Dreams form My Father -Barack Obama

This is a good book to read if you like to read about the philosophy of life and people's biography.

The book is about how Barack grew up as a boy in Indonesia, worked in Chicago and went to Kenya to finally meet the other part of his family that he didn't really knew. In this book, he mentioned about how he encountered racism, politics and most of all, about himself (being of mix race) and his family. He never mentioned about how he manage to overcome/deal with racism and politics though. He sort of mentioned how he manage to finally accept and understand himself by learning about his family and most importantly, his father that he had only met once in his life but has a huge impact on him.
Funny enough, I find that I can relate to him somehow on quite a number of his life experiences.

Not bad for a future USA president. Whatever it is, be it Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama, the US presidential race of 2008 will definitely be interesting. :)
here's some excerpts his book.

"Of course it hurts. Sometimes you can't worry about hurt. Sometimes you worry only about getting where you have to go"

"Our women have carried a heavy load. If one is a fish, one does not try to fly - one swims with other fish. One only knows what one knows. Perhaps if I were young today, I would only care about my feelings, and falling in love. But that's not the world I was raised in. I only know what I have seen. What I have not seen doesn't make my heart heavy"
