HOW TO DEVELOP WILL-POWER: Willpower is a concentration of your
Mind Force. It helps you to gather up all your inner strengths and
make a massive thrust forward. You attack your challenges
strategically at their weakest points until they crack, allowing
you enough room to manoeuvre deeper into their territory and finish
them off. Will-power gives you the ability to overcome laziness and
procrastination. It is the ability to control or reject unnecessary
or harmful impulses. It gives you the ability to set your goals and
follow it with perseverance until its successful accomplishment. It
is the inner power that overcomes the desire to indulge in
unnecessary and useless distractions, and also provided you the
inner strength that overcomes inner emotional and mental resistance
for taking action. It is the ultimate corner stone of Success, both
spiritual and material. Your thoughts, which are part of your mind,
create your Will-Power. The thoughts that you most often think tend
to come true in your life as they influence your Will-Power. If you
pour your Will-Power into the same thoughts or mental images day
after day, they will become stronger and stronger, and would
consequently affect your attitude, expectations, behaviour and
actions. Willpower also gives you the power of choice. When you
begin to see the choices in each of the decisions that you make,
and start to consciously choose what you decide on, you will
develop a good amount of inner strength. Your Will-Power is like a
muscle: exercising it will strengthen it. Sticking to your goal and
having clear plans to attain small targets will strengthen the
"muscle" and enable you to tackle larger targets. Ultimately it is
your Will-Power which will help you shape your own Destiny. This
inspiring book has been written in such a way so that it gives you
the power to generate massive Will-Power.

Aquaculture is the science and technology of breeding and growing
aquatic plants. Aquaculture has been in practice in China and India
for more than 2000 years. However, the realisation of its role in
meeting the world's food needs and of the need to develop it as an
industry is more recent. Scientific aquaculture can ensure steady
and regular protection of fish, which may be increased considerably
with planned input of modern technology, similar to the case of
scientific agriculture in relation to the production of land-based
food crops. Aquaculture has therefore the potential of being the
second largest means of food production next only to agriculture.
This book presents various features of coastal aquacultural
operations with emphasis on theoretical considerations in the
planning and design of engineering structures.
Agility and innovation are necessary to achieve global excellence
and customer value in twenty-first century business; yet most
approaches to business process engineering sacrifice these in favor
of operational efficiency and economics. Moreover, the IT systems
used to automate and encapsulate business processes are
unresponsive to the dynamic business environment. Mitra and Gupta
provide insight to close this gap - showing how innovation can be
systematized with normalized patterns of information, how business
processes and information systems may be tightly aligned, and how
these processes and systems can be designed to automatically adapt
to change by reconfiguring shared patterns of knowledge. A modular
approach to building business systems that parallels that of object
oriented software is presented. Practical templates required for
accelerating integration, analysis and design are provided. This
book will appeal to consultants, analysts, and managers in IT as
well as researchers and graduate students in business, management
and IT.
