Summary

This carefully crafted ebook is formatted for your eReader with a functional and detailed table of contents.
The 1918 flu pandemic (January 1918 – December 1920) was an unusually deadly influenza pandemic, the first of the two pandemics involving H1N1 influenza virus. It infected 500 million people across the world, including remote Pacific islands and the Arctic, and resulted in the deaths of 50 to 100 million (three to five percent of the world's population), making it one of the deadliest natural disasters in human history. Disease had already greatly limited life expectancy in the early 20th century. A considerable spike occurred at the time of the pandemic, specifically the year 1918. Life expectancy in the United States alone dropped by about 12 years.

Start Publishing Notes' Summary, Analysis, and Review? of Jim Collins's Good to Great: Why Some Companies Make the Leap...and Others Don't includes a summary of the book, review, analysis & key takeaways, and a detailed About the Author section. PREVIEW: In Good to Great: Why Some Companies Make the Leap...and Others Don't, Jim Collins posits that most American entities (from the federal government and multinational corporations all the way down to individuals) are hindered by being good and, thus, do not rise to being great. That good is the enemy of great is not just a business problem, he writes. It is a human problem(16). As such, the question naturally arises: Can a good enough government, company, organization, or person become a great one? If so, is there a discrete methodology that might consis

    Rules Behind Patterns Technique...

    Rules and patterns are everywhere - in things, in our actions and in our thoughts. This idea from Science and Math will teach us how to think and give our mind something to grasp in the reality, to know what's really going on, to make sense of things around us that will help us in many ways to get what we want in life. However, this idea is abstract and difficult to see. 
In this short book (good for those not fond of reading), I created a 2-Question technique that you can use to see this idea easily and bring out more power of thinking that is naturally in you. 
Warning: Two questions that will change your life! 
• Learn fast and think with confidence 
• Communicate clearly 
• Work hard intelligently 
With a little imagination you can see patterns are everywhere from simple to complex, inside and out. Our brains recognize patterns automatically through our senses and predict what will happen next. Like the patterns in the beat of a beautiful music, the patterns in the design of a cozy house, the patterns in the flavors of a delicious food, the patterns in the aroma of an early-morning coffee, the patterns in the intimate hug of a loved one... but wait, there's one more thing... if we actively think of the patterns and figure out the rules behind them, great rewards await us. 
The values of RBP Technique:Build yourself a strong foundation for learning and thinking.Learn fast and think with confidence that you can figure things out when the need arises.Communicate clearly.Work hard intelligently.Gives you realistic view of the world so you can enjoy life.Think creatively and tap on humanity's collection of best work so you can add value to the world and reap its rewards.
