I really liked this information from the book on pages 101-102, which stated: "Every failure, every crisis, can become an enormous opportunity. The word for crisis in Chinese consists of two characters- one for danger and one for opportunity. So, for every dangerous situation, there is an opportunity that can be learned from- where you can grow and reach out and develop yourself further..."
These "opportunites" are what the author calls, "golden eggs". And you get to choose by your attitude, to make these cosmic gifts as either rotten or golden.
