1. The first text is from the Five Marks of a Great Leader. In this article, the author points out 5 things that a successful leader need. The five marks are the moral courage, judgment, sense of priority, disposal and concentration of effort and Humor. The author expatiates how these marks are important to the leader by giving specific examples. I choose this article because it helps me to explain the importance of discernment ability.

2. The second text is from an interview of MCI CEO, Michael Capellas. In the interview, it gives some information about Michael Capellas and Capellas’s opinions of dealing MCI’s problem. It is useful for me to show Capellas’s attitude on his achievement which from his own word. 

3. The third text is an introduction of Michal Capellas. It gives reasons that why people need to pay attention on Michal Capellas and make comments on his achievement. From this text, I can show audiences how Capellas use his discernment ability to make big achievements.
