currently, i already read half of it. and i can summarize this book as interesting.
it tells us how we should see SUCCESS from different views. as example, bill gates. everyone thinks that he is a genius. built up a sofware and then bang! he become the richest man on earth. but actually, to be that succesful, he needs a lot of oppurtunities and lucks. and the author shows us how this combination bring success to someone. interesting right?
this is one tiny part of this book that i like most...(i even marked this part)
"The tallest oak in the forest is the tallest not just because it grew from the hardiest acorn; it is the tallest also because no other trees blocked its sunlight, the soil around it was deep and rich, no rabbit chewed through its bark as a sapling, and no lumberjack cut it down before it matured.we all know that successful people come from hardy seeds. but do we know enough about the sunlight that warmed them, the soil in which they put down the roots, and the rabbits and lumberjacks they were lucky enough to avoid? this is not a book about tall trees. it is a book about forests."
so nice. and after reading this part, i started to think who is my warm sunlight, my rich soil, the rabbit and the lumberjack that i luckily enough to avoid until i can reach this level.
thank you so much to my sunlight that non-stop giving me the warm and energy, thank you so much to my rich soil that become a home for my roots and allowing me sucking all the nutrients for me to grow and grow and grow in order to become among the tallest tree in my own forest.
p/s: finally i'm back to my favourite before-go-to-sleep routine. reading a few pages of my favourite books (medical books are stricly prohibited) with bedside lamp.
