I have read many useful books in my life, but I will always remember one book that is really special to me and has made a great impact on me and my personality. The book is called 'The Goodbad Mother.' I read it about 2 to 3 years ago. It's really useful and changed my way of thinking. The book is about a boy who used to think that his mother is a bad mother because she treated him very badly without any emotions or a beautiful connection between a mother and her offspring. But with time, this boy realized that his mother is really a good mother because she had her reasons to treat him like that when he was young. Then I learned that our perspectives can change according to the situation. He misunderstood his mother, so he used to think she's bad, but actually, she's a really good mother. So I think that what's happening to us, bad things or bad people that treat us, maybe they are something good for us, but we cannot realize this right now. I learned that everything that happens may look like a bad thing, but actually, it may be a good thing. This changed my perspective on life in a very significant way. Yes, I really liked this book and I recommend it.
