There is no such thing as an ugly duckling. That was an urban myth created by swans.

This is one of the most affordable, concise self-help books on the market. From the world of ducks, Maggie Dent draws some simple life wisdom for busy people, nudging readers to see how some things in life can be changed for the better. Black Duck Wisdom is a light-hearted yet insightful read, and the best part is it can be read in one sitting in the smallest room in the house.

Every day is a new beginning. How you begin it is up to you.
Those of you who drag a lousy yesterday (kicking and screaming) into a new day — don’t blame anyone but yourself for the nature of your life.
Those of you who choose to see each new day through the eyes of a child — may you be blessed with laughter and lightness every day of your life.

 

“What’s the one thing most self-improvement books have in abundance? An awful earnestness. This one’s different, a little daffy you might say. Even while it dispenses insights on life and how to live it, the little book is full of that rare quality — wit.”
— Paul Smith, Kiwiboomers
