Bend, Not Break!

I have been reading this book titled "Bend, Not Break" for the past one week plus. This book talks about the CEO of Geomagic overcoming obstacles and from being a nobody to attaining the Entrepreneur of the year award. It was very inspiring and I really learned quite a lot from it. After completing the book, I was thinking about how many people can actually survive such harsh condition and turn dismal into hope and success. It really requires a lot of determination and willpower to do so. Thus, we should be grateful with what we have currently. Gratitude and Appreciation.

Also, the title "Bend, Not Break" reminded me about one thing. One should be willing to change its approach in face of obstacles. Quite often, we always hear conflicts between so and so. I believe these conflicts were caused by parties not willing to give in or accommodate the other party. Perhaps due to personal ego issue, people always like to use hard approach against those using it. What they did not realise is that if they are willing to give in, things may not get worse or ugly and there might be a happy ending whereby there is a win-win situation. This makes me recall a Chinese proverb "忍一时风，退一步海阔天空。" Sometimes, we need to be calm and see the bigger picture and not let emotion overwhelm us.

Like a bamboo in face of strong wind, bend and dont break! =)

I just want to add on to my introduction yesterday that please bear with my atrocious English. I know there are some grammatical errors here and there. I will try to improve like how I always strive to better myself. Thank you!
