I liked it since you have in-depth explanations and your insights were very true and applies to us. I also liked that you encouraged ideas, and said not to shoot them down.

I have been inspired to read and write more because of you. The learning that impact me the most was, to love writing you should also learn to love reading. I was also inspired by the book you read. I learned that we should never give up no matter how hard the task or situation may be. It may take some time for me and others but the important thing is to never give up and try harder. Thank you for these life lessons that I will always remember.

You have inspired me, not just to be a reader, but also to appreciate who I am. You taught me that ideas are gifts to us. I also learned that we should listen to other people's ideas. You have inspired me to be more positive in facing problems. Through your books, I learned that a problem can be an opportunity. I hope I can be a writer just like you someday.
I will look forward to seeing more books from you. Thank you for inspiring us.

I gained a lot of insights from your talk. You have inspired me to read and write more. I love your books especially “What Do You Do With An Idea?” and “Maybe”. These two books serve as a constant reminder to me that anything is possible. Your books inspired me to dream big, believe in myself and in my ideas; no matter how small, crazy, difficult or impossible it may seem at the moment. It was truly a pleasure and a privilege to meet you today. I will always be grateful for this opportunity to learn so many life lessons from you.

Thank you for writing your "What do you do with a..." series because I personally, find it very entertaining and at the same time, it's both educational and sometimes relatable. I recently viewed one of your works, specifically "What do you do with a chance" and I think it is very helpful. It could help us grasp or strengthen our knowledge about seizing the moment, and not missing any opportunities. I also personally think that this could help me, too, because I find myself procrastinating a lot and when there are chances, I don't take them. Instead, I struggle at the last minute. Personally, I thank you for actually helping me realize this and I think this could be useful for me in the future. Again, on behalf of
the class, we sincerely thank you for accepting the invitation to have a book talk with us today and bringing into light some concepts that may be hard for others to grasp, and helping us realize how to deal with these ourselves and what to do with them.

Your books and ideas showed me that many things are possible, even if we are still young. I hope I can be like you someday who inspires a lot of people.

Through this meeting, we were able to learn the aspects of a writer. Your stories heavily inspired to never give up when others bring us down. You have also taught us that writing is not something you learn overnight. In fact, no one will ever fully learn how to write because as you said in order to learn how to write, we need to read a lot. Even with a hundred lives, we would never finish all the literary works made.

Thank you for sharing with us your growth in writing. Thank you also for sharing your experiences with the intention to teach us life lessons. I will try to get a copy of your book soon.

It was a very interesting talk and we appreciate your being with us. Your books are truly a gift for us children. An inspiration for all of us to become a little bit braver, a little bit bolder in taking our chances, in seeing problems as opportunities, and turning our ideas into realities. We have learned so much from you today. On behalf of my classmates, we are very grateful and glad we took this chance to meet such an incredible person. It is truly our privilege.
