[Book Summary] Go Back to Where You Came From—Wajahat Ali

Rating: ★★★★★

By far the best memoir I've ever listened to! 

The author's family suffered from all sorts of challenges. Since 911, people of color/Muslim have to go through profiling and someone even try to ban people from the so-called "Muslim World" from entering the United States.

There are two sentences in this book I love particularly. 

If you build it, they will come.

This is originally from a movie Field of Dreams and it's "If you build it, he will come." in the movie. Put in simple terms. If you have faith and put in the effort, it's more likely to become true.

Tie your camel first, and then put your trust in Allah.

You can substitute Allah with God if you're not a Musilm. If you know Mandarin/Chinese, you probably heard of "聽天由命" before. If you know Minnan/Taiwanese, you probably heard of "三分天注定，七分靠打拼."

There're many things in our lives that we can't control. The only thing we can do is do our best. If you can see the world in this way, you may not regret as much as you were.
