This book is greatt!! It’s informative, but not a boring kind of informative. It’s actually very interesting and the pictures in it are really cute.

I got the book yesterday at Chapters and I’ve already read Part I and the beginning of Part II until Habit 2. I’m gonna read Habit 2 later.

The cartoons are so cute. I found some good quotes that I highlighted in what I read so far. Let’s see…

“Don’t go around saying the world owes you a living. The world owes you nothing. It was here first.” – Mark Twain

It’s so funny but so true. There was another one about imagination. “It is a remarkable gift. It allows us to escape our present circumstances and create new possibilities in our heads. It gives us a chance to visualize our futures and dream up what we would like to become.”

I like that cause sometimes I do it too. There’s these baby steps at the end of each chapter that I should try. I’ve tabbed all the ones that I should do. The whole side of the book is all colorful.

At the beginning of the book, there’s a list of the top 10 all-time stupid quotes by people many years ago. The people who said the quotes were experts in their field. At the time, they sounded intelligent, but then over time, they just sound stupid. Here’s the #1 all-time stupid quote:

“Everything that can be invented has been invented.” – Charles H. Duell, U.S. Commissioner of Patents, in 1899

Oh how wrong he was.
