This is how the Teddy Bear came to be!

There once was a village that had among its people a very wise old man. The villagers trusted this man to provide them answers to their questions and concerns. 

One day, a farmer from the village went to the wise man and said in a frantic tone, "Wise man, help me. A horrible thing had happened. My ox has died and I have no animal to help me plow my field! Isn't this the worst thing that could have possibly happened?!"
The wise man had replied, "May be so, may be not."
The man hurried back to the village and reported to his neighbours that the wise man had gone mad. Surely this WAS the worst thing that could have happened.

'I will never, never, as long as I'm black, I will never give up my power to another person.'

Oprah Winfrey

 

One morning in 1990, seventeen million Americans were, as usual, watching The Oprah Winfrey Show on TV. Oprah was talking to four ordinary people who had all had problems at work. They each told a story of greedy companies, selfish bosses and lazy colleagues, while Oprah asked them questions, smiled and listened carefully. Many of the stories were familiar to the people across the US who were watching Oprah's show. Oprah's viewers were mostly ordinary Americans, and many of them had experienced similar problems in their offices, shops and factories.

 

To these people, Oprah was one of them. She had come from a poor family and she had had a tough childhood. She had had to fight for everything in her life. Oprah seemed to be someone who had suffered the same problems as they had and who saw things in the same way.

Introduction

 

For years, working women found they had little chance of getting a top job. The bosses of big business were nearly always men. They were often good at managing money but bad at managing people. Most of them were good at selling traditional products but bad at creating new ones. Many of them thought in the same way, said the same kinds of things and wore the same dark suits.

 

But in recent years, business has changed. There are now opportunities for people to think differently and to manage companies in new ways. At last, women have been able to test new ideas and try new ways of working. Although many women still have problems in the workplace, more and more are reaching the top in their business lives.

 

You will read the stories of women from very different backgrounds who have reached the top in very different ways. They have all succeeded by using their special skills to create completely new kinds of companies.

The Pyramids of Egypt were built during 2700-2500 B.C in Giza on the west bank of the Nile and are the most ancient of the Wonders of the World. The first three of the ten pyramids at Giza are considered to be the most important. The first pyramid is the largest and is known as the Great Pyramid. It was built for Pharaoh Khufu, also known as Cheops, and is 450 feet high.
