Book of the Week (#15): Together is Better

Updated: Mar 30, 2021

I started taking French lessons last Monday, three times a week. I wrote an article on my blog. Thanks to the organizer, that article has more than 100 views. Last night I received 优秀学员 ( Student of Excellence) award for assignment #4. It strengthens my belief: Together is Better as I would not have been so motivated If I am doing it alone.


That title "Together is Better" is borrowed from this week's Book of the Week.


It is called itself "A Little Book of Inspiration". Yes, the physical format of the book is smaller than the regular size of a book. The content is yet very rich and grand.


There are many points from the book worthy of reflecting on and applying to real life. I am copying some here:

  • Most of us live our lives by accident – we live as it happens.

  • Fulfillment comes when we live our lives on purpose

  • We achieve more when we chase the dream instead of the competition

  • Discontent can easily drive us to walk away. But only with a clear vision, no matter from where or from whom it comes, can we find the inspiration to set ourselves on a journey to go towards something greater

  • Life is beautiful not because of the things we see or the things we do. Life is beautiful because of the people we meet (yes, this is my favorite)

  • Working hard for something we don’t care about is called stress. Working hard for something we love is called passion


To go fast, go alone; To go far, go together. African proverb.


I believe that teamwork makes the dream work.


You?
