"If you don't wipe the grease spot off your own camera lens, the whole world will be smudged forever."
A cute little book about learning to live life in your own meaningful way. It's mostly written for those living in collectivistic cultures that have to deal with a lot more societal and familial pressures. It still offers nuggets of wisdom for those who don't have to experience that, and offers an insight in a different culture and the not-so-great aspects of it.
6/10 - comforting, cute art, not too useful if you already live in an individualistic society.
