Favorite quote from "Reconfigurement"

[Huini Hellen]

What's your favorite quote or quotes from "Reconfigurement"? My favorite so far is "You have go-go years, slo-go years and no-go years. Guess what, the no-go years are not when you travel."
- I appreciate this idea because I believe in the strategy of integrating travel throughout your life, not waiting until you retire.

The "Ying-Yang" concept is what intrigued me most. That there's so much good in the world, yet we shouldn't be carried away to forget the bad that characterizes this world. Ours is a balanced world and the focus should be on what helps us move forward and appreciate the goodness while staying strong for the bad.

This has to also be my favorite quote in the book. It took a very long time before I could understand the go-go years, slo-go years and no-go years. I am currently in the go-go years.

My favorite quote is “You have go-go years, slo-go years and no-go years. Guess what, the no-go years are not when you travel.” I find this quite helpful as it lets me know that it's not only by traveling I can enjoy my life.

i relate to this quote on an entirely different level
Human beings are divided into three class of people: those who toiled to death, those who are worried to death and those who are bored to death."

[Michael Valentine]

My favorite quote from this book was that of Winston Churchill: "Broadly speaking, human beings may be divided into three classes: those who are toiled to death, those who are worried to death, and those who are bored to death." I like this quote because it perfectly supports the author's idea of reconfiguring and molding people's lives and the need for a turning point in anyone's life.

Apart from the quote about the Go-Go years, this one really stuck with me. I saw it from a different perspective, though. It showed our different approaches to life and what it brings.

The quote that really got me should be Churchill's quote on the three kinds of people. "....the ones who toil to death, the ones who are worried to death, and those who are bored to death" I mean, I started wondering where I fit in.

This is actually the most motivational quote I saw in the book. Because it shows all the possible phases we could face during our career, it's not always a good time.

In a small village in rural Afghanistan, there lived a poor but wise farmer. One day his horse ran away. His neighbors came by to offer their sympathy, saying “what a terrible misfortune.” But the wise old farmer simply scuffed his feet in the soil and said “perhaps.” The next day the missing horse returned, leading an entire herd of beautiful wild horses. The neighbors came to celebrate, saying “how wonderful.” All the wise farmer said is, “perhaps.” And the next day, the farmer's only son went to tame one of the wild horses. In the process, he broke his leg. The neighbors all came by to commiserate, saying “how awful,” and again, the wise farmer only said, “perhaps.”

The next day, the forces of the local warlord came down to forcibly impress all the young men of the village and lead them to war, but because of his fractured leg, the farmer's son was left behind. Again, the neighbors came by to offer congratulations, but all the wise farmer said was, “perhaps.” The moral of this two-sided story is that all situations, no matter how terrible they appear on surface, have within them the seeds and the potential for good.

That is my favorite quote, because it shows that something that seemed bad at the time turned out to be a blessing further on.

Throughout the book, my favorite quote was "You have go-go years, slo-go years and no-go years. This quote was provacative and stimulated my reasoning in a way.

I like the part where he speaks about the yin and yuan. I've always been taught that the yin/yuan represents good and evil. It was interesting to see it from a perspective where it represented danger/pain and opportunity. It gives the meaning a whole new perspective.

I couldn't agree less.
Learnt something new about yin and yuan being pain and opportunity.

The Churchill one to be honest. This is not just because he's a famous man lol but I connected with the idea of some of us are "bored to death" as up until recently that used to be me.
