RATING
5 out of 10
The book was a quick read and enjoyable but felt as though I was watching a short film as opposed to a fully fleshed out feature. The message of the book was powerful but the actual story could have been better.

KNOWLEDGE FROM THE PAGE
We never actually know what the people around us may be going through unless we ask and care to listen. We have to fight against the urge to judge solely because our peers are judging a person, situation or way of thinking. It is much easier to join the herd but because something is easy, certainly doesn’t make it correct. How we treat people matters, our words are powerful but without action… words are simply empty promises. Be nice. Ask questions. Listen without judgement. Develop actual mutual relationships with the people closest to you and never wait to do tomorrow what you can accomplish today… because one day, there will not be a tomorrow.
