6.Cymber Larkin's face lights up,her red hair shining in the late afternoon sun,as she talks about her musical ambitions.
"I am hoping my career just takes off,and everything will be exactly how I want it,like my dream come ture,"she says.
The 16-year-old daugher of baseball Hall of Farmer Barry Larkin is creating her own identity as an R&B/pop singer.
She is also one of Central Florida's top lacrosses players and plays for Dr Phillips High School (DP).
"I've been playing with DP since fifth grade",Cymber says.But even though Cymber excels at lacrosses and wants to earn a college scholarship,her future is clearly in music.
Cymber's stage name is Cymcole.She signed with a production company shortly after turning 15.
Cymber recently shot a music video for her first single in New York.Her debut album,Live It Up is scheduled to be released this summer.
"We would always play dress-up,and she would be a singer star,"says Sarah Hamp,one of Cymber's best friends,"She is getting there now".
Her father,Barry,encouraged Cymber to start playing lacrosses at the age of 8.Barry was a 12-time-all-star with the Cincinati Reds.
"When I am playing lacrosses,I am just having fun and laughing,going crazy with my friends and being all silly,"Cymber says.
"Don't be fooled,though.Cymber's game is serious."
"She is an excellent player,"DP coach Kerry Waston says."Her stick skills are unbelievable so we are really excited to have her".
"I don't want to be known as Barry Larkin's daughter.I want my own reputation",says Cymber.

3.How to Become an Effective Leader
The key to becoming an effective leader is not to focus on making other people follow,but on making yourself the kind of person they want to follow.(36)E It takes time to become a trustworthy leader.
As you prepare yourself to become a better leader,use the following guidelines to help you grow:
•Don't be self-centered.
The truly great leaders are not in leadership for personal gain.(37)C Perhaps that is why Lawrence Bell remarked,"A man who cannot bother to do little things for others are unlikely to become a good leader."
•(38)A
Rare is the effective leader who didn't learn to become a good follower first.That is why a leadership institution such as the United States Military Academy teaches its officers to become effective followers first.
•Work with excellence.
No one respects and follows mediocrity(平庸).Leaders who earn the right to lead give their all to what they do.They bring into play not only their skills and talents,but also great passion and hard work.(39)G
•Give your power away.
What makes leadership so special is that you become a better leader by sharing whatever power you have,not by saving it all for yourself.(40)B If you use your power to empower others,your leadership will extend far beyond your grasp.

A.Become a good follower first.
B.You are meant to be a river,not a pool.
C.They lead in order to serve other people.
D.Leaders help people to reach their potential.
E.Leadership isn't learned or earned in a moment.
F.Leadership is influence,nothing more,nothing less.
G.They perform on the highest level of which they are capable.
