I recently read Meditations by Marcus Aurelius, and it offered a profound perspective on life. It reminded me that, regardless of our circumstances—whether rich or poor, successful or struggling—we must stay grounded and practice gratitude daily. Life is fleeting, and the most meaningful way to honor it is by living with purpose, focusing on what we can control, and appreciating the present moment.

Here are two standout books from my reading list last year that I highly recommend:
1. *Spoon-Fed: Why Almost Everything We’ve Been Told About Food Is Wrong* by Tim Spector
2. *Predictably Irrational: The Hidden Forces That Shape Our Decisions* by Dan Ariely
Both titles offer a clear glimpse into their insightful content!

I read the Elon Musk biography. I have to say that Musk is really a doer, and I was impressed by his strict demand for high efficiency and his passion for the career. Pursuing high quality and efficiency should be the basic qualities that every startup should have.

Atomic Habits by James Clear profoundly changed my perspective on personal development. The book emphasizes that small, consistent changes can lead to significant results, empowering readers to transform their habits and ultimately their lives through a practical and accessible framework.
