    First impression when I saw this book, I think this book made for me :D

    Because I think [and my friends said] that I'am a little ODD :)

    "In a world of evens, you have to be ODD"

    So, reading this book make me feel confident being ODD ^_^ because everyone is ODD in their own way.

    With my ODD thing, I am Special.


    "ODD is when you are true to yourself"

    "EVEN is when you are 'true' to the wishes of others at the expense of yourself."




    Recently, I decide to be even. Because I fell like traveler in the ocean of nothingness. But after I read this book, I know there is something wrong with me..I must know my self better so I will do what I love or learn to love what I do, and be brave to do something else if I can do neithet-if I can't do what I love or learn to love what I do- Maybe I known my self before, but I forget a true of my self a little while.

    So I must back to my ODD way, my ODD things..

    I don't want in the middle of nowhere longer.



    In this book the John R. Power writes his experiences for example of cases, in the end of every chapter there is some notes about "an odd view: becoming your wizard of odd and being a wizard of odd to others"

    I like the idea, the ODD things not just for me but also spread it to others :)

    I have read the book. I was not impressed. A collection of short anicdotes designed to inspire the reader. (Yawn) I was not. He seemed to have some objection to having children learning to share. If you are looking for a good motivational book this is not it.
