Can you give an example of someone being 'stars in his own story'?

One example could be Henry VII of England. He won the throne through his own military campaigns and political maneuvering at the end of the Wars of the Roses. There was much more to his story, like his efforts to stabilize the kingdom after the long - running civil war, his marriage to Elizabeth of York which united the warring houses, and his policies to strengthen the monarchy.

Malcolm Gladwell is someone who tells his story. He writes non - fiction books where he often draws on his own insights and experiences. His books are filled with anecdotes and his analysis of various phenomena, which are in a way his way of sharing his view of the world, which is shaped by his own journey.

Sure. Consider Steve Jobs. He dropped out of college, but he didn't let that stop him. He had a vision for creating user - friendly and innovative technology products. He co - founded Apple and through his decisions and leadership, he changed the world of technology. His story shows that he was the master of his own destiny, making choices that led to his great success.

Imagine Beck is a member of a cat fanfic club. One day, a publisher wants to use some cat fanfic without proper permission. Beck, being protective, gathers all the evidence of the fanfic's origin and ownership. He contacts the publisher and firmly tells them that they can't just use the fanfic without following the proper procedures. This shows Beck's protectiveness over cat fanfic.

Sure. Think of a man who once made a big mistake in his career. He might try to start over in a new job, but his previous error is still part of his story. It could influence how he approaches new tasks or how others perceive him. He can't just erase that part of his past; it's always there in his overall story.

There's a short story where a detective is writing down his investigation into a serial killer case in his diary (he is the teller). As he gets closer to the truth, the serial killer discovers his diary and uses the information in it to track him down and kill him. So the detective, who was in the process of telling his own story of the investigation, gets killed in that very story.

Sure. A famous critic once slammed a best - selling fantasy novel because he thought the world - building was too simplistic. He wrote a review saying the places and cultures in the novel lacked depth and detail, which made it feel like a cheap imitation of other successful fantasy novels.

Sure. Let's say a coach is telling his team about how he once overcame a major setback in his playing days. He was injured badly but through sheer determination and an unwavering belief in himself, he came back stronger. His players might be seduced by this big dick story. They are inspired by his confidence and tenacity, and it makes them want to work harder and believe in their own abilities more.

One example could be in a high - school setting. A group of students might spread false rumors about another student being gay as part of a mean - spirited joke or to gain social status. The targeted student is then'manuavered into' this false gay story without their consent.

Let's say you are part of a team - building exercise at work. Each person is given a photo of a stranger. You are then 'forced to be a little story' about that person's life just based on the photo. For instance, if the photo shows a person in a suit standing in front of an old building, you could say that he is a young entrepreneur who has just bought that old building to turn it into a modern office space. He has big dreams and is ready to take on the challenges of the business world.
