There was a lot of chatter among my team members about how great two picture books they read. Here are all the picture books I have read and my favorite parts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Big Panda and Tiny Dragon<\/h2>\n\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

This story is about two friends, a big panda and a tiny dragon, who travel together during the changing seasons. This is one of the few books with different seasons as the chapter names. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

My top three picks from this book. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. ‘Which is more important,’ asked Big Panda, ‘the journey or the destination?’
    ‘The company,’ said Tiny Dragon.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. ‘Sometimes, you just have to be silly.’<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. ‘How is that tree still standing?’ asked Tiny Dragon
    ‘During better times,’ said Big Panda, ‘it grew deep roots. Now it can weather any storm’.’<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
    \n\n\n\n

    The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse<\/h2>\n\n\n
    \n
    \"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

    My top three picks from this book. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. “Asking for help isn’t giving up,” said the horse.
      “It’s refusing to give up.”<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Be curious.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. “Being kind to yourself is one of the greatest kindnesses,” said the mole.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
      \n\n\n\n

      Sapiens A Graphic History (Vol 1 and 2)<\/h2>\n\n\n
      \n
      \"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

      The original book is actually much better than the graphic book. Without reading the original book, I’m not sure if I would have figured out the whole story<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Zen pencils<\/h2>\n\n\n

      Don’t make stuff because you want to make money…
      … it will never make you enough money.
      Make gifts for people.
      And work on making those gifts in the hope that those people will notice.
      Maybe they will notice how hard you worked…
      …And maybe they won’t.
      And if they didn’t notice…
      … I know it’s frustrating.
      But ultimately that doesn’t change anything because your responsibility is not to the people you’re making the gift for…
      …BUT TO THE GIFT ITSELF. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

      Calvin & Hobbes<\/h2>\n\n\n
      \n
      \"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

      I love each and every one of Calvin and Hobbes. Consider yourself lucky if you own this entire collection and if you’ve read the whole thing at least once in your life. After 10 years, this is the last post with which they finished the whole series. It’s something I look forward to every day! <\/p>\n\n\n
