book : Same as Ever: A Guide to What Never Changes, by Morgan Housel

Why shouldn't we eat orange peels?
Famous people usually have outstanding abilities in one particular area.
And we might mistakenly assume that they have the same abilities in other fields as well.

People are like two sides of a coin.
So if one side is exceptionally prominent,
That person is likely to have equally significant weaknesses.

His gentle tone made my eyes sting with tears I didn't want to shed. "Grandpa... why am I such a loser? I can't do math, I can...

"The Quantum Leap of Lucky Lucy" Hey there! I'm Lucy Armstrong, a 14-year-old 8th grader at Westfield Middle School in suburban Chicago. Grab a seat, 'cause I'm about to tell you how I went from being the unluckiest kid in Illinois to... well, you'll see! Last fall, I was at rock bottom. My grades were tanking, my crush Jake wouldn't even look my way, and my pet ferret, Noodle, had just made a great escape. I thought, "This is it. I've hit peak loser." Then, on a gloomy Monday, while I was hiding out in the AV room (my usual lunch spot), something crazy happened. A glowing book literally fell through the ceiling! The cover read "Quantum Mechanics for Lucky Teens." Weird, right? The first equation was "Kindness = Luck²." So, I decided to help Zoe, the new girl everyone was avoiding because of her "odd" clothes and thick accent. I invited her to sit with me at lunch and helped her navigate our school's clique-i...
