He went from being laughed off American Idol to performing live with Ricky Martin. Imagine mustering the courage to try out for a reality TV show only to bomb the audition in front of millions of viewers. That level of nationwide humiliation would be enough to make even the most confident among us admit defeat. This story is proof that dreams can come true. Although American Idol hopeful William Hung with his off-key rendition of Ricky Martin’s “She Bangs" never did make it to Hollywood, he overcame the odds to define his own version of success. In this refreshingly upbeat memoir, William offers “Three Cs" to live by:Communication: Be genuine (authenticity goes farther than being phony—even in show business!)Context: Take responsibility for outcomes, especially those you can’t control. And protect your time by saying “no" and setting boundaries. Connection: Build meaningful relationships that will enhance your business and your life. For anyone who’s been booed off the stage of life, William will inspire you to tap into your true potential, turn negativity into something amazing, and reach for the stars. | Champion By Choice by William Hung, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
