  The American Dream - A History...

  The roots of the American Dream reach back to the earliest colonial settlements, when European settlers arrived with hopes of building a better life far from the constraints of their homelands. For many, the New World offered something previously unimaginable—land ownership, religious freedom, and the possibility of rising above the station into which they were born. These opportunities, though limited to a select group at the time, laid the foundation for the evolving idea that anyone could succeed through hard work and determination. In this fertile but dangerous land, ambition was a necessity, and the early colonists began to shape a cultural identity around individualism and perseverance. 
  As the colonies grew and developed, tensions with Britain intensified, giving rise to revolutionary ideas that would further fuel the American Dream. The rejection of monarchy and the assertion of natural rights became central to the vision of a new nation. The Revolution itself was not just a fight for independence but also a declaration that ordinary people had the right to govern themselves. The rhetoric of the time emphasized liberty, equality, and the pursuit of happiness—concepts that would become permanently embedded in the national consciousness. The struggle to gain freedom was brutal and uneven, but the ideals expressed during this time continued to inspire generations to believe in the possibility of social mobility and personal fulfillment. 
  One of the most significant documents in American history, the Declaration of Independence, formalized the promise of the American Dream. Its bold claim that "all men are created equal" introduced a national aspiration that transcended the immediate political conflict. Although in practice this equality was far from realized, the statement set a powerful ideal against which future Americans would measure their progress.

  What has changed in the workplace? Everything.The traditional office was probably doomed anyway. Then a global shutdown changed everything we thought we knew about work, including where and when it needed to take place. Automation and the Fourth Industrial Revolution have accelerated, and perhaps as much as one third of the world’s permanent workforce will soon become remote. In The Nowhere Office, Julia Hobsbawm offers a strategic and practical guide to navigating this pivotal moment in the history of work and provides lessons for how both employees and employers can adapt.Hobsbawm draws on her extensive networks in business, academia, and entrepreneurship across  generations to offer new ideas about how to handle hybrid working, as well as provides deep insight into how the way we work is being transformed by larger issues such as community, hierarchy, bias, identity, and security. The Nowhere Office describes a unique moment in the history of work which, if understood and handled correctly, can provide a springboard for the biggest transformational change in the workplace for a century: something better, more meaningful, and more workable for everyone.

  In past times, all the adventures experienced by sailors on each ocean crossing were recorded by the captain in his navigation logbook, the captain's logbook, a manuscript carefully written by the highest rank of the boat, written with a pen and guard in his main cabin. In this manuscript, the captain had to write down everything that happened during his trip, a complete adventure manual, for those who would read it in the future. 
  	This book will be our captain's blog. A manuscript written by airline pilots, who have shared their stories with us, and want to offer their stories to the world. Each of the stories detailed in this work are real, modifying some data and information to protect the privacy of those who have told them. 
  	Accompanied by these flight stories, we will learn the real stories of professional success of some of our colleagues, who have decided to share their own personal stories to show that every dream is possible, even when it is impossible. 
  	Cockpit Stories is the first book of the Aeronautical Library that departs from technical teachings and seeks to entertain its readers with fabulous stories lived in the cockpit, where it is presumed that what happens in the cabin, remains in the cabin. 
  	We live in an aeronautical environment where every day more tools are demanded and greater obstacles appear to achieve the long-awaited dream of flying. Today we will pause to enjoy aviation again, through the eyes of those who have seen charming landscapes, unique storms, complex approaches and everything from the front row, the cockpit.

The most successful scientists who enter the private sector approach their work as if it were a game, with rules that need to be followed but with no clear 'right way' to do things.
