So, here are few insights from the book:

1. Thinking is one of the most important things we humans do. So, Think straight.
2. You become what you think about all day long.
3. So in order to think straight all times, we must be grounded and look to facts and listen other people's perspectives and then only draw practical conclusions.
4. One cannot achieve this in one day. It's a process that needs some practice just like we train our body, we have to train our mind.
5. Thoughts are important, but all thoughts are not equal. The quality of thought matters the most.
6. "Cogito ergo sum", In Latin means "I exist as I am able to think". It expresses the idea that very act of thinking proves one's existence as a conscious being.
7. Thoughts should serve a useful purpose, if they don't, they are useless.
8. If you want different results, then do the different things. Be unconventional.
9. True is what works, but one should not take it too literally.
10. Do what works for you.
11. We should say to our thoughts "Hey you! You are not the one controlling me!".
12. Only think about the things you can control.
13. Thinking about the past doesn't serve any purpose until it's about reflecting the mistakes you made.
14. Look at the facts, test it and learn from other's experiments too.
15. Take time to think and give answers but not just be impulsive.
16. Sometimes, in life when everything is going good we feel like quitting the habits/works we used to do, but we should treat this as a great sign, as it's the big wall we need to break in order to reach the new learning wall.so when we get nearer to the big wall, we just need to give a little break and rejuvenate and get back to where we left off.
17. Knowing about themselves is important thing in life that everyone should do. It's all about finding the things that are not for us.
18. Taking sometime daily to reflect on ourselves is needed most.
19. Managing money is the thing we have to learn. We should save at least 10 percent of our earnings and should invest in something useful, be it the stock market/real estate or developing your skills or be it buying accessories like laptop which is used for long term earning/saving.
20. Even the small things are important and should be taken of all details or they might lead to bigger accidents.
21. Actions are much useful than thinking a lot. Instead try a method with simple plan first and then make the changes accordingly by the problems you face and stick it to the system which gives the better results.
22. One spends his time consciously when he knows that he has less time. So spend your time very wisely.

Finally, one should not dwell in the past or regret not doing something. Instead, we should learn from our past experiences and use them to guide our decisions in the present.

This is it for now. Meet you on another day with another book.
