The essential 55: chapters 44-55

Reading the last chapters 44-55, I saw two rules that stuck out to me the most. The first rule that I thought was one of the best is rule (50: be positive and enjoy life). I think rule 50 is a very inspiring, because mr.clark talks about two situations that makes him realize that we always have to keep moving forward and not let tough situations bother us. He told his story about when his mother was taking him and his sister to school and his car broke down. Mr.Clark's mother called his dad and he thought that his dad was going to get angry but instead he just laughed. His dad didn't let that get him down. P. 143 (They have never gotten negative or disgruntled over issues that are out of their control). Mr. Clark also talks about about another story. He told one of the administrator something that she took the wrong way. He called his mother for advice and she told him to write her a letter and also to call the administrator. So he wrote her a letter and called her. But the situation stayed the same. He called his mother again, and she said that their are things that we can't change and he couldn't let the situation bother him. P. 144 (take pressure off of ourselves, and move on). I feel like this rule is so inspiring because we can't last tough situation bother us p, we just have to move on and be happy. The second that stuck out to me is rule 55. Rule 55 says P. 158 ( be the best person you can be), this rule is one of my favorite from this book. In this rule Mr.Clark talks about how it is import to become the type of person you can be proud of. I feel like this rule is really important because it will help you become the person you want to be in life. It also talks about seven things that will help you in life. P.158 (laughter, family, adventure, good food, challeng, change, and the ques for knowledge.) Rule 55 doesn't come with a story but it is one of important ones because it give you good advice of how to be a better person. The 55 essential is such a life changing book.
