You don't have to get old to be wise

This book is simple, inspiring, creatively written and a must read for young people especially school students.Yes, we all think wisdom can be accumulated through life experiences. It's true, when you grow old, you'll gain more wisdom. But on the other hand, as De Bono pointed out, wisdom in fact can be learned, adapted and created. The clue is we need to know how to think and choose how to live our lives. Read this book and you'll know how you can be wise earlier than other.One interesting thing about this book is the way it's written. There is no sequence or chapter. It's just broken into many paragraphs with lots of simple illustrations to aid reader to understand the points it conveys. You can pick any page to read at any time and still get a completed message regarding a specific topic. Even if you read the same paragraph again in another time, you'll get refreshed or gain new insight for you have reached new level in your life.Whenever I open the book, I'll get something positive and constructive that can make me become wiser.
