In her work in the publishing industry, Vera seeks out new authors who she considers promising. In the past two years she has found a number of new writers whose work she thought was exceptional, and immersed herself in the task of helping them shape their manuscripts for submission to her managers for publishing.

Reyna Grande is a successful and amicable novelist, How did she get this way? It is inspiring to see someone from such an unfortunate background and can achieve so much in her life. Outliers: A Story of success by Malcolm Gladwell speaks about how one can be fostered into success. Not only has she mastered the art of writing, she has also used her hardships in her life, to light a fire in her heart that has continued to help on her journey to success.

She is 53 and has never been married, but rather, she enjoys spending time furthering her relationship with her parents and God. She avoids doing interviews due to poor hearing and she says that she has “always believed marketing should be about the book, rather than the author” (Hilliard). She wants her books to be so good that people read her works and love them for what they are, not because of her marketing. In 2006, she had a severe neck injury which prevented her from writing much which was pure torture for her (Henderson, “Dee

She begins a rant and hopes for her people to finish it for her. This article was ineffective because she flew through so many topics without elaboration. All things considered in this article, influencing people was not the prime concern. The prime concern was Marianne getting recognition and revealing to the word she knows important people.
An attitude are the long lasting beliefs, feelings, and behavioral responses towards social objects such as other people or issues (Attitudes and Behavior, n.d.). Attitudes can either be positive or negative.
“Attitudes are positive or negative evaluations, feeling, and tendencies that individuals harbor toward objects or concepts” (Wild). As the book mentions, attitudes are similar to values, these are formed according to a culture background and varies from country to country.
Attitudea relatively constant feeling, predisposition, or a set of beliefs that is directed toward an object, a person, or a situation.
Attitudes are thoughts that you have accepted as true and that lead you to think, feel, or act positively or negatively toward a person, idea or event. They represent an emotional readiness to behave in a particular manner. (Reece) Positive and negative attitudes affect how you work and how you influence other people around you. These attitudes can absolutely be changed though because we are not born with those attitudes. We form them as time passes, depending on the situations that we have been through. For instance, if you had a job where your supervisor was racist toward you, you would begin to form a negative attitude about supervisors thinking that all of them are going to be racist. Instead, you can change your attitude by thinking that not everyone acts the same way. A positive attitude can make a difference between an amazing life and a nonsense one. Therefore, a lot of people should try to change their attitude to a positive one.
