Last Saturday, September 6, 2025, the scholars once again entered the battlefield of knowledge as we finished the final chapter of the book “𝗧𝘂𝗿𝗻 𝗘𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝗲𝘆” with an engaging topic about Battle vs. Game and Finding the Great Teacher.
The session gave us many realizations. Life can often feel like a battle — full of struggles, overwhelming challenges, and fights that leave us unsure if we can win. But the book challenged us to shift our perspective. Instead of seeing life as a battle, see it as a game. A game gives us space to try, to fail, and to try again. It allows us to grow not only for our own progress but also for the betterment of others. With this mindset, the journey becomes lighter, more meaningful, and more enjoyable.

And just like in every game, mentors matter. We can not win alone. Everyone has the potential to be a great teacher regardless of age, background, or beliefs, as long as they help make the path clearer for themselves and others. A good teacher shares knowledge. An effective teacher helps achieve results. But a great teacher does both while inspiring us to stay true to the right path. In a world full of instructors, choose to be a great teacher.
To sum up the whole book, it states that we all have and had choices in life. The book reminds us that money is not only the bills and coins we hold. It is the value we create, from our skills, our experiences, our learnings, and even the relationships we build with people. In the end, the lesson is simple yet powerful: money is more than what we keep in our hands. It is the value we create, the opportunities we see, and the impact we leave on others.
A big thank you to all the scholars who joined and shared their meaningful insights. Your commitment to learning and growth is truly inspiring!
