Valuable lesson with room for improvement
While this book teaches a great lesson on not giving up on your ideas, i have two issues with it. First of all, i think the pictures could have been better chosen. I dont really think they fit the theme, especially towards the second half. The second half has also done a bad job on being as general as possible and is depicting an idea that could be vast and not just something you are good at or enjoy despite what others say. It tells the story of success and ignores what happens when you should enjoy what you enjoy but others dont care about.
