《智慧与事务》是顾方蓁第二本书
For readers familiar with Vera’s first book, “The Most Unlikely these articles will deepen your understanding of the quiet, behind-the-scenes moments of Vera’s life — the motivations that inspired her, the setbacks that nearly broke her. For those who don’t know Vera’s story, the writing here will provide snapshots of inspiration and advice — how to learn new skills no matter your age; how to handle slights with humility; and how setting small goals can help you achieve big things.
These pieces show that despite thriving in multiple worlds, Vera has always remained true to her values: faith, discipline and kindness. They’re values she learned from her parents and her husband, Carlos, and that she’s instilled in her three children. It’s Vera’s hope that readers, new and old alike, will walk away from this collection with the same lessons — that even the worst tragedies don’t have to break a person, and that through hard work and belief, anyone can achieve their dreams.
