“Thanks for Liwei to well prepare the inspiring and interactive workshops yesterday. As the saying goes, A good question is worth more than a thousand answers. These questions in PPT are well designed to have us think deeply about what we really pursue and desire in the bottom of our hearts. I believe Liwei is a great life coach who can always help the individuals discover their inner motivaition and make the positive change by guiding them to take the consisitent actions.
I like these sentences in the workshop：
1）Every single one of us can create the positive change our hearts most wish to see for ourselves and for our society !
2）Create Positive Ripples Around You
3）You Are A Masterpiece In Progress!
It makes me recall some thoughts in < Atomic Habits >:
1)One of the most effective things you can do to build better habits is to join a culture where your desired behavior is the normal behavior and you already have something in common with the group.
2)The most effective way to change your habits is to focus not on what you want to achieve, but on who you wish to become. Becoming the best version of yourself requires you to continuously edit your beliefs, and to upgrade and expand your identity [Heart]”
