent with the findings of a study by Wilkerson and Bellini (2006) who advise, "Professional school counselors are asked to perform multiple duties as part of their daily
" To be more precise, the authors explain that there is a procedure that has been created as an aspect of the theoretical model of Structural Adaptation to Regain Fit (SARFIT) (Donaldson). This model asserts that when an organization in fit experiences improved performance that results it results in excess resources and leads to growth in size, geographic expansion, innovation or diversification. This in turn increases the number of contingency variables.
