Okay, when it comes to the book that had a big influence on me, it’s called The Mountain is You. This book is about how to gain more self-confidence, how to become more confident, and to get rid of hesitations about yourself. And I read this book for two months ago, and while I was reading this book, I faced the quote where they said that while others are telling negative things about others, while somebody tells negative things about others, they are not telling others, they are showing their truth themselves. And after that quote, I realized that if people don’t have self-confidence, then they will not be successful. And also, this book really helped me to get rid of my hesitation and really helped me to understand that everybody has its own way to achieve success and how to stop comparing myself with others, because everybody has its own way to achieve something, and also exactly time and place where they should get it. And after reading this book, I stopped this comparing myself and also become more self-assured. And while I was reading this, I felt that I am being empowered with this book, because power seemed like power was covering my body from my head to my toe. And after that, I changed my viewpoint and I’ve changed my way of thinking and way of seeing others.

Okay, when it comes to the book that had a big influence on me, it's called The Mountain is You. This book is about how to gain more self-confidence, how to become more confident, and to get rid of hesitations about yourself. I read this book two months ago, and while I was reading it, I came across a quote that said that when someone speaks negatively about others, they are not just criticizing others; they are revealing their own truth. After reading that quote, I realized that if people lack self-confidence, they will not be successful. This book really helped me to overcome my hesitation and understand that everyone has their own path to success and how to stop comparing myself to others, because everyone has their own way to achieve something, and also their own time and place to do it. After reading this book, I stopped comparing myself and became more self-assured. While I was reading, I felt empowered by this book, as if power was enveloping my body from head to toe. After that, I changed my viewpoint, my way of thinking, and my perspective on others.
