[ citation needed] Were you one of those children who were praised for being “good”? Did you then try hard to be good by always agreeing with parents, teachers, or older relatives? Even if sometimes it was hard, you learned not to complain and bore it quietly? And now that you’re an adult, do you still feel a responsibility to please other people? Do you constantly make an effort not to disturb or be a burden on others? But when there’s someone who makes things difficult for you, you try just to ignore it or put up with it, because it is not in your nature to do or say something that can potentially hurt someone or make someone feel uncomfortable? Brimming with brilliant spiritual advice, maxims, and wisdom.

The nous form of these verbs have pesky little spelling changes in the present tense: Verb Saya pribadi menganggap ini buku yang bagus untuk dibaca. Beberapa nasihat dan kebijaksanaannya memang klise, tapi bukan kah kita bisa memandangnya sebagai pengingat yang baik untuk hidup kita. Isi buku ini memang sederhana. Maka peruntukannya memang ketika kita membutuhkan buku self help yang ringan tapi tetap berbobot. Saya menyukai kesan hangat dan penuh kasih yang ada dalam tiap tulisannya.
