SUCCESS

HERE ARE THREE THINGS WE CAN LEARN FROM HER STORY.

[1] Be courageous.

Every person has a fear: lack of support, lack of money,
or even the fear of failing. But Malala shows us that fear
can be overcome when passion drives your goals.

[2] Don't doubt yourself.

Where you come from doesn’t define how far you can
go. Malala was born in rural Pakistan, far from a life of
wealth or fame, but she is now recognized across the
globe.

[3] You can change the world.

If Malala can succeed in a world of hate and oppression,
you can also make a difference regardless of age, race,
gender, religion, or sexual orientation.

Challenge. Post a photo holding your favorite book, and
