There was no social media at that time, but when that Walmart story hit in Fast Company, I was on CNBC, I was on three NPR shows, I was on 10 regional NPR local shows.” “ I then managed to figure out how to turn it into a really good story, which was a huge hit…. ![]() “I could not, in terms of my own career standing, simply ignore (the Walmart story),” Fishman said. ![]() Resourceful reporters unearth lots of great story angles on their own, which makes them chafe at ideas from anybody else. ➁ Fishman learned that seemingly boring topics may merit a second look. ![]() By the end of the next day, he had written a book proposal for what became “The Walmart Effect.” After the story was published, he never wanted to think about Walmart again until a former Post colleague called to insist he write a book. “There’s got to be something at Walmart worth writing about in Fast Company.” Fishman struggled. “ You shouldn’t be able to read the magazine and never read about Walmart,” the editor said.

![]() ![]() Nicholas Sparks’ grandparents were married for over 60 years, according to the author’s ex-wife. Based on a real-life love story, the book is based on The Notebook. The film depicts an elderly man in a nursing home telling stories to an elderly woman in the same way that a frame story depicts an elderly man in a nursing home telling stories to an elderly woman. He met his ex-wife’s grandparents on the day the couple met, and Nicholas Sparks wrote a book about it. For some sexuality, The Notebook was rated PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America. According to Nicholas Sparks, the film’s screenwriter, Allie and Noah are based on the grandparents of his then-wife’s parents. The notebook is recommended for children aged 13 and up due to the presence of some scenes that may not be suitable for younger children. The Notebook has been made into a movie, which was released in 2004 and starred Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams. The novel tells the story of Noah Calhoun and Allie Nelson, two young lovers who are forced to part ways but are eventually reunited. It was first published in 1996 and has become one of his most popular books.
