Ch. 3 & 4
One thing I learned from the author's experience was on page 61, where he says "Deep reflection demands careful observation, not only of the details but also of their relationship to each other." I admire his careful observation to understand that poor community by putting himself in their shoes and working with them hands on.
One thing I was able to connect with my own experiences was on page 67 when it says that growth is will happen when something already existing changes, and while it may seem like it's a horrible thing at the moment "like a forest fire" he says, there is much potential for new growth. I see this happening in my own life when I am pushing towards a goal that ends up leading me in a different direction that works out for the better.
A question I have is: What is the best or effective way to leave a positive impact that aims for growth?
