PREFACE

The idea to create this book came to me while writing my first personality development book, Breaking Your Own Boundaries. 

Growing up, I learnt many new things by reading, and my curiosity has given me opportunities throughout the years to test and observe whether what I have read can be practically applied to my life.  

I find myself energized by the things I look forward to every day — even as simple as waking up and having breakfast. Every time I feel like giving up on my goals, quotes and advice from motivational speakers and people who have already reached such stages in their lives encourage me to continue striving.  

I have always appreciated writers’ experiences and their commitment to sharing them in writing. Therefore, I decided to write these quotes based on my personal ​experiences, without censoring any words, to motivate you in some way. 

Most of the time, I make sure that anything I say does not hurt the feelings of others. I am also known as someone who is careful and selective in what I share with others, including my opinions. 

My friends often ask me, ‘How can you be so calm and patient in stressful situations?’ This usually happens while giving presentations, during exams or when dealing with difficult people. When I am nervous, I think about what I plan to do after the event, like going to a cafe or watching a movie, so I can focus on something other than what makes me anxious. Thinking about how this book can motivate readers, I am able to break through my wall of nervousness and hesitation and gather the courage to express my uncensored thoughts. 

When you read Be Brave: Uncensored Motivational Quotes, I hope you find the assurance to be self-aware of your strengths and holistic disposition, to be brave in your decision-making and to accept and appreciate yourself. I hope you will be brave when defending your rights and yourself, and I hope these words will somehow motivate you when you feel down in the same way they helped me.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS FOR BE BRAVE:UNCENSORED MOTIVATIONAL QUOTES | Book Signing | Author | S.Sulianah | Winter Scribbler Publishing

11/25/2021

Q1. How do you get the idea to write this book?

​​The plan to write a book on ‘motivational quotes’ has been at the back of my mind. It was one of the books I wanted to write this year. At that time, I was in the midst of writing my first motivational/self-help book on self-esteem but then out of nowhere, I started to write this first instead.


Q2. What was your inspiration to write this book?

The ideas were from my experiences meeting with people over the years. With those I worked with, acquaintances, and friends. Both good and unpleasant one were triggers for me to share every layers from my perspectives. ​Most importantly, how I managed to handle every bits and pieces of it and then move on and forward to the next chapters.


Q3. ​How long does it take for you to write this book?

​Ah... the first write-up, which is the first draft, it took me only about 7 hours. It was initially only 89 pages. Simple and straightforward kind of quotes which I had stored in my brain for years. The process that took so long were the second draft, third drafts and so on. After I sent my first draft for professional book critique and then editing plus proofreading, it took me additional weeks. So, from 3 August to end of Oct 2021, it took about 3 months.

​Q4. ​How did you come out with the design idea for the book cover?

Usually, I will run contests for my book covers and is open to designers worldwide. I will highlight the book designs’ requirements and as for this, specifically I would like these colours. How the designers want to play around with the design, it is up to them. ​I chose to award the winner, Ralph Cavero, because his design is different compared to the others’. See that cancelled line on the word DON’T, this made it different. Also, a metaphor for the contents of the book. Something like, when people say ‘No, you cannot do it’, you have to tell yourself ‘Yes, I Can!’

Q5. ​Were there any challenges while producing this book?

This book for me is different from the poetry books I had written. The poems I wrote were more of my experiences that are more personal, and usually love stories. Readers need not need to evaluate and apply to their own life. As for these motivational quotes, they are more like a handbook if readers need to use for self-encouragement. At first I was worried if the quotes will be too harsh since all of it are uncensored. And also quite concerned people will misinterpreted and misused the expressions in a negative way. ​However, my concerns were eventually resolved. Before the final book edit, I managed to analysed related videos and research articles by other motivational speakers and individuals just to make sure everything I had written are in the positive alignment.

