* I like the way the authors compares life using Swiss Cheese (kinda makes you think and goes 'Ohhhh... I see....' when you read each chapter).
* Each chapter in the book are interesting to read and I love the illustrations in the book as well.
* I love how the authors uses W.A.I.T to represent the points for What Am I Thinking in page 86.
* I also love page 132 on the statement of "Opportunity is NOWHERE" - it depends on how you look at things, whether "Opportunity is Nowhere" or "Opportunity is Now Here!". Awesome!
* I love the lesson taught on page 224 about the ability to forgive others.
In summary, it is a book that shows you how to get through the holes in your life and how to overcome the obstacles and turned out to be a better person.
