On the first sight of the 400+ paged Chinese book, I was intimidated but determined to finish reading the whole book. Over the course of reading, I came across various phrases and words that I have never seen before in my life. Although I would not really find much use of those phrases and words in real life, it was still rather brain stimulating to have a difficult book presented to me not in content, but in understanding of the words itself. The way that the book is presented is also rather unique, with the main points summarised at the left hand side of the page and the main bulk of content on the other side. After reading the book, I feel the joys of learning a language and being able to read in something other than your native tongue (or English which is more commonly used for me).
The book has really given me some insights to showing respect to not only others, but also yourself. Respect comes from within, it is a choice and not a forced decision. For example, something that I can remember is from the last parts of the book, where the author talks about leadership in a company with regards to respect. I felt like those points could not only be used in leadership of a business, but also project management or anything that requires you to step up as the person with more responsibility in a social setting.

The elites in life will often receive more jealousy, hate and blame compared to others.
With preparation comes success, otherwise failure.
Not really a quote but I think that this is something that is worth noting down. This could be something I could look back to when I am trying to affirm myself that I should live life with as little regrets as possible.
