    Winners Dream: A Journey from Corner Store to Corner Office , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 621min
    A leadership and career manifesto told through the narrative of one of today’s most inspiring, admired, and successful global leaders. In Winners Dream, Bill McDermott - the co-CEO of the world’s largest business software company, SAP - chronicles how relentless optimism, hard work, and disciplined execution embolden people and equip organizations to achieve audacious goals. Growing up in working-class Long Island, a 16-year-old Bill traded three hourly wage jobs to buy a small deli, which he ran by instinctively applying ideas that would be the seeds for his future success. After paying for and graduating college, Bill talked his way into a job selling copiers door-to-door for Xerox, where he went on to rank number one in every sales position he held and eventually became the company’s youngest-ever corporate officer. Eventually, Bill left Xerox and in 2002 became the unlikely president of SAP’s flailing American business unit. There, he injected enthusiasm and accountability into the demoralized culture by scaling his deli, sales, and management strategies. In 2010, Bill was named co-CEO, and in May 2014 he will become SAP’s sole, and first non-European, CEO. Colorful and fast-paced, Bill’s anecdotes contain effective takeaways: gutsy career moves; empathetic sales strategies; incentives that yield exceptional team performance; and proof of the competitive advantages of optimism and hard work. At the heart of Bill’s story is a blueprint for success and the knowledge that the real dream is the journey, not a preconceived destination. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Bill McDermott.

    Captain's Desire: A Pilot's Sexual Rules , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 116min, (USK 18)
    He looked into the woman's blue eyes, her reflection visible in the Monduga's dark, catlike pupils, and said, "You have already made your choice." The woman screamed, struggling in vain to break free of the Monduga's inhuman grasp. She thrashed her head wildly, sending her red curls flailing between the two. She felt his wet tentacle run over her backside, teasing her asshole as it explored her body. She immediately stopped struggling, seizing up as she felt the large, fleshy appendage force its way slowly into her. "No, please!" Trish whimpered. She pleaded with her eyes but said nothing as the Monduga pushed his tentacle several inches further inside. The Monduga exhibited remarkable control over his appendages as he continued to explore the young captain's body. With the end of the tentacle he used to restrain his prisoner he was able to squeeze her breasts and playfully massage her vagina. The tentacle in her ass flexed, a wavelike motion that stretched her anus slightly, causing the woman to gasp. The other prisoners shouted, pleading for the alien to stop his torture and release their captain. "Torture?" Moore questioned. "Your captain desires this. See how she begins to writhe in pleasure?" Trish moaned reflexively as the tip of the alien's restraining tentacle darted into her vagina, a twirling motion sending her into an orgasmic fit. Moore looked at the helpless human, working his tentacles harder as her body rested its entire weight in his single coiled grasp. She was breathing heavily, her eyes rolled into the back of her head as her delicate chest heaved. "She would not want me to stop," Moore explained. He grinned at them in a way he hoped was frightening and added, "Nor will any of you." "Yes!" Trish moaned. She looked into the Monduga's eyes and repeated, "Yes! Don't stop!" ungekürzt.

    Grant, Hörbuch, Digital, 1434min
    The Number One New York Times Best SellerNew York Times Book Review 10 Best Books of 2017Pulitzer Prize winner Ron Chernow returns with a sweeping and dramatic portrait of one of our most compelling generals and presidents, Ulysses S. Grant. Ulysses S. Grant's life has typically been misunderstood. All too often he is caricatured as a chronic loser and an inept businessman or as the triumphant but brutal Union general of the Civil War. But these stereotypes don't come close to capturing him, as Chernow reveals in his masterful biography, the first to provide a complete understanding of the general and president whose fortunes rose and fell with dizzying speed and frequency. Before the Civil War, Grant was flailing. His business ventures had ended dismally, and, despite distinguished service in the Mexican War, he ended up resigning from the army in disgrace amid recurring accusations of drunkenness. But in war, Grant began to realize his remarkable potential, soaring through the ranks of the Union army, prevailing at the battle of Shiloh and in the Vicksburg campaign, and ultimately defeating the legendary Confederate general Robert E. Lee. Along the way, Grant endeared himself to President Lincoln and became his most trusted general and the strategic genius of the war effort. Grant's military fame translated into a two-term presidency, but one plagued by corruption scandals involving his closest staff members. More important, he sought freedom and justice for black Americans, working to crush the Ku Klux Klan and earning the admiration of Frederick Douglass, who called him "the vigilant, firm, impartial, and wise protector of my race". After his presidency, he was again brought low by a dashing young swindler on Wall Street, only to resuscitate his image by working with Mark Twain to publish his memoirs, which are recognized as a masterpiece of the genre. With lu Language: English.
