Never judge a book by its cover, don’t expect ease from life.
Have you ever been surprised by someone in your life? Means someone who seems boring to you at first, then today he is your good friend. This means that one should never judge a person on the basis of his personality. If you also want to form an opinion about someone, then first you try to test his heart.
The opposite scenario can also be true. It may also happen that you trust a stranger too much, then you come to know that that person was not like that at all. Therefore, before trusting anyone, you must ask yourself a question that do I know this person well?
If your heart gives testimony and your mind supports, then only you will trust a stranger completely. (Make your Bed Book Summary)
The author shares an anecdote here. He tells that when he was in college and looking at his career in the Navy. Then he joined a firm to know more about this field. There he saw a boy. His name was Tom Norris. Seeing the thin, lean and bald looking boy, no one could say that he would ever become a Navy officer. (Make your Bed Book Summary)

The team the writer was part of during underwater training in the Navy. That team used to come mostly last. Now a way in front of the writer was to leave the training fearing his failure or to identify where he was making a mistake?
The author took another route. Walking the other way, he realized that a person should never give up. He just needs to change his attitude. If a person changes his attitude, then no one can stop him from being successful and happy in life.
Failure also teaches you to take risks. If you want to do something big then you have to take big risk. (Make your Bed Book Summary)
