...Hello, I’m Your Motivational Speaker My name is Mai Biz, I’m a renowned guru and motivational speaker. I have been contacted by a national business organization to deliver a two-part seminar on a couple of today’s hottest business topics: Achieving Competitive Advantage and International Business. It is a great pleasure to be standing here in from of all of you today as I share my thoughts on some of the hottest business topics today, which are achieving Competitive Advantage and International Business. Show of hands, how many people feel that competitive advantage in business is an important topic to discuss? As over 90% of the crowd raised their hands, I felt that they were well aware of what competitive advantage is and very interested in my speech today. The other 10% that did not raise their hands will understand more about this business topic and I will address any questions that are necessary. I will begin this speech by defining competitive advantage. It is a position of a company in a competitive landscape that allows the company earning return on investments higher than the cost of investments. The goal is to keep money and sustain its position against competitors. Achieving competitive advantage strengthens and positions a business better within the business environment. As I have given everyone a brief explanation of what competitive advantage is, I will be discussing and connecting international business to competitive advantage. My thoughts on...

...establishing your credibility. It takes a lot of effort to discover your specific brand, so I will take a step by step approach in order to advertise myself. I can get a great grasp on my future by starting from the the very core: values. Self-Reliance Communication Determination Accountability Decisiveness Hard Working Efficiency Loyalty Individuality Trust Values may be seen as ways to accomplish a mission or achieve a certain goal. Individuals as well as organizations may shoot for specific values and goals in order to reach a level of success, including myself. I would not alter any of these values because, to me, they act out of universal importance towards anything I am striving for. In this case, I am establishing necessary values in the general field of business. In choosing the most important values towards my life in regards to my possible career choices, I asked myself what would it take to be the ultimate employee or eventually employer. The answer came down to a self-reliant, communicative, and determined person. These values that I would bring to the table are the cornerstone of a great career. In order to allow yourself to reach your full abilities, you must be able to rely on yourself to complete the tasks at hand. This first value falls under a psychological category because an individual must understand and be able to rely of yourself before moving forward. “Whether you are self-employed or working for a firm, you are in charge of your career (Brand...

...TOEFL Secrets Your Key to TOEFL Success From the desk of Tom Paulson, Director of Test-Taking Strategy at TOEFL Secrets, May 5, 2002Dear future TOEFL Success Story: Congratulations on your purchase of the most advanced test-taking manual for the TOEFL. Notice I did not say study guide- there are plenty of decent study guides on the market, but that was not our objective in writing this manual. Our goal is to seek and exploit specific weaknesses in the TOEFL assessment, and then share those secrets with our customers. Let’s be perfectly honest here- you’ve worked hard enough in the past, and if you want to spend hours in a study guide to boost your score, that’s a great thing to do. In fact, we recommend at least a brief review of some of the better study guides on the market. But that’s simply not enough to do well in the high-pressure high-stakes environment of the test day. How well you do on this test will have a significant impact on your future- and we have the research and practical advice to help you execute on test day. The product you’re reading now is much more than a study guide- it is a tactical weapon designed to exploit weaknesses in the test itself, and help you avoid the most common errors students make when taking the TOEFL. How to use this manual We don’t want to waste your time. This manual is fast-paced and fluff-free. We suggest going through it a number of times, trying out its methods on a number of official practice tests. First, read through the...

...probably be larger than what I have to say. • • In short this material is the log of my transition from reality to actuality. I’ve rounded it up to be a fine bullshit dissolver as well - considering we are swamped in BS as it is, what I’m getting at is quite the rare commodity. Would that I could, flip the script and get you a hot seat on some fascinating new experience limited only by imagination, but alas we are here making sense of the good old bullshit that is clogging our everyday lives. Whatever you deem to be relevant is directly tied into it. Every topic or endeavour you can think of is covered with a thick armoured wall of bullshit and the few exceptions just affirm the rule. You can pretend it doesn’t exist or write it off as a topic you dislike and subsequently avoid. However you and i (yes not capital letter) and everyone intimately know the benefits of lying and extreme senselessness. However it seems the detrimental effects don’t impress most people enough to be spoken aloud - despite all of it reaching critical mass. Hence my writing here, dealing with it for myself and logging it for anyone who’s willing to direct any attention to it. Everything I’ve said in here is my way of outgrowing the loop of bullshit - and it works for me. I’m going to touch on al lot of different points and it would seem...

...eroding my hard-won concentration. And the warmth from his bare chest and arms was turning my fight-tensed muscles to buttery goo. Struggling to maintain my resolve, I growled, “That is totally cheating,” and managed to work my hand free enough to punch him in the arm. “Now let me go.” “If you promise not to kick or bite.” He laughed and set me on the ground. Sea blue eyes flashed with humor from under the waves of black hair that fell around his face. He grinned and touched my cheek, with an expression like he was seeing me for the first time. Like he couldn’t believe that I was standing there with him in all my 3-D humanness. An expression that said he thought he was the lucky one. I rearranged my smile into the best glare I could muster. “I’m making no promises,” I said, wiping the hair that had escaped...

McDeere, at least not on paper. He had the brains, the ambition, the good looks. And he was hungry; with his background, he had to be. He was married, and that was mandatory. The Firm had never hired an unmarried lawyer, and it frowned heavily on divorce, as well as womanizing and drinking. Drug testing was in the contract. He had a degree in accounting, passed the CPA exam the first time he took it and wanted to be a tax lawyer, which of course was a requirement with a tax firm. He was white, and The Firm had never hired a black. They...

...Are Saying About Seven Languages in Seven Weeks Knowing multiple paradigms greatly influences our design abilities, so I’m always on the lookout for good books that’ll help me learn them. This book nicely brings prominent paradigms together. Bruce has experience learning and using multiple languages. Now you can gain from his experience through this book. I highly recommend it. Dr. Venkat Subramaniam Award-winning author and founder, Agile Developer, Inc.

This book does a marvelous job of introducing seven important and diverse languages in a concise—but nontrivial—manner, revealing their strengths and reasons for being. This book is akin to a dim-sum buffet for any programmer who is interested in exploring new horizons or evaluating emerging languages before committing to studying one in particular. Antonio Cangiano Software engineer and technical evangelist, IBM Fasten your seat belts, because you are in for a fast-paced journey. This book is packed with programming-language-learning action.
