[Jenna Padayachee]

I learned a lot from this book.
I learned that in life the one thing we can expect Is change, how we respond to change is what matters. Ali experienced many changes but his resilience, mindset, and heart enabled him to overcome many situations in Pakistan and America which ultimately led to his success.

Ali was also open to exploration and this allowed him to venture into new possibilities when it came to relationships, culture, religion, career, and even food. There are many references he makes to trying things that he grew up believing were taboo and this very self-exploration unraveled his path as he followed his heart.

I learned a lot about perseverance. Having recently read a book on hope, this further ignited my resilience to keep going. We can get what we want through perseverance.

This support dramatically transformed his outlook, replacing indifference with a newfound resilience and determination. What struck me as particularly remarkable was how the author highlighted the unique American philosophy that embraces failure as a stepping stone to success, allowing him to metaphorically hit the reset button multiple times. Adding to this transformative journey was the supportive community he found in America—a group that embraced him with love, regardless of his origins.

I learnt the value of empathy and the act of showing kindness to both people we know and those we don't know because we never can tell who will be of help to us tomorrow.

This book reflected to me all the things I take for granted. It inspired me to slow down and say hi to the people I am passing by, to not take my family's acceptance of me for granted, and never underestimate the power of determination.
