- Latest Review: If Life Stinks, Get Your Head Outta Your But's by Mark L. Wdowiak
People have a tendency to crave praise for their accomplishments more than striving for a higher achievement. I think the best example of this is when JFK wanted us to go to the moon. We aimed higher and best out the competition by not limiting the ability.

Through this quote author raises the soul of the reader by telling him that each one of us are important and precious to someone, and we need to live life to the fullest to maintain their feelings.

That's why I love books because I get to be exposed to other stories, I become someone different from me by reading. I become a new character. I loved the above quote so much because of this.

I really like the message of it. I do believe it is important to always stay humble and connected to others, and never believe that you are above others due to your social status or wealth.
