Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights:#1 Get a life. Do not take life for granted. Live by the words of this poem by Gwendolyn Brooks: Get a life in which you are not alone. Find people you love, and who love you.#2 We can waste our lives by taking for granted the pale new growth on an evergreen, the sheen of the limestone on Fifth Avenue, the color of our kids’ eyes, or the way a symphony rises and falls and disappears and rises again.#3 I learned to live many years ago. Something bad happened to me, but I learned to love the journey, not the destination. I learned that this is not a dress rehearsal, and that today is the only guarantee you get. I learned to look at all the good in the world and try to give some of it back.
