This was unbelievable to me and my partner because we never thought or were confident that our project would get this much attention. Our plan to make this project sustainable would be to sell the book. If we sold it for 30 RMB (which is the price most of the people said they would pay for), every second book we sold would allow us to print another one in order to be able to keep selling them. This taught me a lot about sustainability, team-work and personal excellence. If I was to do this in the future I would definitely know what to do.

It was definitely a really good and fun experience and we ended up with a very succesful outcome, however, if I could start over and do this again I would definitely manage my time wisely instead of rushing, and I would like to focus more on working on the reference
