It seems an unusual approach for a prospective leader to ask people to write your manifesto, but presidential hopeful, Hillary Clinton has done that.She is asking people to write her vision for her leadership of the USA in a song title.

“It’s the End of the World as We Know It.”

“Vicious.”
Hillary’s idea is challenging as it makes you think about the song title that would be the most appropriate for your life and work.
