Thick Face Black Heart: The Warrior Philosophy for Conquering the Challenges of Business and Life by Chin-Ning Chu

BATB score: 7/10 👹🖤

recommended by the ousted ex-prime minister of Thailand - Thaksin Shinawatra - the detailed fundamentals to his current philosophy of governing and living 👏

Best to: a critical book to read if you want to become a politician - to kill or to be killed, how the fox befriended the tiger, believing in dharma, meditate, pick your battles, money is just a means to an end, and be extremely greedy for success 💯

Best for: if you believe in "winners take all", here's how winners take it all; for beginners, it's about having a thick face against what others think of you and a black heart to ruthlessly be ahead

Best as: a very difficult book to finish; written in 1992 original self-help book - redundant at times, too lengthy at times, too choppy at times, narrated with fables, holistically a very thick book - yet, the important gists are very important indeed ❣ no other book is ever this honest - why the newly appointed king killed all his friends on day 1

Best quote: “Success is the sweetest revenge.”

"Live your life as if it were someone else's (remember not to get too caught up in the drama of life)"

"Money is not part of who you are. You didn't bring it with you at birth, nor will you take it with you at death."
