EVERYONE IS BEAUTIFUL: Respect Other & Be Yourself, written by Caroline Strong, is definitely the book I would love to read, Professor Strong has been doing her utmost to protect human rights as well as teaching the world how precious it is to be true to oneself. Since 1996, every book she published has inspired readers worldwide to cherish the uniqueness of every individual. As a huge fan of hers, I believe this book is not an exception. In fact, from the title “EVERYONE IS BEAUTIFUL” I know this very book not only discusses the differences between one another, but conveys the idea that beauty is actually defined by us instead of others. What’s more, she shows “how” to be beautiful, teaching us to respect others and be ourselves. Perhaps she can give me some tips so that I can cope with my problems in school, or maybe she can grant me her attitude towards life so that I can learn to define my beauty myself I firmly believe that professor Strong will again surprise me with her intelligence and creativity, and teach me even more about how to be myself in her new book.
This is the book I desire to read because for me, a senior in high school, it is rather difficult to find a balance between the world and my true self. There are nights when I wander aimlessly in town with the wind chilling me to the bone. I feel like a phantom without a soul. The world seems to have engulf my soul and thus I can no longer find myself, let alone define my own beauty. Therefore, I believe Professor Strong will once again lift me up from such mental turmoil, and lit up a candle in my heart. By reading this book, I am sure that I will no longer be lost in my longing to blend into the complicated world. As Professor Strong puts it, “Everyone is beautiful,” I know she will guide me through my high school life and eventually help me discover my real inner beauty.

My choice for summer reading would, without a doubt, be Austin Young’s Leadership is a Choice. As can be deducted from the title and the explanatory notes “conquer Your Fear and You Can Be a Leader Too,” this book is obviously about facing phobias and weaknesses to become a true leader. General McArthur wrote in his Prayer to His Son: “Build me a son, O lord, who will strong enough to know when he is weak, and brave enough to face himself when he is afraid.” “Young will offer tips and examples to achieve such a level of self recognition and clarity of mind, thus enabling the reader to brave his fears and weaknesses, and walk proudly forward on the path to leadership.
Never have I enjoyed the heavy responsibility that comes with leadership. Even less do I like the power of such as position. However, being a critical thinker and well organized, I am often propelled into becoming the leader of class events. To Me, leadership is far from a choice, it is a burden that I loathe. If I ever have the chance, I wriggle out of being a leader and am content to do just as I am told. Young puts leadership in a wholly different light. He believes that leadership is a choice; a path that starts from conquering fears. I have been an unwilling leader, but have I ever been a true one, one who faces his fears? Have I not merely made lousy decisions and ordered others to do things? If I read Young’s book, I may glean the truth of leadership. My fear of responsibility originates from an illogical aversion of making mistakes. I should face the fact that everyone blunders. In this global age, entrepreneurship is on the rise. Anyone can become a CEO one day. It is a choice that every person can make, even me, whose intense terror of leadership obliterates all else. Because leadership is a choice, it is the choice to climb a top a high mountain, to tread paths of fear yet still reach the summit. Everyone can complete this road, even I.
Thus spoke Albert Lippman of leadership: “The final test of a great leader is that he leaves behind him in other men the conviction to carry on.” Mayhap Young’s book is the first baby step towards such greatness: greatness that every person with true courage may achieve.
