The commonest thing in the world today is failure. To hear of UNCOMMON SUCCESS is uncommon in itself. It's time for success and to be a success you have to be uncommon. Know this, "Your life was not an after-thought. He had a specific purpose in mind before manufacturing you. Your parents may not think so but that's why they are parents and not creators. Your Creator God used them as vessels to carry you into the world. They may have tried to abort you thinking you were a mistake but you're here to fulfil destiny."

"There are too many people who subject themselves to unnecessary turmoil. Happenings don't just happen. There are causes and effects in everything that happens. Some of this is what I call "remote control"." "Things don't just happen; things are MADE to happen. Every delivery was conceived; every event was invented." Everett talks about vital points to watch in our quest to progress in life. The fire you need, the inspiration you require and the instruction you can't do without are carefully inscribed in this brief book. You will be challenged.

The Changing Japanese Woman: From Yamatonadeshiko to YamatonadeGucci is a humorous take on the notion of ideal Japanese womanhood in the traditional sense, an idea that clashes with the wide array of opportunities open to women today beyond the domestic sphere. The book also touches on Western idealization of aspects of the "Orient" and reflects on modern materialism in a society for which sacrifice used to be highly treasured.

"Read Assure" takes advantage of the best asset all children have in abundance: tremendous brain power hungry for challenges. Children as young as four have successfully mastered reading English through phonics using "Read Assure." The ability to read raises children's confidence and leads to a love of reading and the desire to devour ever more challenging material.
Parents have recognized that starting their children on the road to mastering English gives young learners the necessary tools to become active and engaged players in an increasingly competitive world. "Read Assure" provides an entry point by which young learners can pick up any English book - from picture books to more challenging works - and read them with delight.
Having tried and tested this volume on numerous children with great success, the author can say without hesitation that this may be just what your child needs to develop a lifelong love of and proficiency in the English language.

About the Author:
Everett Ofori, MBA is a Canadian instructor with more than 20 years of experience as a teacher of English as a Second Language. Currently residing in Japan, Everett has had the privilege of teaching the whole spectrum of learners, from children as young as four to seasoned business executives. The writing of "Read Assure" arose out of the simple observation that many of the methods by which children are taught to speak English miss the point, especially when these children do not have the benefit of regular daily interaction with native speakers. The results obtained from the use of this book have been nothing short of spectacular and it is hoped that parents and teachers who are determined to bequeath the gift of English mastery to young learners will find in this book just what they need.

It is possible to overcome barriers to minority success in Canada. The stance of this book is that new immigrants, refugees and international students do not have to settle for underachievement despite the cultural and structural disadvantages they face in Canada. The fact is, the unequal social structure of Canada has some cracks, and many minorities have used strategic resources to open up these cracks and achieved tremendous upward social mobility in Canadian society from the margins. These documented minority successes in Canada in the face of systemic marginalization provide lessons and hope for new immigrants, refugees and international students.
The economic, political, social and cultural problems that minorities encounter in Canadian institutions, organizations, communities and from individuals overwhelm and break many of them. However, some minorities break records in the face of the frustrations they encounter. What accounts for the success of the latter group of immigrants, refugees and international students in Canada? Individual efforts and personal ambitions are not enough to explain these success stories. This book highlights strategies and support systems that facilitate minority strategic connections with Canadian mainstream institutions, organizations and individuals to win from the margins of society.
Although the book does not get into the theories of inequality, equity and diversity, it does acknowledge the structural and cultural barriers to minority success in Canada. That is, it does not blame individual minorities for not making it in Canada. Rather, it points to strategic resources that new immigrants, refugees and international students can use to help them overcome some of the barriers to success in Canada.
