Blue - Miranda Kerr
Black - Helen Keller
Red - Angela Markel
Psychology professors and new-age quacks are the usual authors of self-help books. This tradition was recently broken by Australia's clotheshorse and national productivity killer Miranda Kerr
Kerr explains her book to Elle Magazine, saying, "It's about encouraging young women to embrace their individuality. You may think it's easy for me to say, but we all have insecurities. It's important, as women, to get past all of that and let our talents shine."

Her story never left me because it is not just an account of how to cope with whatever challenges life gives someone, but the quintessential example of how to succeed in life despite them. It is an excellent testimony of the heights a good dedicated teacher can help and guide a student to achieve.
Merkel stressed that aid decisions will need unanimous approval from all involved and that, where credit is from other governments instead of a common European pot of money, "we decide ourselves on every use of the funds."
"It is the task of politicians, parliaments and governments to intervene, to regulate, in case of doubt to ban in order to keep the risks controllable."
Merkel renewed a pledge to push for taxation of financial markets — either a financial transaction tax or another form of levy — in Europe and beyond. She also pushed for quick action to put ratings agencies under European supervision and increase transparency on derivatives markets.
