I have always been impressed by formal forums, protocols, international representation, and official states’ uniforms. I have full conviction that every culture has the right to be represented and to have its message conveyed across the globe. I believe that the best representation of any country is the person who full-heartedly wishes to do so, with complete devotion and love of what they do. Their only motive is their pride in their country, their belief in their message, and their comprehension of the importance of such duty. Consequently, my spontaneous answer was, as you would have predicted, that I will become an ambassador. Silence enveloped the place, and then shortly, was followed by whispers and mutters. Students’ loud laughter prevailed in the place, giving the impression that they have full knowledge, based on comprehensive and extensive research studies about all the obstacles that may prevent me from achieving my ambition or its requirements, and about the impossibility of achieving my dream. Anyone who sees them would think that they already know the unseen, and are certain of the impossibility of achieving this dream and its requirements. I was under the impression that I told them that I aspire to solely make my own spaceship and travel through galaxies or to travel through time somehow.
In April 2013, Frédéric Pierucci was arrested in New York by the FBI and accused of bribery. The US authorities imprisoned him for more than two years – including fourteen months in a notorious maximum-security prison. In doing so, they forced Alstom to pay the biggest financial penalty ever imposed by the United States. In the end, Alstom also gave up areas of control to General Electric, its biggest American competitor.
Frédéric’s story unpacks how the United States is using corporate law as an economic weapon against its own allies. One after the other, some of the world’s largest companies are being actively destabilised to the benefit of the US, in acts of economic sabotage that seem to be the beginning of what’s to come…
Everything a NQT always wanted to know about starting their teaching career but never dared to ask! This book will take the NQT through a journey which starts with interviews, leads them through the first visit before taking up the job and then into the first hectic weeks and months. Light in touch but rich in content, it can be read around the pool during the holidays before the start of term or kept by the bedside or in a desk drawer for an emergency flick through once teaching gets under way! It expands on the stuff that teacher training touches on, but importantly provides a refreshing look at the nitty-gritty stuff that most training doesn’t! A brilliant book for NQTs.
THE ART OF CREATIVE THINKING reveals how we can transform our businesses, our society and ourselves through a deeper understanding of human creativity. Rod Judkins, a lecturer in creativity at the world-famous St Martin’s College of Art, will examine the behaviour of successful creative thinkers and explain how all of us can learn from them to improve our lives. Judkins will draw on an extraordinary range of reference points, from the Dada Manifesto to Andy Warhol’s studio, via Steve Jobs, Nobel Prize winning economists and many others, and distil a lifetime’s expertise into 90 succinct chapters. Along the way he shares the story of most successful class in educational history (in which every single student won a Nobel prize); shows why graphic nudity during public speaking can be both a curse and surprisingly persuasive; and reveals why, in the twenty-first century, it’s technically illegal to be as good as good as Michelangelo.
Closing deals is among the most important skills that are essential to assure business continuity and career improvement. Yet it is not given much attention during the academic years – in almost all technical specialties such as Computer Science and Engineering.
This fact has a shocking impact on us – technical people – as we only learn to focus on solution-related issues such as design and implementation. We simply have a problem or a requirement, and we learn how to create a solution to it. That is often not the case in the real world.
Whether you are an engineer, a programmer, a pharmacist or from any other technical profession, you will find yourself forced to start dealing with customers in order to progress with your career, and even more if you have decided to start your own business.
If you are serious about improving your career, I very much urge you to pay serious attention to improving your sales and deal-closing skills. Otherwise, you would find yourself facing unnecessary career challenges.
In The Art of Technical Closing, you will find a result-oriented methodology that can help technical professionals in gaining immense and intensive understanding of the most necessary skills required to start winning deals.
This book will provide you with many shortcuts. You will find the tips and advices that are easy to implement and very effective.
Being a software engineer myself, I tried to be as straightforward as possible.
I wish you a pleasant read and hope that you would benefit from my book.

Since the dawn of civilization, we’ve been asking ourselves what it means to live a good life: how should I live, what will truly make me happy, how much should I earn, how should I spend my time? In the absence of a single simple answer, we need a toolkit of mental models, a guide to practical living.
