This book was released on 2016-09-17 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Gearing Up for Success' aims to help readers understand success and take the actions needed to make them more successful. Many people wonder why their lives seem harder than they should be. They struggle to understand why success rarely comes easy. Some people try really hard to become successful, yet only a few manage to get there. This book can help. It covers the critically important secrets of success that our schools choose not to teach. The book covers the foundation, explaining the meaning of success. Such knowledge by itself can boost one's success chances, because clarity leads to power. The book also unveils the mechanics of success, and shows how to get more of it. Even if the readers use only a small portion of this information, their success scores will definitely go up. Does this mean that one's all dreams can now come true? Not really. Anyone who promises this cannot be serious, because even with the best preparation, we cannot control everything in our lives. But with the tools and ideas described in this book, the readers have an opportunity to get much closer to where they want to be, with much less effort.

It helps men understand what their wives are going through physically and emotionally during and after pregnancy, allowing them to support their most important teammate. It tells men what to expect when their baby is home--and what to do when the unexpected happens. This tell-it-like-it-is book will take men from just winging it to winning it.

Book excerpt: Less than five years after naval aviation led the forces that defeated Imperial Japan that very organization was in serious trouble. The force had been drastically reduced and, despite the Korean War, growing sentiment supported by no less than the chairman of the Joint Chiefs argued that the new Air Force could do anything naval aviation might be required to do. Meanwhile, the naval aviation mishap rate soared. The very survival of naval aviation was at stake. It took fifty years to turn this around. Today, in spite of hot wars, cold wars, contingencies, and peacetime operations in support of friends and allies, the Navy and Marine Corps accident rate is at least as good as that of the Air Force, and it approaches that of commercial aviation. Gear Up, Mishaps Down explains that this accomplishment was achieved through dedicated and professional leadership, a focus on lessons learned from mishaps and near-mishaps, a willingness to learn from other enterprises, and by better leadership, training, maintenance, supply and more.

Book excerpt: Even when finding oneself engaged in interstellar war, good form must be observed. Our story is set thousands of years after the Terran Exodus, where two powerful, planet-dominating families--the elegant House Jakabitus and the less refined Hahn Empire--have reached a critical point in their generations-long war. Master Hennik, the Hahn ruler's only son, has been captured, and the disposition of his internment may represent a last and welcome chance for peace. Enter Wollard, the impeccably distinguished and impossibly correct Master of Formalities for House Jakabitus. When he suggests that Master Hennik be taken in as a ward of the House, certain complications arise. Wollard believes utterly and devotedly in adhering to rules and good etiquette. But how does one inform the ruler of a planet that you are claiming his son as your own--and still create enough goodwill to deescalate an intergalactic war?
