The Guy With A Book.

A small story from my last flight.

The plane had just landed.

The guy two rows ahead of me shut his book.

Slipped it into his bag.

I only caught a one-second glimpse.

Yellowish-orange cover.

Bold black letters in ALL CAPS.

Two rows. Short words.

Something like: DO / DON’T / …something.

My brain refused to let it go - I had to know the title.

So I asked every AI I had.

ChatGPT: Do Epic Shit.

Gemini: Do Over.

DeepSeek: Do No Harm.

None felt right.

So I turned to Google.

Image mode.

Scrolled through hundreds of covers.

One search - “productivity books with yellow cover” - got me close.

Two options stood out:

Do More Better

Do It Today

But I wasn’t sure.

When the airport bus stopped, I walked up to him.

“Hey, sorry… could you please tell me the name of that book you were reading?”

He didn’t say a word.

He reached into his bag.

Pulled it out.

Smiled.

Handed it to me.

The book was: Do It Today.

I was so close.

I clicked a picture.

And here’s what I learned:

• Curiosity is worth following.

• Nice people are still out there. Be kind, even when the world screams not to.

• You don’t need to read all the productivity books. Because if you search any word - you’ll find a title out of it.

And the title itself is the biggest advice.

Do It Today.

So, read less.

Do more.
