Here is chapter 14:

Duration 19:50

Well that chapter certainly defined the holistic view of courage; it should certainly allay the fears of any self doubter. :mrgreen:
Great stuff!! :

Here is chapter 9:

http://upload.librivox.org/share/uploads/ck/howtosucceed_09_marden.mp3

Duration: 18:09.

I really enjoyed reading this, but I had to go back and read some sections again because my recording seemed to have become corrupted. I don't know if this is a common problem, but a huge spike appeared on the recording, and it rammed into miliseconds whole minutes of recording. So listening to it, there would suddenly be a burst of loud noise, and the recording would continue several paragraphs further on. Anyone have any idea what might have caused that?

I haven't encountered this problem with huge spikes and missing recordings; I don't know what that might be :hmm:
I hope it does not happen again. You could ask about it in the Need Help? Got Advice? forum.

In this recording, there are a few gaps with silences. Maybe there was an error during saving/exporting, that can be fixed by re-exporting?
The gaps occur at:
04:34 - 04:45 stops at "to new Americas,", restarts at "singleness of aim did Lincoln in the cabinet,"
07:32 - 07:44 stops at "suspected of being fraudulently", restarts at " he discovered the method of"
08:31 - 08:43 stops at "Mahomet, who, in a few years", restarts at "was found an overmatch for a"
08:55 - 09:07 stops at "They were temperance troops.", restarts at "sword. Horace Vernet's enthusiasm"
09:55 - 10:07 stops at "Beecher was a very dull boy and was the last member of", restarts at "who have fallen into oblivion."
13:29 - 13:40 stops at "and heard a faint", restarts at "That's the whole story."
14:16 - 14:28 stops at "surface of the wax. 'Spezia,'", restarts at "was comical in the extreme."
17:14 - 17:26 stops at "their own lives in their manuscripts,", restarts at "into the blood. The real heaven"

Rapunzelina,

I'm sorry about that. These errors look like they might be linked to the spikes I experienced in actually recording. I'll look into it, and see if I can get some answers on the right forum.

However, I've managed, I think, to patch up the holes with a new export. Should I re-upload using the same file name?

OK. Here's the newly uploaded link:

http://upload.librivox.org/share/uploads/ck/howtosucceed_09_marden.mp3

Still the same duration, and I've eliminated the gaps. Hopefully that's a vast improvement.
