Book Review: Its not How good you are, its how good you want to be


Hello again, faithful minions, creators of all that is good,dark and questionable...Okay sorry, I forgot to take my pills....lets start over...
Hello again, how are you all???
Today I would like to do a book review, because, I read the book; "It's not how good you are, It's how good you want to be," by Paul Arden and it really catches you. I know the name is a lot to say but trust me, this book has you thinking. I must admit I don't usually pick up books like Paul Arden's much, but this was great.
Basically, its a guide to help you be a better thinker and person, job wise. But not only in that way, because it shows you ways to think outside of the box.
For example, one of the chapter beginnings, ask, "What is mean't by the word 'creative'?" and honestly most people don't realise that that word means something different to different people. This can be a big problem if you are trying to sell an idea to someone. So he says that one of the first things you should know before trying to sell a product to a client is finding out what he/she deems as creative...Do you even realise how much time and effort this will save you if you know what they look for before hand?!
I could go on and on about this book, but lets face it, I wont be doing the book or the author any justice. It's is one of those that you have to read for yourself to see just how great it is.
I must say though, that the thing I love most about the book is the format of it. Each heading draws you to it. Each paragraph, each picture imprints on you so that you remember. As he himself says and proves; what you say is one thing, but how you present what you say my make your point more memorable...Plus, I absolutely love how he gives it to you straight, he doesn't try to butter you up, he tells it like it is, the good and the bad. How many books go out of their way to do that, even when they claim to be helping out out? This is truely a book that is for anyone who wants to succeed, in whatever they are doing, even if its just studying
So in ending, I would like to give this book a 4 1/2 out of 5...only because I dont believe in giving totals...So go out and read Paul Arden's book. Trust me, its worth it.
So go out read on and remember, it's not how Good you are, Its how Good you want to be.

BTS SEX SCANDAL???

So I may be late to this because this happened last year but I just discovered this picture. So Apparently Jin from BTS was showing a tutorial or something like that and fans saw in the background a condom and freaked.....OMG I don't know where to start with this but its so ridiculous that I had to say something about it. As a result of fans(??) freaking out that their idols possibly having sex Big Hit Entertainment-the company behind the band- released a statement saying that it was given to them in a fan gift. FIRSTLY who cares if they are having sex or not. These people deserve to have a private life too!! Hey if anything at least it looks like they are being safe about it. Secondly you guys know how crazy fans can get especially KPOP fans so I wouldn't be surprised if a fan did send it. Plus fans probably have sent much worse things. That fan probably sent it and said something like, "Wear this when we meet." Or some other weird creepy thing like that. People i...

Love Sick (the Series and Novel)

Noh needs to somehow come up with the money for the drums for his school club. Phun (who already has a girlfriend) needs someone to pretend to be his boyfriend so his sister (who is really into boy love) will convince his father not to make him go out with his friend’s daughter. Realizing that they could help each other, Noh and Phun make a deal that spiral into a series of events that bring the two boys closer together. The plot goes much deeper than that though and lots of time is spent in the novel developing the characters. We also learn more about the people who the main characters interact with on a daily basis. Love Sick the Series is a 2014 Thai series that is based on the quite popular online Thai novel written by INDRYTIMES . The novel appropriately named; ‘Love Sick: The Chaotic Lives of Blue Shorts Guys’, follows the story of two high school boys who eventually fall in love. The series takes a step away from the novel adding additional characters and plotlines to the sto...

Kpop Meets Black Women (tumblr) Review

It’s not very easy being an international Kpop fan - especially if you are a person of colour. The reason for this, I am honestly not sure. I wonder if it is because Kpop exists outside of the stereotyped idea of what persons of colour are supposed to like. For some time now I’ve noticed that it’s especially worse when you're black. One such site that explores the intersection between Kpop fans and black people - specifically black women - is Kpop Meets Black Women . Now I’ve checked out this site a few times and there are lots of things here that you find on a typical fan website, regardless of what or who said website is dedicated too. With that said I have noticed that this site gets loads of negative attention for being what it is. That is why I have decided to review it, like I would anything else. It took me a while to put together because I have some strong opinions on this particular website and the amount of hate it receives on a regular basis. With that being said, I ho...
