The Prince (Niccolò Machiavelli)
The Prince is a political treatise written by Niccolò Machiavelli in 1513. It was one of the most famous works in political science and it has been translated into many languages, including English and Arabic. In The Prince, Machiavelli describes how leaders can achieve success through politeness and deceitfulness when necessary.
Quiet Leadership (John C Maxwell)
Listen to the other person.
Be open to new ideas and approaches.
Empathize with others, even if you disagree with them or don’t agree with their point of view at that moment in time.
Be a good listener and communicator; listen attentively to what your employees have to say, whether it’s about the weather or their personal lives—they are likely sharing something important! Make sure you take notes if possible, especially when people are speaking quickly because they may be nervous about sharing their thoughts on the topic being discussed (this can happen). Also, remember that everyone has different strengths so focus less on one person's weaknesses when trying out new things as a group!

Two Pink Lines
I had never really felt like a child. I'd always had to raise myself. My mother was just a teenager when she'd had me and consequently, we had spent my whole childhood arguing and fighting like a couple of sisters as opposed to mother and daughter. My father was older than my mother but still had some maturing to do himself. He focused his entire life on me, his little girl but never realized the pressure that put on me. I always felt I had to raise him even as he was trying to raise me. We raised each other. Then, I met him. He cares, he shows me a love like I've never known. For once, it's about me and I don't have to focus on other people's needs and what someone needs from me. Someone always wants something from you. That is what my parents have taught me. Love is selfish but it isn't with him. He is perfect, beautiful, funny, and can take me to places I've only dreamed about. Places outside my mind and my own pathetic life and I know that I will always love him. When we first met, I wanted him to have my children, but now? Right now, with us both still in high school? This is all happening so soon. I slipped into the restroom at work. It had been 6 weeks since my last menstrual and this was not normal. I couldn't wait any longer. I put the top on the test and waited. These 60 seconds felt like forever. What would we do? We were both seniors so we didn't have long to go before school was over but this was not the plan. The plan was for him to join the Army and me the National Guard and for me to get my associate's degree and then we marry, then have kids.
