Introduction
The book “Who Is She” tells the stories of the lives of many young women who are the winners but still get lost or confused between the world around them and their own world. There are 4 parts which illustrate 40 lessons about 40 unique characters in this book.
Notably, you will read and learn about the problems and solutions
provided in each lesson. In addition to the third person pronoun “she” being
used in each lesson, you will get to meet another main character known as the
Machine who speaks to inspire you, encourages you to believe in yourself, and
gives you some suggestions to deal with your problems.
Part
1 will remind you more about the problems that happen to you personally. You
may be able to find some suggestions too.
Part
2 will review the problems that you consider relationship issues, including
friendship and family. You can find some motivating messages in that part
too.
Part
3 will show you how women handle everything, in good times and bad. Some
lessons are remarkably inspiring. You will learn something from that part.
Part
4 will give you some ideas about how to define your own life the ways you want.
There are ten different ways, to be exact. I hope you like each one of them.
Good luck, My Reader!

PERSONAL ISSUES
Motivation from Machine!
#1 Failure
She Failed the Exam
Who is she?
She
thinks she is a loser because she failed the exam. It came as a surprise, and
she was quite shocked to learn that she failed. Tears were rolling down her
cheeks. She ran to her mom and hugged her. She needed motivation as she also
felt ashamed of herself, not knowing what to say. She just kept crying and
crying.
It’s
unexpected to fail, but it’s obvious that she has to make a new plan for her
future. It’s the future that seems pretty lonely. Her friends will go on to
study at universities, but she will be stuck at the same high school. In other
words, she has to repeat the 12th grade again, unwillingly and
shamefully.
She hates being compared by others, but sometimes she compares herself with her friends and classmates. As a result, she gets mad at herself. When she looks in the mirror, she sees a loser, and she just wants to…
Motivation from Machine
Hello. My name is Dara
Ly the Machine, but you can call me Cool Mac. My Creator (Dara Ly
the Human) has invented me to speak on behalf of him, so my job is to talk
with you. You can talk back if you want.
You
feel ashamed because you think failing an exam is a bad thing. What do you want
me to say? Do you need an answer or an honest answer?
A
good answer would be: Don’t think too much.
An
honest answer would be: Think and ask!
You
heard me. Ask people. Think about what they have to say. By the way, make sure
you ask the right things to the right people. However, do not believe them 100%
because nobody can have all the answers you need. Failing an exam is only scary
before you fail. After failing it, you don’t feel scared anymore. Are you
willing to change the way you think about the exam?

Comparison
She Hates It
Who is she?
There are two forms of silence. The
first one is the silence with confidence. The second one is the silence with
pain. Her silence has sent a clear message about her pain. Sadly, nobody can
hear nor see it. Nobody sees her pain, and nobody cares about her feelings.
There are hundreds of stories that
she wants people to know, yet she can’t speak out. Why? Because she’s busy
crying. As a matter of fact, she’s crying right now.
(I hate it when I have to remind her
about those dramatic and sad things that she has to go through, again.)
Sometimes she becomes convinced that
she is just a loser, and some people just don’t stop comparing. They keep
comparing her with other kids. She is convinced that something is wrong with
her, and…
Motivation from Machine
You are upset because
people keep comparing you with others. What do you want me to say? What? Do you
need motivation? You want me to say something nice or something brutally
honest?
You
think that those kids are better than you, so you must be a loser. If I have to
be honest with you, I would say that it is the most laughable thing I’ve ever heard.
Well, let me try to be a little nicer. Okay? I would say that you are unique in
your own way.
I
know. I know. Some old farts think that you are just as dumb as they believe
you are. The saddest part is that you believe it too. You agree with them,
sometimes. And that, in my Machine opinion, is wrong. It is wrong because those
people don’t live your life. You do. They don’t know you like you know
yourself. They don’t even care about you, so you shouldn’t care about them.
My
suggestion: Walk away!
When
I sense that someone is talking nonsense in front of me, I walk away. Actually,
I walk as fast as I run away from fart. They might think that you are arrogant
when you walk away from them. If you stay and listen to them, they will
compare. Either way, you’re no good, in their eyes.
I
don’t mind when some people think that I’m an arrogant person. They can think
or say whatever they want because I don’t care what they think. In your heart,
you know if you are arrogant or not, right? Self-respect is important. Respect
yourself, and respect others, but do not let anyone disrespect you. Show them
that you mean business.
When
people are talking nonsense in front of you, you can make the decision. Ignore
their words, or let their words ruin your peace of mind!
You
choose because you’re the boss.
Be a smart boss!

