Things I Liked
For me, Kurt's commitment to growing and expanding the farm is an analogy to my time here at USC. Just like Kurt treating the farm as a growing opportunity rather than a full-time business, I look at USC in a similar way; I'm here to grow and expand my mind, and I don't look at myself as a "full-time student." I think that mindset helped Kurt learn while simultaneously taking pressure off of himself, and that is something we can all be better at.
Something else that I really enjoyed was how Kurt learned through trial and error. He was extremely observant while performing all of his tasks, which is another thing that I could improve, because being observant allows us to learn things that we wouldn't have otherwise noticed or even thought about trying to learn.
Things I Didn't Like
The only complaint I can think of so far is how slowly the book progresses; sometimes I feel like I understand the point that is trying to be made, but it takes 10 more pages to finish the sub-story. Maybe I'm just an impatient millennial, but that would be my one complaint.
I agree a with a lot of what you said, but I actually like the slow progress of the book, it is easy to read a lot in one sitting.
