The Road To Success 2 Russian For Everyday Life And Business Communication

This book is not a typical textbook on project management nor is it a collection of real-life project cases. Although the book is written in a textbook format, it combines real-life project cases, research results from analyses of causes of success and failure in projects, and a theoretical review of key methods and terms in project management, supported by references and examples from these real-life cases. The main target group of this book is project management professionals who are seeking to gain insights into the perquisites of project success. Therefore, this book was written with the following goals in mind: (1) to provide the readers with a collection of real-life project cases from different types of industries and sectors, (2) to use empirical evidence from these real-life cases to facilitate understanding of essential concepts and methods in project management, and (3) to present new insights and understandings about project success gained from analysing the cases collectively.

After being diagnosed with terminal cancer, a professor shares the lessons he's learned—about living in the present, building a legacy, and taking full advantage of the time you have—in this life-changing classic. "We cannot change the cards we are dealt, just how we play the hand." —Randy Pausch A lot of professors give talks titled "The Last Lecture." Professors are asked to consider their demise and to ruminate on what matters most to them. And while they speak, audiences can't help but mull over the same question: What wisdom would we impart to the world if we knew it was our last chance? If we had to vanish tomorrow, what would we want as our legacy? When Randy Pausch, a computer science professor at Carnegie Mellon, was asked to give such a lecture, he didn't have to imagine it as his last, since he had recently been diagnosed with terminal cancer. But the lecture he gave—"Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams"—wasn't about dying. It was about the importance of overcoming obstacles, of enabling the dreams of others, of seizing every moment (because "time is all you have . . . and you may find one day that you have less than you think"). It was a summation of everything Randy had come to believe. It was about living. In this book, Randy Pausch has combined the humor, inspiration and intelligence that made his lecture such a phenomenon and given it an indelible form. It is a book that will be shared for generations to come.

A notable contribution to our understanding of ourselves. This book explores the realm of human behavior in social situations and the way that we appear to others. Dr. Goffman uses the metaphor of theatrical performance as a framework. Each person in everyday social intercourse presents himself and his activity to others, attempts to guide and cotnrol the impressions they form of him, and employs certain techniques in order to sustain his performance, just as an actor presents a character to an audience. The discussions of these social techniques offered here are based upon detailed research and observation of social customs in many regions.