The Story
Who is she?
She’s
a little girl who is beautiful and purely good. Sadly, that’s not the story she
was told when she was younger. Instead, people kept saying that she’s ugly and
unattractive. Even worse, some people said to her that she was not smart
enough. That’s a painful experience for a little girl.
As
painful as it might sound, it actually changed her life, the hard way. Because
of this pain, she decided to be better. Better looking and better mind! But
most importantly, she cared more about her study, and she told herself that she
wouldn’t let anybody else tell her that she’s dumb. She tried studying every
day. She spent more hours each day doing exercises and reviewing lessons. Her study
performance was improved. It sounds very simple, but it’s a true story, and
it’s been successfully tested. If anybody wants to improve study performance,
they just need to spend more hours learning. She’s proof of this method. She
became a better student, and nobody dared to bully her anymore.
Nevertheless,
her beauty is also a priority, and indeed, it’s an important part of her
happiness too. She believes that she can change her image and become more
beautiful. She started caring more about her body, her skin, and her healthy
diet. No fast food! Okay, sometimes still can’t say NO, but she avoids eating
too much of it.
But
who is she?
She
used to suffer, and she wants to tell other girls to be positive and stay
strong. Why? Because, as a kid, she used to be hurt by the words from people
around her. She doesn’t blame them now. She doesn’t blame anybody. She believes
that people have different views, and she can have a different idea of how to
be happy. This is why she doesn’t compare herself with anybody. There is one
exception, though. She can compare herself with her old self. She aims at being
better than her old version.
But
who is this girl?
She
has a few quotes for herself and other women:
•
Love yourself before you want others to accept you.
•
Believe in yourself and help yourself before expecting others to do so.
•
Do not compare yourself with others.
• Do not sleep with your eyes open. (Okay, she didn’t say that.)

Her
Experiences
She Also Cares about Her Friends
Who is she?
She's
a nice woman, but she doesn't like a guy who pretends to be nice only to flirt
with her. And her friends also! What she doesn't know is that a guy has a
different way of thinking.
Everybody
loves an outstanding student, and the outstanding student is good in so many
ways, except for one. He likes flirting with so many girls that everyone stops
trusting him. Like most girls, she starts to question his intention every time
he says something nice. That doesn't mean she dislikes the guy. It's just a
tendency to be cautious.
But
who is she?
She's
a good student, but she just doesn't feel that way. Sometimes she blames
herself for not trying hard enough. Often, she worries about the future ahead.
One year from now, she's going to take the exam that will define her future.
It's a pretty scary thing when she thinks about it because people around her
place high expectations on her. That's her life as a grade-12 student!
Expectation
motivates her to try hard, but too much of it can also give her a hard time. In
other words, she needs to try to be better than she could ever be.
Who
is she?
She
wants to improve her learning habits. She tries finding something to motivate
herself, but she never finds anything good enough to keep her going. As a
result, she just goes with the flow, hoping she could go as fast as other
students could. That's how she feels each day about studying.
Meanwhile,
she also cares about her friends. She wants them to study more, and pass the
exam. However, she believes that it's hard to convince them. They think they're
dumb, but she thinks they could improve themselves if they only hang out less
often and study a little bit more every day.

The
Impact
Getting Lost
Who is she?
Comparison
is what people like to do, and they do it all the time. One problem, though.
They do not know the negative impact it could have on the one being compared.
It's a sad thing, but it's hard to avoid. As easy as it might sound, people
compare others with many things and anything.
When
you are in the middle of this situation, it's kind of annoying. Especially,
when it is your family and loved ones who actually bring you to this unwanted
happenstance. It's unpleasant, but it’s unavoidable.
You
might regret the fact that you didn't spend enough time to listen to your heart
when you should have. You might feel that it's an unlucky part of your life
when other people compare you with someone else.
It's
even more upsetting when they keep asking you about the result. Often you get
lost, and become stressful with yourself and your life too. That's the sad part,
but that's not the whole picture. Believe me, that's only the beginning.
The
suggestion is: Appreciate what you can do now rather than trying to answer all
kinds of questions.
You’ve
been taught to believe in reason and reject something outside of your comfort
zone. That’s what limits your mind from greatness. Your creativeness can’t
function properly if you limit your imagination. I’m not saying that we should
block our reasoning.
We should balance between reason and faith. We should accept both logic and magic. People compare because they’re scared. Their logic makes them scared. You should be worried no more, for the magic is in your mind. Free your mind from the burden of having to please everybody. Believe me, not everyone wants to hurt you, but sometimes good intentions can hurt you, more than they could imagine.
