Author: (English) Baden-Powell
Publisher:
Publish Date: 2006-04-01
Features: This book seems somewhat outdated at first glance. You might laugh that Scout activities have been gone for so many years, how much relevance they have to today's life? But after reading the entire book, you will realize the shining wisdom of General Baden-Powell. You will understand why young people who dream of success and happiness have used this book as a guide since its publication. This book uses the journey of a Scout to metaphorically represent the journey of life, revealing the meaning of life and the paths to achieve success and happiness. The English original title of this book is "Rovering to Success." "Rovering" (wandering) does not mean aimless strolling but refers to finding one's own path in a joyful way under the guidance of a clear objective, knowing that difficulties and dangers may be encountered along the way. Facing difficulties head-on and maintaining a positive attitude are one of the core ideas of this book. In proactive work and the journey of life, difficulties will always arise. General Baden-Powell said, "When you add some salt when stewing fish, you will find it can make the fish tastier. Difficulties are like salt in life."
