World Talk Radio Host, Cynthia Brian, Garners Rave Reviews for New Teen Survival Guide

World Talk Radio Host Garners Rave Reviews for New Teen Survival Guide

“We are not created equal. We are something far better. We are unique,” writes New York Times best-selling author, personal growth consultant, and World Talk Radio host, Cynthia Brian in her inspirational new guidebook for teens, Be the Star You Are! For TEENS-Simple Gifts for Living, Loving, Laughing, Learning, and Leading.

Phoenix, AZ (PRWEB) August 27, 2009 — It’s not easy being a teenager in the 21st century. Kids communicate more through text and instant messaging than through personal interactions. Teens are plagued by depression, eating disorders, drugs and alcohol, as well as a media that glorifies fame, money, beauty and sex without providing any role models for becoming self-reliant individuals. Reviewer Starla Allen wrote about Brian’s book, “Cynthia is someone who really does care about teens no matter what. She would pick them up, dust them off, give them a kiss and say don’t worry about it you can do this. This book is going to be hidden inside a history book in classrooms! That’s ok, kids need to learn more about themselves before they can even tackle history. ” As Brian puts it, “America is witnessing a growing epidemic of youth helplessness. Be the Star You Are! For TEENS is a refreshing escape from sermons and rules. Instead the book offers straightforward stories and tools in easy-to-read, short chapters guaranteed to help adolescents survive in a rapidly changing, fast-paced world.”

Written by teens, for teens, about the multitude of challenges faced throughout adolescence, Be the Star You Are! For TEENS invites readers to embrace their individuality. Simple, direct and powerful, each chapter of Be the Star You Are! For TEENS focuses on an aspect leading an abundant life, instructing readers with a true story, a life lesson, an electrifying exercise of implementations, and a quote for reflection.

Since 1998, Cynthia Brian has been broadcasting her empowerment radio show, Starstyle-Be the Star You Are! where she interviews authors and experts that help listeners enhance their lives. As a producer and host on World Talk Radio, her show is broadcast live every Thursday from 3-4pm PT/6-7 pm ET on Modavox, the worlds largest radio network.(http://www.modavox.com/worldtalkradio/vshow.aspx?sid=764) Cynthia has interviewed over 1500 premier thinkers, celebrities, and authors including Deepak Chopra, Dr. Phil, Jack Canfield, Neale Donald Walsch, and Wayne Dyer. A popular segment is T42-A Mother/Daughter Brew is co-hosted with her young daughter, Heather Brittany, bringing hot tips of the day to bridge the generation gap. Many of the contributors to Be the Star You Are! For TEENS have been showcased on Starstyle-Be the Star You Are! to share their chapters of Gifts on the program.

Actress Olesya Rulin, star of High School Musical, 1,2, 3 endorsed the book with these words, “” I wish I would have read this when I was a teen. It would have encouraged me to let go and be me. Individuality is crucial in life. This book helps explain why it is so important to stay true to yourself.” ¬Pro surfer and teen inspiration, Bethany Hamilton says that this book makes her “want to surf a bigger wave!” Be the Star You Are! For TEENS, is ideal for teens looking for answers and parents, teachers, grandparents, coaches, or advisors searching for communication guidance. The book is guaranteed to awaken passion, potential and infinite possibilities to help tweens, teens, and young adults major in success.

Making a List and Checking it Twice

By Cynthia Brian

September 13, 2009 marks the 10th anniversary of the literacy charity, Be the Star You Are! This is a huge milestone in the history of an all-volunteer organization that has logged in more than 219,880 volunteer hours, donated more than $1.6 million in resources, and served more than 199,800 Individuals within 60 organizations. For ten years, Be the Star You Are!® has been quietly operating in the background, helping other organizations shine. Most of our volunteers are young people ages 10-24 and it is they who have spent months organizing and planning the event to honor our milesone, The Books and Bands Bash Benefit.

We are all inviting our friends, families, fans, and foes for a day of celebration, dancing, book signings, hula hoop contests, martial arts demonstrations, shopping, eating, and mingling. As we’ve posted announcements on facebook, twitter, myspace, and other sites over the past few months, we’ve been rewarded with a plethora of congratulations notices, yet few donations. Although we appreciate the words “bravo, way to go, congrats, you made it!” what we’d really appreciate is rewarding our hard work with dollars. The legendary and loved former Dean of the University of Pacific School of Dentistry, Dr. Arthur Dugoni, became famous for asking his students, alumni, and anyone he met to open their wallets and give generously to the school. Under his tutelage the university became one of the greatest schools in the world to become a doctor of dental surgery because of the donations he requested, required, and received.

