Sample Book Insights:
#1 Your place in the world is something that speaks to your sense of purpose in life. It is where you feel fulfilled, alive, and at peace. It is where you belong.
#2 I was the only Black kid in my synagogue, and I was often uncomfortable being different. I learned to adapt to different types of people, and I became extremely adaptable.
#3 Ego can be dangerous, as it can lead you to be overly competitive and selfish. It’s wiser to focus on collaboration over competition, caring more about doing good than making yourself look good, and giving credit freely rather than seeking glory yourself.
#4 I was lucky that my mom was the sort of person who believed in other people’s potential, especially her own son’s. When my sixth grade teacher tried to track me into special education, my mom marched to school to meet with her and inform her that under no circumstances would that be happening.
