Book Club: What I Wish I Knew When I was 20- Tina Seelig

My best friend brought me this book to read over the weekend. After having some really insightful and in-depth talks with her I realized that I need to definitely make some changes when it comes to my people skills and how I approach my life. This book really opened my eyes to how I should think about problems that come up in the work place and my life. This is not just for 20-somethings but anyone who has ever experienced a low point or needs a new perspective on life. I found myself thinking about common problems I have faced recently when it comes to becoming more efficient and serious about life. Check out the following quotes!

" The world is divided into people who wait and those who just do it"

"People are not just lucky, they work hard too"

"Craft the story now, how you would want to tell it later"

"Take responsibility for your actions and be willing to learn from your experiences"

"Learn how to negotiate"

These are just a few snippets, but the whole book was a worthwhile read. I hope to integrate some of these ideas into my everyday practice and work. What books have changed the way you thought about your life?