Taking my cue from Dr. Dugoni, I, too, am asking you to open your wallets and give generously to Be the Star You Are!® If you are reading this newsletter you can afford to send $10 for 10 years! Or be more giving and donate $100 for 10, or $1000. Do what makes you feel good. We make it easy for you. Just go to www.bethestaryouare.org and click on the DONATE button. You’ll be taken to PAYPAL where you can make an instant donation and send us a congratulatory note. You get a tax deduction and will be listed in our Galaxy of Stars.

Whether you are coming to the party or not, we need your support to fund the many literacy programs that we provide to our community and our country throughout the year. Like Santa Claus, we are making a list and checking it twice. We know who has been naughty or nice. Open your wallet and get on our friend list. As it has often been said “put your money where your mouth is.” Margaret Mead had it right with these words “A small group of thoughtful people can change the world. It’s the only thing that ever has!”

Help us change the world and make a difference. Say congratulations with a donation. Looking forward to seeing all your names on our 10th anniversary list. Thanks for your contributions. Be the Star You Are!

Cynthia Brian

Founder/Executive Director

More than fifty percent of seventh through tenth graders indicate they use drugs and alcohol and inhalant use among eighth graders increased by 14% in 2007.  Reality television glorifies the wild debauched side of young people.  America is witnessing a growing epidemic of youth helplessness.

Bud Bilanich features Cynthia Brian and Heather Brittany in www.SuccessCommonSense.com

The Optimist Creed A few weeks ago, I featured Cynthia Brian’s book Be The Star You Are! In the “Bud’s Books” section of me free ezine. If you’re not a subscriber and would like to be, you can do so by going to my website, www.BudBilanich.com.

Cynthia tells a great story about optimism in Be The Star You Are! She was in San Francisco on October 17, 1989, the day of the Loma Pietra earthquake which registered 7/1 on the Richter scale and did significant damage to the city.

She made it home to her children 12 hours later. She couldn’t cross the Bay Bridge, her normal route home, because a portion of it had collapsed. Her daughter, Heather was five at the time. A local reporter interviewed her and asked if she were worried about Cynthia when she heard the bridge had collapsed.

Heather’s answer was that of a true optimist…

“No. I wasn’t scared for Mommy. I knew that if the bridge fell down and her car fell into the water, she would just swim home.”

If life were only that simple…

Cynthia goes on to say, “Optimism doesn’t mean life will be perfect, just that we can imagine positive outcomes.” I am an optimist. I truly believe tomorrow will be better than today. My optimism gives me the strength and confidence to tackle each day with a sense of energy.

Optimism is fundamental to self confidence, one of the five keys to success that I discuss in Straight Talk for Success. If you want to become self confident, you need to do three things: 1) be optimistic; 2) face your fears and act; and 3) surround yourself with positive people.

I often write about The Optimist Creed. I have created a .pdf of it that is suitable for framing and hanging in your workspace. I have given away hundreds of copies. If you want a copy to hang in your office, go to http://budbilanich.com/optimist/.

Even though I give away copies to frame, several people have asked if I would post The Optimist Creed in its entirety on this blog. The Thanksgiving weekend here in the USA has left me in an optimistic mood, so here goes…

The Optimist Creed

Promise yourself: • To be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind. • To talk health, happiness and prosperity to every person you meet. • To make all your friends feel that there is something in them. • To look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true. • To think only of the best, to work only for the best, and to expect only the best. • To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own. • To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future. • To wear a cheerful countenance at all times and give every living creature you meet a smile. • To give so much time to the improvement of yourself that you have no time to criticize others. • To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear and too happy to permit the presence of trouble.

In other words believe, as little Heather did, that if your Mommy’s car falls off the bridge and into the water that your Mommy will swim home to you.

The common sense point here is simple. Self confidence is a key building block of personal and professional success. Optimism is at the core of self confidence. The Optimist Creed presents terrific guidance on how to become and remain optimistic. I begin every day by reading it and committing to its tenets. I turn to it when things get rough, tough or shaky. It helps my self confidence and it has played a fundamental role in my success. It can do the same for you.

That’s my take on optimism, The Optimist Creed and self confidence. What’s yours? Please take a minute to comment and share your thoughts with us. You can get a copy of The Optimist Creed that you can frame and hang in your office, just as I’ve done, at http://budbilanich.com/optimist/. As always, thanks for reading.
