From a culture rich in advice and thought, this little book is a collection of centuries of traditional wisdom. Each proverb is illustrated along with words in both English and Chinese. This saying made me smile and nod in agreement:
"Do not wait until you're thirsty to dig a well" (p. 42).
Here's another: "An old horse knows the way" (p. 36). As you can see, it's short and the whole book can be read in a few minutes. If you stop to ponder each saying that is included, it could take a bit longer. Maybe that's the whole point.
