Seize The Moment

"What is most striking about Mr. Nixon's charge to seize the moment, nearly all of which is sensible and sound, is the continuity of his counsel." —The New York Times “In Moscow, Khrushchev arrogantly predicted to me, 'Your grandchildren will live under communism.' I responded, 'Your grandchildren will live in freedom.' At the time, I was sure he was wrong, but I was not sure I was right. As a result of the new Soviet revolution, I proved to be right. Khrushchev's grandchildren now live in freedom." In this brilliantly timed book, Richard Nixon defines the challenges and opportunities facing America as the world's sole superpower. Only American leadership, he contends, can guide the turbulent post-Soviet Union world toward freedom and prosperity and make the 21st century an American century. Forcefully dismissing the three prevailing post-Cold War myths about America—that "history has ended" with the defeat of communism, that military power had become irrelevant, and that America is a declining power—Nixon charts the course America must take in the future to seize this moment in history.

In the story of every great company and career, there is one defining moment when luck and skill collide. This book is about making that moment happen. According to Frans Johansson’s research, successful people and organizations show a common theme. A lucky moment occurs and they take advantage of it to change their fate. Consider how Diane von Furstenberg saw Julie Nixon Eisenhower on TV wearing a matching skirt and top, and created the timeless, elegant wrap-dress. That was a “click moment” of unexpected opportunity. Johansson uses stories from throughout history to illustrate the specific actions we can take to create more click moments, place lots of high-potential bets, open ourselves up to chance encounters, and harness the complex forces of success that follow.

Seizing the moment at the attosecond of time is-"when it is meant to be." The author relates to how scientific theories can be integrated into an overarching explanation of how the macro workings of the infinite universe are intertwined with the micro activities of an individual’s activities in the physical world; and how this can be blended with the unseen world of spirituality of the universe, as coexisting parallel intertwined worlds. Science and spirituality are not in opposition to one another but complement each other and provide a more revealing explanation to our fundamental questions of “is it meant to be?” or “is it meant to be,”- Besher’t. In the process of trying to determine the complex concepts implied by “meant to be”, the author explores how one can have a predetermined existence and make “free will” decisions at the same time. Detailing some of the author’s own Besher’t life experiences, he ultimately concludes that one must recognize the spirituality teachings of Kabbalah and current scientific hypothesis of the Unified Theory to understand this complex question of how does free will have a role in predetermination.

"Great careers are improvised.” There are women who wait and women who don't. Author Angela Priestley once fell into the former camp. “I waited for things to happen to me rather than making them happen myself. It wasn't a matter of being lazy or unambitious but rather of simply believing the success I wanted and the things I desired from my career would simply arrive for me...” Women who Seize the Moment addresses the common issues that many women face in their careers. In our society it is not uncommon for people to dislike their job but still work extremely hard. There is an assumption that we will get that raise, eventually, we will get promoted, eventually, I will get my dream job, eventually. Women who Seize the Moment reveals 11 steps women should take to stop waiting for these turning points and make them happen. Coming up with excuses is easy, waiting to finish a diploma, waiting for the perfect job opening, waiting until you’re 25, 30, 35, waiting to get that industry experience. However embracing all opportunities is what will turn your career around. Turning points are so important in shaping a woman’s career. Women still have so many challenges to overcome in order to achieve the success they want; you don’t wan to also be your own enemy. Society has certainly come a long way however managing the competing interests of caring responsibilities with paid work, conscious and unconscious bias in the office, and battling a male-based hierarchy of leadership style still exists in many industries. In Women who Seize the Moment, Angela shares stories from women who've made the most of career turning points: those turning points they have created themselves and those that were beyond their control. They're the women who didn't wait to get the career they wanted, and still don't wait to get the success they desire.

Primarily for women, this book sensitively addresses Christians' fears of not having the right personality, spiritual gifts or circumstances to share the Gospel. Helps readers tap into God-given gifts/talents and witness to others.
