Since the time I can read and write, there are three books that deep into my mind and have great impact on my life and solid my value towards life as follows :
1) How to win friends and influence people by Dale Carnegie :
I think most of us would like to have a good social networking and friends around us . Yet, this book have strong impact on me maybe I come form a single family and an only child, I have less chance to communicate with people and in a certain sense I don’t know how to get along with people and sometimes hurt them with no intention.
I admitted that I am a quite pessimistic person and always strive for perfect like hoping to win all the friends around me which is impossible. Therefore, by reading this book, it made me realize that in life we are not necessary to win all the friends because we all not the same, just do our best to everyone, if people aint like us, it fine only if we can find the group which belong to your world.
All in all, this book somehow teaching you the knowledge of being a human , an attitude communicate to people which is useful for the rest of our life, especially when we come out and work in society.

2) It’s not the end of the world by Judy Blume :
I immediately bought this book when I glanced the world ‘’divorce’’at the back of the book in my high school’s book fair. As I mention above, I come from a single family and really got a great impact from my parents , of course there are pros and cons. I come to realize and when time flies together with reading this book, my hatred towards my father and the attitude towards the step father is no longer existed now. This book inspired me that children coming from single family is inevitable going through this inner mind and emotion and the words from this author is exactly read my mind.
It inspires me that life not always going to the path you wanted and expected. If the environment you cant change, the thing you can only change is your attitude and adapt the environment. I come to be more open minded and enjoy the moment I have in this step father relationship and the relationship between my father and I. Once they got old and leave me, there no more chance for you to treat them good . Therefore, it inspire me treasure the moment I have now, especially for my father. I am happy I am more lucky to have the chance to see my father thought the relationship is just like normal friend but it ‘s ok for me. Everyone ‘s life is different so don’t compare others and treasure the moment you have!

3) Seabiscuit : Am American Legend by Laura Hillenbrand
I like reading inspiration true story and this is a story that made me cried at the end. This is a book about the racehorse Seabiscuit in a riveting tale of grit, grace ,luck and an underdog’s stubborn determination. Sometimes we will lose the sense of determination towards success in the process, but this story always remind us that determination is always the key to success even though there are a lot of unfavorable factors around us.
Legend is always possible if you got this sense.
