How to Start Your Own Language Translation & Interpreter Business by Salvador Soto Pdf

Cissy Wechter, widowed after a long-term marriage, passes along what she's learned as a suddenly single "sixty-something." This book of real-life experiences-written for real-life women-will change your life! "For the millions of women who are looking for 'That Guy,' this is your handbook." Phyllis Diller "Cissy's book is a wonderful example of the resilience and power of women. She says we all have to keep on going with love, imagination and sex, and she tells us in a funny, honest way. More power to women.at any age!!!" Teri Garr "Our capability for being truly alive well into the age limits of our lives has barely been tapped and articulated. With this book the bar has officially been raised.read, learn and enjoy!" Herb Goldberg, Ph.D., The Inner Male, The New Male "Though Cissy is a city gal with zero body fat, she speaks to all women in their sixties. She is very honest about her biases and disappointments. Cissy urges women to take chances and her book is chock full of possibilities for those of us women over sixty who often feel invisible. Check it out." Marcia Wallace, Don't Look Back-We're Not Going That Way "If you want to stay a smart and sexy Grrl Genius in your sixties and way beyond, listen to what Cissy has to say, and for heaven's sake, do it!" Cathryn Michon, The Grrl Genius Guide to Sex (With Other People) Cissy Wechter, widowed after a long-term marriage, shares what she's learned as a suddenly single "60-something." She draws not only on her own experience jumping back into the dating world after more than 40 years, but also on her survey of senior women across America. Often undervalued by the men in their age group, sometimes feeling like "old clunkers" in the fast lane, unsure whether to claim a love for sushi and rap or admit a preference for broiled chicken and oldies radio, these women face new decisions daily. They wonder, "What are we, chopped liver? Just because we know how to make it..." Whether you wear a size 3 or 3X, have a Ph.D. or dropped out of high-school...whether you're widowed, divorced, or you've always been single...if you're a woman "of a certain age" challenged by today's dating scene, you must read this book. Cissy's amorous adventures, outspoken opinions, and candid words of advice might seem outrageous to some - especially coming from a woman her age. But her refreshing honesty and breezy writing style makes this book as much fun as a cross between The Golden Girls and Sex and the City. Currently living with a younger man, Cissy has found a way to live her own life to the fullest, and senior women everywhere would do well to follow her advice. After all, these may not be the BEST years of their lives, but they're definitely the best ones they have left!

48 Home Business Ideas Guide by Manuela Willbold,Fernando Raymond Pdf

Introduction “Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary. “– Steve Jobs, Co-founder of Apple Have you ever really taken the time to think about what you actually want out of your own life? It’s not an easy task and many people don’t make the effort as they probably feel it’s not that important. But, if you’re in a place where you’re questioning your lifestyle and what you do for a living, then this should be the first step you take to identify what you really want to spend the majority of your time doing. At ClickDo Ltd., a digital marketing & SEO agency in London, the authors do what they love every single day and with this book they want to provide you with inspiration to find something you can see yourself doing in the near future. Fernando Raymond, the CEO of ClickDo Ltd., and Manuela Willbold, blogger & senior content writer at ClickDo Ltd., have created this guide with a mission to show people that as the internet marketplace grows, there are almost endless work options online for anyone with any talent and skill. With the creative support and vision of ClickDo senior web designer Kasun Sameera, this book has come to life. “In 20 years, you will be more disappointed by what you didn’t do than by what you did. “– Mark Twain, American writer We’ve all gone through this same experience: we went to school, got a degree and worked – but did we do what we felt passionate about? Fernando started ClickDo Ltd. because he asked himself that exact question. His vision was to lead a free life where he could work from anywhere in the world. He identified his passion for SEO and digital marketing and set up ClickDo Ltd. with only a few clients in the early days. Kasun joined him and together they went on the journey of building many more online businesses like web hosting company SeekaHost. Manuela felt an emerging passion for writing while working as a teacher and found ClickDo while searching for WordPress Training to start her own blog. Now, she writes content and manages various ClickDo blogs. If they can do it, so can you!

How to Manage a Successful Business in China by Johan Bj”rkst‚n,Anders H„gglund Pdf

This unique book discusses how to manage an organization in China. It is based on the invaluable practical experience of entrepreneur Johan Bjrkstn, who successfully built a local consulting business with over 100 employees, and Anders Hgglund, a seasoned manager who set up high-growth and highly profitable operations in China for a major industrial multinational. The book provides widely applicable advice based on experiences from different industries, including but not limited to those of the authors. Most books about business in China belong to one of two categories: autobiographical "success stories" or academic treatises. Managing in China goes beyond these genres to provide highly relevant, practical advice and checklists, as well as concrete and illustrative examples from the authors' own experience. Managing in China succinctly explains how historical, cultural and social factors influence today's Chinese business environment, and how managers should take this into account in day-to-day operations. The book focuses on managing in a rapid-growth environment, but also provides advice on how to ensure sustainable operations and profitability in mature industries or a temporary downturn.

Diverse Voices in Chinese Translation and Interpreting by Riccardo Moratto,Martin Woesler Pdf

This book presents a thoughtful and thorough account of diverse studies on Chinese translation and interpreting (TI). It introduces readers to a plurality of scholarly voices focusing on different aspects of Chinese TI from an interdisciplinary and international perspective. The book brings together eighteen essays by scholars at different stages of their careers with different relationships to translation and interpreting studies. Readers will approach Chinese TI studies from different standpoints, namely socio-historical, literary, policy-related, interpreting, and contemporary translation practice. Given its focus, the book benefits researchers and students who are interested in a global scholarly approach to Chinese TI. The book offers a unique window on topical issues in Chinese TI theory and practice. It is hoped that this book encourages a multilateral, dynamic, and international approach in a scholarly discussion where, more often than not, approaches tend to get dichotomized. This book aims at bringing together international leading scholars with the same passion, that is delving into the theoretical and practical aspects of Chinese TI.
