Dedicated to every one of you who is struggling in the ordinary, but has never extinguished the fire in your heart. We were born ordinary, grew up in the ordinary, were polished by reality, and were busy making a living. But even though we are born like grass, we still have the right to look up at the stars; we are like a mote of dust, but we still have the desire to fly against the wind. This is not a success Bible, but a survival guide and a hymn to courage written for ordinary people. I hope these words can accompany you through the mud, take root in the limited soil, and grow your own wings. To change your life against the odds, start by accepting your ordinary self.
