DAY 138
Up from Slavery
Up from Slavery
📌 ONE QUESTION FROM THE BOOK
Instead of resenting the harsh conditions given to me, what is the smallest practical action I can take today?
📝ONGO's Reflection
When I opened the autobiography of a man born into slavery, I expected a record of vast anger and struggle. Yet what fills this book is a relentlessly practical diligence that began with sweeping a floor to perfection. From the very bottom, through education and labor, he won his own dignity. Whenever I am tempted to blame my circumstances, I take out this book and read again the weighty, practical attitude toward life that it offers.

"I have learned that success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has overcome."Booker T. Washington, Up from Slavery
"나는 성공이란 사람이 도달한 지위가 아니라, 성공하기 위해 극복한 장애물로 측정되어야 한다는 것을 배웠다."