Decided to gift my 2 favorite teachers from my secondary school. ​Ms Ow Yong, my Mathematics teacher from Sec 1 to 2. ​I talked about her before in my podcast. Because of her style and techniques she shared, I fall in love with the subject. Since then, even when I was in Uni, for any subjects related to Mathematics, my grades will always be above 80%. Another one is for Mdm Ida Lim, my Geography teacher from Sec 3 to 5. I also talked about her in my podcast. Always looked forward to her classes, and that contributes positively to my interests in Geography. ​


Q6. ​Why did you choose this book title?

[Laugh] Initially, the book title I had for my first few drafts was ‘Uncensored Motivational Quotes with Tips to Respond to Idiots Confidently’. I was not comfortable with it and such a coincidence when I sent my draft for the pro book critique’s comments. I was suggested to look into the title again. Since the theme of this book is to Be Brave in making decisions, acknowledging yourself, and on the other hand, I don’t want to remove the word uncensored, finally I decided to titled it as what we have now for the final product. ​Also, before finalizing, I had to do more market research on the books in the market which is part of the process.


Q7. ​Which is your favourite quote(s) in this book?

I cannot choose one. ​ But but but...the specific one that will make me laugh everytime I re-read it especially during editing were the quotes under the chapter, ‘When You Need to Be Brave to Move on from Someone You Love’. The quotes that made me do not want to repeat the same experiences and meet with those type of people again in any phase of my life were the ones under the chapter, ‘When You Need to Be Brave to Confidently Respond to Certified Idiots’. And as for the quotes that I feel like I have to still keep reminding myself to remember and not slipped out of my mind are the ones under the chapter, ‘When You Need to be Brave to Acknowledge Your Instincts’. Cos justifying can have a strong hold that could last as long as a decade which I don’t want it to happen again.

A Quote from Be Brave: Uncensored Motivational Quotes by S.Sulianah

​In any type of relationship, there is no substitute for respect. It doesn’t matter how in love you are, how deep your romance is or how wonderful your intimate moments are. Once your partner raises their hand to you, uses words that are displeasing or demeaning toward you, the love and romance does not mean anything. ​
Be logical when you are justifying others’ actions towards you.
Respect your self-worth.

PROFESSIONAL BOOK REVIEWS OF BE BRAVE: UNCENSORED MOTIVATIONAL QUOTES | Author S.Sulianah | Winter Scribbler Publishing

Publishers Weekly Reviewer - BOOKLIFE REVIEWS
​

Sulianah offers a compendium of original maxims, thoughts, and advice for readers eager for continual inspiration, with the promise that, even when the material gets frank or challenging, the author will resist the urge to censor. Sharing a few lines or even short paragraphs on each page on a host of topics, Sulianah urges readers toward self love and acceptance (“Believe in yourself even though others do not believe in you”), overcoming self doubt (“You can overcome anything in your life. The question is whether you want to”), and understanding and even exiting unhealthy relationships (“Do not make compromises when others devalue you as a person.”)

The result reads like the advice a friend might want to offer to someone caught in an unhealthy relationship or situation but at times, out of politeness, might soft-pedal. No soft-pedaling here, though: “If someone cannot accept who you are, why are you desperate to be who they want you to be?” asks Sulianah, whose experience as a poet shines through in the crisp, direct, at times epigrammatic prose. While generally upbeat and encouraging, Sulianah’s straight talk at times comes with sharp elbows: one chapter is titled “Confidently Respond to Certified Idiots,” which addresses situations like the boss who won’t listen, acquaintances who ask to borrow money, and how to respond when someone raises their voice.

The thread tying the at times loosely organized advice together is “be brave,” and in entries that range from a couple quick, sharp lines to ones that share a personal anecdote and spread across a couple pages, Sulianah identifies familiar, relatable real-life situations and practical, self-preserving guidance for how to handle them. Throughout, the imperative to be courageous and to protect one’s self worth shines through: “Not even your parents are allowed to make you feel down about yourself,” Sulianah declares, and readers seeking encouragement will find much to buoy themselves here.

Clear, practical, original inspirational quotes urge readers to prioritize their self worth.
