Mind Tools- Essential skills for an excellent career


Welcome to Mind Tools!
This e-book is a tool kit for your mind.
On its own, a screwdriver will only help you in a small way. Although it can be very useful, there are only a
few jobs that you can use it for. When, however, you use this screwdriver as part of a complete tool kit,
the range of options open to you is enormous. A craftsman with a good tool kit can make many different,
useful things.
Similarly, individual thinking skills used on their own may help you in a small way. When, however, you
use many different thinking skills together, your ability to solve problems increases significantly. Mind
Tools is a tool kit of thinking techniques. It will help you to think and live excellently.
The first four modules of Mind Tools cover the techniques that will make you a more effective business
thinker. Module 1, Creativity Tools, shows you how to generate fresh and innovative ideas reliably. The
next two modules, Tools for Understanding Complex Situations and Techniques for Effective Decision
Making, give you the skills you need to understand many difficult problems, and make the best decisions
possible with the information available. Module 4, Project Planning & Management Skills, shows you how
to plan, schedule and implement complex projects.
Modules 5 and 6 explain how to study and remember information. These techniques will help you to study
more effectively when you need to master a new subject or when you want to pass examinations. The
section on Memory Techniques also explains useful ways of remembering people’s names, lists of
information, foreign languages, etc.
The final two modules explain the time and stress management skills that you will need as you become
increasingly successful. They explain how to control and dissipate the pressures that will build around
you. These tools will help you to live a happy life as well as a highly successful one.
The best way to use this e-book is to skim through it quickly so that you get an overview of what is
contained within it. Then read through the sections that are useful to you in more detail, so that you
remember the bones of the methods. Finally, keep Mind Tools on your PC desktop, and refer to it
whenever you need a new approach to solving a problem. It will be worth skimming through it periodically
to keep the range of tools you now have available fresh within your mind.
The Tool List at the start of the e-book will help you to select techniques, as you need them. Whenever
you begin to feel out of control or feel that you are not being fully effective, try scanning this list to see if
there is a technique that can help you. Once you understand the basic tool, adapt it and refine it to suit
your circumstances and the way that you think.
Welcome to powerful thinking!

Silmarillion - J.R.R. Tolkien

The Silmarillion is a collection of J. R. R. Tolkien's mythopoeic works, edited and published posthumously by his son Christopher Tolkien in 1977, with assistance from Guy Gavriel Kay,[1] who later became a noted fantasy writer. The Silmarillion, along with J. R. R. Tolkien's other works, forms a comprehensive, yet incomplete, narrative that describes the universe of Middle-earth within which The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings take place.

After the success of The Hobbit, and prior to the publication of The Lord of the Rings, Tolkien's publisher requested a sequel to The Hobbit, and Tolkien sent them an early draft of The Silmarillion. But through a misunderstanding, the publisher rejected the draft without fully reading it, with the result that Tolkien began work on "A Long Expected Party", the first chapter of what he described at the time as "a new story about Hobbits", which became The Lord of the Rings.

The Silmarillion comprises five parts. The first part, Ainulindalë, tells of the creation of Eä, the "world that is". Valaquenta, the second part, gives a description of the Valar and Maiar, the supernatural powers in Eä. The next section, Quenta Silmarillion, which forms the bulk of the collection, chronicles the history of the events before and during the First Age, including the wars over the Silmarils which gave the book its title. The fourth part, Akallabêth, relates the history of the Downfall of Númenor and its people, which takes place in the Second Age. The final part, Of the Rings of Power and the Third Age, is a brief account of the circumstances which led to and were presented in The Lord of the Rings.

The five parts were initially separate works, but it was the elder Tolkien's express wish that they be published together. Because J. R. R. Tolkien died before he finished revising the various legends, Christopher gathered material from his father's older writings to fill out the book. In a few cases, this meant that he had to devise completely new material in order to resolve gaps and inconsistencies in the narrative.

