Good reads


If you have not heard of the book The Promise of a Pencil then here is a chance for you to learn a little more about it. It is a really amazing and inspiring story of Adam Braun founder of Pencils of Promise. This For-purpose organization helps build schools in different countries around the world providing education to those who do not have the opportunity. Adam's story is so amazing and kept me from putting the book down. Adam knew his life had a greater purpose than the life he was living before and decided to take the first step and make his dreams become a reality.
 This book has inspired me in so many ways and it makes me want to go out write my own story,  and make an impact.  This book had me thinking that if Adam would have given up on his dream he wouldn't have made the impact he has. This book is full of amazing quotes and by the end of the book you will feel so inspired to do more in life, to walk with purpose. 
I loved this quote from Howard Thurman found in the first few pages in the book. 
Hope you all check out the book and I hope it inspires you also to write your own story.
