When secrets are bright enough, their hiding places will be found and the truth will shine…

Joseph Gold explains that Pip’s first awareness of “the identity of things” in the graveyard on Christmas Eve is an outstanding English illustration “of the most ancient questions, ‘who am I?’ and ‘why am I here?’” (242). In Pip’s search for a meaningful identity, Dickens has incorporated the desire of all humanity to understand its existence and find a place in the world.

Congenital optic nerve hypoplasia (ONH) is a condition in which one or both optic nerves are not fully developed, giving the appearance of abnormally small, pale optic nerve heads upon fundus examination (AAPOS, n.d.). In comparison to the size of the disc, the retinal blood vessels appear larger than normal, when in actuality the vasculature is of normal caliber (Kaur et al, 2013). This non-progressive developmental abnormality is typically characterized by a combination of neurological,…

The defining characteristic of a family firm is a long-term orientation. For example, a recent study by Yu, Brigham, Sorenson and Lumpkin (2012) summarized the data from 12 years of family business research and they found that family firms are mostly characterized by a long-term orientation, as revealed in a governance focus on strategic and succession planning.
