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.

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.

About the Author:

Writing, and Public Speaking. He holds an MBA from Heriot-Watt
University (Scotland, UK). Everett has helped hundreds of high
school and university students around the world to improve their
writing and grades. He has worked extensively with business

their writing skills. Other books by Everett Ofori include:
"Succeeding From the Margins of Canadian Society" and "Read Assure:
Guaranteed Formula for Reading Success with Phonics."
"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.