The Stock Market for Dummies

The stock market is a place where stocks, bonds, or other securities are bought and sold. When you buy stocks or shares in a company you gain part ownership in that company. In today’s world people buy stocks in order to gain dividends on money that they have invested. Some advantages of buying stocks over bank deposits; money-market funds or bonds are that stocks have a long historical track. Although the disadvantages of buying stocks are that the market fluctuates very often and the stocks are never guaranteed so you may loose all of the money you have invested.
Before deciding on what type of stock you are going to purchase, you must determine what type of investor you are. There are two types of investors: technicians and fundamentalists. Technicians are investors that tend to buy and sell stocks very quickly. These investors are not interested in book values, dividends or earning although they study the price patterns of that certain stock. Fundamentalists are investors that look for long-term growth in a company. They consider such factors as earning, dividends and book values and are as interested in the price patterns because they are in for long term growth so they know that the market will fluctuate.
When you are buying stocks there are three different types that you may choose from: penny stocks, growth stocks and blue chip stocks.
Penny stocks are stocks from a company that has almost no chance of developing into a big company and the stocks are of very little monetary value. These stocks for example would be a chain of local pizza stores that would never make it into the big market of restaurants, such as Pizza Hut, but would do well in it’s local market.
Growth stocks are companies that have a high potential to achieve great success, but they can also be very risky investments because they not are well established. An example of this type of company would one that invents a product that may make a big impact on the market (similar to when air bags were invented those stocks probably rose drastically). These stocks would be the intermediate level in the purchasing of stocks.
The highest level of stock purchasing is buying blue chip stocks. These stocks are of companies that are very well established and have almost no chance of its’ stocks dropping drastically. Some of these stocks would be of companies such as McDonald’s Corp., General Motors Corp., Coca-Cola Co., etc. Although blue chip stocks are the best stocks to invest in, they can also be very expensive limiting you to only buy a few of that companies shares.
Often when the price of a stock plateaus, the company decides to “split” its stock. When this occurs, you receive more stock for the money you have already invested. But when your company’s stock splits “two-for-one,” you get twice the amount of stock but the value of that stock depreciates by 50%. Reverse splitting means that the stock doubles in value although you only get to keep half the stocks you had before. Any way the stock may split, you will not lose your money.
In any company’s stock there are two different types of stocks you can buy: Common Stock and Preferred Stock.
Common stock in a company shows you that you own a fraction (called a share) of a company. Since common stock has a high potential for gain, common stock holders are the last persons to receive their dividends after those who own preferred stock.
Preferred stock is sold to the public after all the common stock is sold. Companies who are going out of business have to pay out their preferred stock owners first because they have paid a higher premium for that same stock. Preferred stock owners only receive a fixed dividend payment, making it the only drawback for people to purchase this type of stock.
After you have decided what type of stock to purchase, you must find a broker. This person will only take orders to buy and sell stock tickets. Every brokerage firm has two types of brokers. Stockbrokers help by giving advice on investing and by doing research on stocks. Discount brokers are the “middle man” of buying and selling stocks and do not research or give advice. After you find a broker all that you have to do is give him, or her, a call when wanting to buy or sell your stock.

Games people play by Eric Berne

Games People Play: The Psychology of Human Relationships is a 1964 bestselling book by psychiatrist Eric Berne. Since its publication it has sold more than five million copies.[1] The book describes both functional and dysfunctional social interactions.In the first half of the book, Berne introduces Transactional Analysis as a way of interpreting social interactions. He describes three roles or ego states known as the Child, the Parent, and the Adult and postulates that many negative behaviors can be traced to switching or confusion of these roles. He discusses procedures, rituals, and pastimes in social behavior, in light of this method of analysis. For example, a boss who talks to his staff as a controlling parent will often engender self-abased obedience, tantrums, or other childlike responses from his employees.

The tough guide to fantansyland


The Tough Guide To Fantasyland (1996) is a book by Diana Wynne Jones that humorously examines the common tropes of a broad swathe of fantasy fiction. It was nominated for both a Hugo award and a World Fantasy Award.

The book takes the unusual angle of presenting itself as a tourist guidebook. It claims that the fantasy worlds depicted in many fantasy novels, games and films are in fact part of a single land. In an extended metaphor, the readers (or viewers or players) are tourists; authors are tour guides, and their stories are sight-seeing tours or package holidays to this Fantasyland. In this context, it catalogues many of the common places, peoples, artifacts, situations, characters and events likely to be found on such a journey Рin other words, the archetypes and clich̩s found in fantasy fiction.
