101 School Rules

101 Things School Never Taught You — the number 101 is merely symbolic, to help you grasp the idea that the ocean of knowledge is boundless. On average, a person has about 80 years to learn, but even that is a limited amount of time to master everything. So how do we make the most of this finite time to learn what truly matters?

These are the kinds of challenges everyone inevitably faces and seeks answers to—so why not make them easier to navigate? “Behind every successful person is a not-so-small bookshelf, and I hope to contribute a little something to yours. I hope you read this book slowly and thoughtfully, just as I wrote it.”

Hà Trang, a young author who often reflects on such questions, has written 101 Things School Never Taught You to serve as a practical guide for young people seeking answers to life’s essential challenges—whether in work, study, relationships, or health.

Twelve years of primary and secondary education, four years of university, and even two to six years of postgraduate study still may not be enough for one to become truly whole. Schools can provide knowledge, but they’re not the only teacher in life. True success and happiness come from how you apply that knowledge—and that responsibility rests with you.

Hà Trang doesn’t write in maxims or theory. Instead, she names and unpacks the real-life skills and insights that form the foundation of personal success and fulfillment—from soft skills like greetings and handshakes, to what and how to study, to how to behave appropriately in different situations.
