Hurry! Hurry!

快點!快點!

#communication #attitude #life style

“Hurry! Hurry!” is a common phrase of a lot of parents. We often do a lot of things hurriedly but we do not win extra time by doing so. This book helps us to rethink why we do things in a hurry, and what we miss when rushing all the time. And through rethinking, maybe we can learn to slow down to breathe in the fragrance of flowers by the road.
