Hard Goals : The Secret to Getting from Where You Are to Where You Want to Be - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: SMART goals will get you only so far . . . If you’re ready to take your life and career to the next level, you’ve got to do it the HARD Goals way. “Ever felt like you weren’t reaching your goals as fast as you would like? HARD GoalsK shows you how to change your thinking and get on the path to tremendous achievement!” Marshall Goldsmith, world-renowned executive coach and author of the New York Times bestsellers MOJO and What Got You Here Won’t Get You There “Hard Goals is full of fascinating insights regarding how to get yourself to achieve things you never thought possible, and Murphy’s key ideas have strong research support. . . . If you want to achieve something great or important in your life, this is the book for you.” —Edwin A. Locke, Ph.D., Professor Emeritus, University of Maryland “If you want a mediocre life, set ho-hum goals. If you want a life filled with excellence and meaning, set HARD Goals. This book shows you how to set HARD Goals and love every minute of achieving them. The end result? Winning in life and unparalleled fulfillment.” Lyle Nelson, four-time Olympian and author of Spirit of Champions “Every company has goals these days. So why do most goals fall short? Why do leaders keep setting the same failed goals year after year? HARD Goals gives you the cutting-edge science to engage every employee in pursuing and achieving extraordinary goals. No more procrastination, foot-dragging, or giving up. With HARD Goals, your organization will achieve astonishing results. Every CEO, manager, and employee needs to read this book!” Kevin M. Andrews, President, SmartBen About the Book: Want to increase sales? Get promoted? Change the world? There’s a goal for that . . . Steve Jobs, Jeff Bezos, the school teacher next door who amassed a million-dollar fortune . . . Did these people succeed because they were more motivated or because they were more disciplined? The answer to both questions is yes—but not in the ways you might think. Anyone can achieve extraordinary things. The secret is setting goals that test the very limits of your abilities. In Hard Goals, Mark Murphy, the acclaimed author of Hundred Percenters, explains the science behind getting from where you are to where you want to be in your career, business, and life. Leadership IQ, Murphy’s top-rated leadership training consultancy, studied nearly 5,000 workers from virtually every field and found that extraordinary goals—the kind that got America to the moon and back, developed the iPod, created nanotechnology, and helped individuals overcome tremendous personal adversity—stimulate and engage the brain in ways that are profoundly different from the goals most people set. Research conducted for this book revealed that people who set Hard goals are up to 75 percent more fulfilled than people with easy goals. In these pages, Mark Murphy explains how success, and the satisfaction it brings, comes from knowing how to set goals that are: Heartfelt—have an emotional attachment, “scratch an existential itch.” Animated—motivated by a vision, that movie that plays over and over in your mind. Required—imbued with such a sense of urgency that you have no other choice but to start acting on them right here, right now. Difficult—the greatest achievements come from the toughest challenges—but they also leave you feeling stronger, smarter, and more fulfilled. People set goals all the time, but the majority end up unfulfilled or abandoned. With all the challenges facing us today, we could use a little more achievement. Hard Goals can help us get there by offering the hard science and practical techniques to conquer procrastination and unlock your brain’s potential for realizing your goals.

