Someone once scoffed at my idea of changing the world, and at that time I still had doubts about whether I could change the world.But I know that each of us is changing the world, or making the world better or making the world worse.
Today I recommend the book recommended by Malala Yousofzai, a 2014 Nobel Peace Prize winner and a 2014 Nobel Peace Prize winner who fights for the right to education without fear of terror and violence.
Some of the words Malala said remind me that when we choose vegetarian food, we are changing the world, and speaking for those animals who cannot speak out.Therefore, every meal is an opportunity to change the world.
Now, I clearly know that everyone has the ability to change the world, please don’t forget your ability!
Nobel Peace Prize winner Malala is only 17 years old. She has been blogging on the Internet since she was 12 years old and strives to win ***The equal rights of girls under rule.Behind her is her father Ziawu Yousuff, who insists on the educational philosophy of "one book can change a world", as he said: "Why is my daughter so brave?Because I didn't break her wings."The New York Times' interview with Malala lets us enter Malala's reading journey.
1、What book are you reading now?
I've been reading John Stanbeck (JohnSteinbeck)"Between the Rat" ( OfMiceandMen）， This is the school’s curriculum.This book is thin, but the content is fulfilling.It reflects the situation in the United States in the 1930s.I read excitedly about the treatment of women at that time and the poverty of workers.Books can capture evil, make you unforgettable for a long time, and make you want to do something about it.That's why they are so powerful.
The book covers not many characters, the time is short, only three days, and the plot is very simple. Unlike the American drama 24 hours, each hour is as ups and downs and exciting as it is.But when I put down the book, my heart was heavy, dark and sad, and I couldn't get rid of it for a long time.
2、What is a good book you have read recently?
Paul Coelho (PauloCoelho)"Alchemist" (TheAlchemist)。I like it because it is full of hope and inspiration.It tells the story of a boy on a treasure hunt, and he learns from every journey he travels, and from everyone he meets.Finally, he discovered treasure in a very interesting place.His story tells you: You should believe in yourself and continue your journey.
It is also translated as "The Fantasy Journey of the Shepherd's Boy".This is a fairy tale for adults.As stated in the book, “Everyone in the world always plays a major role in world history,” he says, “and people usually don’t know this."I think this is the only thing that touched Malala Yousuf Zai.
