Buku ini buku pertama saya membaca, dan saya sangat terkejut di dalam buku ini luar biasa mengajarkan kita untuk berfikir lebih luas tidak terkotak, optimis, yakin, bisa, berani. Yang tadinya pemikiran saya closeminded,saya baru sadar ternyata orang-orang hebat itu berfikir untuk menghargai di sekelilingnya dan lebih mengkotrol apapun.