Digital Signal Processing 101: Everything you need to know to get started - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: DSP is utilized in just about every electronic system or device. DSP is taking one piece of information be it data, image, video, or audio, most likely compressing, sending, and filtering it to another location within your application to appear in the form of a document, picture or video. Like Smith before it, this book is different to most on the market by following a popular applied approach to this tricky subject, and will be the perfect starting point for engineers who need to get into DSP from the ground floor. This book starts with the absolute basics of this integral process. No experience is expected and with no prior knowledge taken for granted, a refresher chapter on complex numbers and trigonometry can be found at the very beginning of the material. Real-world worked examples, reference designs, and tools - including online applets that enable readers to visualize key principles - complete a package that will help engineers who that needs to learn anew or refresh their memory on this essential technology as they move to projects that require DSP familiarity. Dismayed when presented with a mass of equations as an explanation of DSP? This is the book for you! Clear examples and a non-mathematical approach gets you up to speed with DSP Includes an overview of the DSP functions and implementation used in typical DSP-intensive applications, including error correction, CDMA mobile communication, and radar systems
Finding the Best Business School for You: Looking Past the Rankings - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: Ultimately, finding the best and most appropriate business school requires more than following trends and assessing rankings. Dennis and Smith offer an approach that is designed to help prospective MBA students cast their nets widely, thinking more expansively, creatively, and strategically, with both short- and long-term implications in mind. Discussing the pros and cons of a formal business education (in the context of evolving attitudes toward management and the role of the MBA in developing successful leaders), the authors help readers identify their underlying motivations for pursuing an MBA, learn how to read between the lines of the popular rankings, and utilize the concept of return on investment (ROI) to evaluate programs on the basis of their contribution to long-term professional and personal goals. At a time when one-fourth of all master's degrees conferred are in business, Finding the Best Business School for You offers practical insights for making wise decisions and getting the most out of the MBA experience. The truth is that, in response to changes in the global business environment, many schools are redesigning their curricula, forging closer ties with businesses, and giving students more freedom to customize their degrees. Some of the most innovative programs are being designed at public universities and other institutions out of the spotlight.
Seeds of Deception: Exposing Industry and Government Lies About the Safety of the Genetically Engineered Foods You're Eating - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: I usually buy my books at Amazon, but since I was in Borders, I decided to skim through it to see if it was worth buying for a detailed read. By training, I'm an engineer, but I did a stint in biochemical research, so I think I'm on pretty firm ground in reviewing this collection of propaganda and bad science. Here's what you need to know about the entire subject of genetically modified organisms or genetic engineering without reading this annoyingly inaccurate book: We don't know what we don't know. That's it. GMOs and the entire discipline of GE could be an accident waiting to happen. Or it could be that one day... in the future...it could help the world in one way or another, but we just don't have enough information. So at this point everyone is "talking their book." It's like our current (American) political situation. If you're a Democrat anything a Republican says can be summarily dismissed just because they are not Democats...and of course, vice versa...even if what the other person says is fact. So scientists from companies like Monsanto will talk up all the benefits of their research...and how utterly safe and completely tested their products are...and scientists working for groups that are against this ...for monetary or other reasons, will only offer doomsday scenarios. But neither side has any clue. Remember, there was a time when "we" all believed that the Earth was flat, and that the Sun revolved about the Earth...and scientists at that time could prove it. Just before we set off the first nuclear weapon, there were scientists who were concerned that this thing, this nuclear thing, if allowed to be detonated would ignite the atmosphere with catastrophic results. it's not that they were wrong, it's that we got lucky. There just was no way that the bomb was not going to be set off...."too much was at stake"....whatever that means. If you really want to learn about genetic engineering...and you want to teach the entire family about it,in a relatively PG environment, go to your DVD collection, or your friendly online streaming facility and watch Jurassic Park - the original...and pay careful attention to the movie that they watch in the beginning and to Jeff Goldblum's character, Ian Malcolm. The movie has pretty good science - especially the prescient comment by Malcolm that "Nature finds a way." My only concern at this point is that there is an effort afoot (by powerful interests, of course) to stop the labeling of GE products. Like I said, I don't know what I don't know, so I am really not for or against the industry, but I would like to have the opportunity to decide if I want to eat, wash with, wear or be near products that didn't take the evolution route (Geez,I just realized, what if you, dear reader, don't believe in evolution - then we have bigger problems) There is no way to stop "progress." No way. Highways and cars and TVs and computer monitors, microwaves and cellphones all had detractors - all were going to give us brain cancer, poison our foods destroy the atmospher and so on. And there was a group of people who actually got their way for a brief period of time and prevented those of us who enjoy Scotch from having any...for shame... But progress will win out...it's inevitable.. The really hard part about progress, especially that now that we "know everything about everything" is that we don't progress ourselves into oblivion....
