Never Judge a book by its cover

This is a simple revelation I found out after buying a book, “The last lecture.” I eventually bought this book after going on a karaoke streak with friends. After a rip-off thanks to karaoke streak, I only got about 60 bucks in my pocket, and despite of the fact that the dinner will again cost me a heck, I still feel that I should buy a book.

And I left the guys walking around Sunway, and rushed to Mph Bookstore. Two books eventually caught my attentions- The last lecture by Randy and the world is flat by (I forget ald…)

Both of the book seems strikingly interesting to me, and since the Last lecture is cheaper than the other book ( 34.90 and 53.90 ).I might as well bought the cheaper one but wait, there’s a catch…

The last lecture is way much thinner compared to “the world is flat”, not to mention the page of the book is even smaller than half of A4 paper. And according to my browsing speed I will be finishing the book in one day! 34.90 In one day, Nah, No thanks…

And then I try to SMS Elizabeth (the book worm), asking whether she got any of the books. However her reply is nowhere to be seen, and time is ticking out…I made a bet, and risking that I will be regretting for my decision, I bought the book “The last lecture.” and realized that I am a freaking idiot after reading the book. The book is REALLY WORTH the price.

If I am going to judge the book based on how thick it is and how the price is, I will definitely miss the book. However, if I turned out to buy another book (which is supposed to be more economical), I would have missed such a nice book. The last lecture is about a dying lecturer that is writing his own lecture to his student and also his still-young children. The way the author wrote the book doesn’t shows that he is a dying person. The way on how Randy wrote the book really gives me a overturn in my brain on how life should be.

For Mr. Randy, whether you’re still in this world or left, thank you for the advice in the book. I’m sorry for even considering whether ur advice is worth 34.90 or not. Thanks to you, my life may not be the same again.

I felt that I had made the right investment (as what Elizabeth said) and sooner after I bought a book, a friend of mine also fussed on which book to buy. He showed me one book and said, “This book is so thick and not that expensive either, maybe I should buy this book.”

For the first time, I truly understand how this sentence means. I told him.

“Wei Young, NEVER judge a book by its cover,”

Maybe it applies also when it comes to interaction between people. Recently, I had just found a book, though without an impressive cover, has a nice content inside it.
Will mention the “BOOK” in next post.
