#31 Victor Frankl's Words of wisdom
I believe that Frankl's words are about reacting and responding to the pain, injustice and need as a human being. Being able to over come an obstacle in life by being more positive is going to make you be more successful. A statement in the book that i thought was true was that the word love is overused but the action of it is underused. This statement is very powerfull because it shows that you may say you love someone but if you don't show it then it means nothing. A factor to living a healthy life is to don't let the little things get you down always try to find a positive in everything.
#30 Coach Carroll
Coach Carroll, he is a very tough coach and demands alot from his players. if his players do not meet his demands they will have to run or suffer the consequences. this coaching style makes his players give him alot of respect. They also do not act up and are better in acedemics since he has been coaching. I think coach Carroll is a good role model for all coaches to base themselves after because it shows that he cares about each and everyone of his athletes. And not only in the sports he coaches but how his athletes succeed in life.
#29 Last Lecture
Throughout the Lecture he does not dwell on the sad ending but he talks about how he lived life to the fulliest even knowing that he was termanially ill from cancer. Sharing with others that its better to always think positive and have fun in life. His lecture was very inspiring by the courage he had and the love he shared with others. I am going to take what he told in his lecture with me in the future.

#36 Nelson Mandela
Nelson Mandela is a man that went through alot of brutal beating inorder to stick up for his people( the blacks). Nelson Mandela was the leader for the Black community in South Africa. He stood up for what he believed in and fought to try and have the Black and White of South Africa who he was later put into jail and nearly beaten to death. When he was released from prison after a 27 years sentence. He came out of jail and for gave the government for putting him in jail and was later a very powerful black leader. He help to break apart the apartheid in South Afrcia. He went to every South Afrcian and the Blacks and supported both teams and treated both races with equivalincy. He was a very good and strong an for sticking up for what he believed in and treating all people as an equal. If people now a days were not power hunger and look down to other cultures. If we dd this thier would not be fighting overseas in Iraq, Iran, and Afghanistan.
#34 End of Me to We
I think that the annomous ending is a great way to finish this book just because these people in Africa who we are trying to help live there life in total annoymously. No one knows what is happening to them until one brave man or women come forward and tell people how they were or are being treated still. I think what Craig Kilburger is an amazing man what he has done to help the world. From when he was 12 years old he was helping people what can you do to help the world?
#34 Mr Williams
