A secret message


When our MD left a month ago, he presented us each with a book that he had thought about and matched to the different personality types of the team. I received a copy of “I am Malala”, the autobiography of the girl who was shot in the head by the Taliban, who was then transported to the UK for treatment, and survived!
            It was one of those books that had never really stood out for me, but a gift is a gift, so I accepted it graciously and added it to the pile of books to read once I was finally clear of my Kindle list and could read whatever tickled my fancy.
            Over the past week I have had ample spare time before sleeping, and I have used this to try and really plough through my reading list.  After working my way through four really quite great books, Malala was next on my list.


I have to be honest, I wasn’t very excited about reading it, and I didn’t really love it while I was on my way through, but I did find a sweet little message in the front of the book that powered me on through and made me feel obliged to make it to the end. Left there by the MD before he went on to bigger and better things, I thought this was a very sweet way of saying goodbye.
            Thankfully, the book is now finished and I am onto the next one. I wonder how many I will get through before Nick gets back!
